SEPTEMBER 12, 2005 (COMPUTERWORLD) - Users are unsure of just how the Oracle Corp's $5.85 billion buyout of ailing Siebel Systems Inc. will play out for them, but some IT shops were openly optimistic about the deal announced this morning (see ”Update: Oracle to buy Siebel Systems for $5.85B”).

Siebel’s CRM products are seen as feature-rich and highly mature, something Oracle believes it can exploit as it crafts its next generation set of best-of-breed applications, which it has dubbed Fusion.

Ok - anyone out there had any experience with Siebel's software.

Wait - I mean, has anyone had a good experience?

I'm still waiting for its first generation of useable applications. The database is rock solid but EVERYTHING else oracle makes stinks to heaven.
