Oracle has run out of time. “All” of the previous acquisition units were never a long term solution, SUN, BEA, Pillar, Micros, Cerner.
They simply buy any product and immediately gut it and reap as much profit from the carcasses as possible before the customer realizes they no longer get the service or features they once took for granted. They are a predatory business that destroys decent business models and replaces them with greedy profit margins. At some point that model fails. It appears that point is now for Oracle. Any business unit based on another companies idea is doomed from the start. It’s not IF, but WHEN it happens. No one is safe from the business necromonger called Oracle.
Not even Oracle itself.
This is it in a nutshell. Reposted from @1ghz+1hRt5gco.
