on a buying frenzy
There was plenty of drama, and excitement around Oracle's bid, and eventual purchase of Peoplesoft for $10 billion last year. Now they're in the news again, and Larry has his hands full. Recent purchase of security software firm Oblix for an undisclosed amount, and Retek for $631 million have add the the list. Not bad for a couple of weeks work.
For sure there has never been a better time to be an Oracle integrator. The Oracle landscape just got that much more complex, and will keep us all busy for years to come.
Update: Just found another blogger's analysis. Among other things he discusses the complexity of managing four codebases. Busy indeed.
