Oracle/SUN Competitive Edge

April 20, 2009

Oracle Acquisition 'Transforms Market' | www.crn.com

The acquisition of Sun MicroSystems will allow Oracle to expand their Software portfolio in many different areas and create a tremendous challenge for other software vendors. On the software side, it makes sense.  Especially in business mobility and applications for smart phones, where Oracle does not exist and SUN/JAVA is the preferred language shared by most application developers in this sector.   Also, SUN "FREE" Open Office applications which is similar to Microsoft Office Suite.   It has been a long time since we heard from Redwood vs Redmond while the focus was shifted to SAP and other ERP providers.   This is a great opportunity to put Oracle back in saddle competing with Microsoft in the smart phone apps-market.  Also, creating noise for free Open-Office and JAVA.  In addition, let's not forget JAVA role with Oracle family of applications. On the Hardware side, it is a different matter.   Sun has been struggling without any success to revive this sector.

President Obama is following through on his campaign pledge to try to limit the movement of jobs overseas.  If approved, his proposals will have an impact on offshoring.  Perhaps the major result, however, will be changing the mind-set that India/China is a requirement for lean operations.
