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).
Siebels 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.
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.
What do you mean? My 10grid oem was such a pleasure to configure and keep running. </sarcasm>
