Future of hardware R&D https://www.thelayoff.com/t/JVuoyF9#xus
Time to have a plan. Oracle lags these days but ends up figuring out that they have to play the same game to remain competitive or even stay in the game.
Market issues from seekingalpha
Summary The decline is hardware revenue is re-accelerating. Growth in cloud revenue is barely offsetting declines elsewhere. Given sluggish growth and deteriorating profitability, Oracle deserves a discount valuation.
Where have been the latest rif hits? Burlington engineering confirmed hits. As usual under the radar every month just a few.

contrast MH to Mark Beniof a true leader and entrepreneur in tech. It's nice to see the mentee of LE saw the light regards to Oracle.
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/05/16/salesforce_replace_oracle_database/ Arrogance might have paid off in the start of tech because of lack of options but those days are over. My bet is Oracle will be eating humble pie in the next few years.
Is there a worse CEO out there? http://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/09/19/oracle_openworld1/

RIFs are not over this is just the tip of the ice berg. Small sites are most at risk at first.
With all corporations this is the strategy and Oracle will not be left out. You'll see consolidations and all kinds of reductions. So far LE has been able to appease the gullible investors but not this round of earnings report. Based on that and if... — read more
