Oracle in the early days had one of the most competitive cultures of any company They were willing to do anything to win (It caught up with them in 1990) But this passage from the book, The Difference Between God and Larry Ellison: *God Doesn't Think He's Larry Ellison, explains it 👇 "The fundamental question for any businessperson is: What are you prepared to do to get ahead? And whether or not anybody thought about it, Oracle faced that question every day. What would Oracle do to win? Was it willing to deceive its customers—or at least make them feel deceived—about what they would get for their money? Was it prepared to loose a sell and drop sales force on the marketplace? To put all the really good people in presales at the expense of customer support? To release software that wasn't ready in an attempt to stay competitive? Gary Kennedy: "The motto-or the epitaph-could well be written: We did what we had to do." --- I think it's important for anyone in business to understand their answer to that question: What are you prepared to do to get ahead? And know that there are probably competitors out there, good or bad, willing to do anything.

As we end Oracle’s remarkable and eventful quarter and year end today, I wanted to share with you a very inspiring and humbling message I spotted on the road. “Customer service is not a department, it’s an attitude.” A truly powerful and a timely reminder. Imagine the limitless potential of everything we could achieve if customer excellence was at the core of everything we did. At #Oracle, we strive to make this difference. On that note, I thank all our teams, partners & customers for trusting their valuable business with us and we look forward to a great and successful FY25 ahead.

In a recent feature on The Register, Nicholas Walter, CTO of House of Brick, shared some pivotal insights into Oracle's strategies. Highlighting the intensity of Oracle's year-end activities, Nick emphasized Oracle's end-of-year surge is a clear indicator of their market influence and strategic priorities. Oracle often uses year-end discounts to close deals, but users should be cautious. Despite attractive percentages, these deals may not always offer the best long-term value. It's crucial to evaluate the overall cost-effectiveness, not just the immediate discount. 🔗 Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/g9UcrR_R #TechLeadership #Oracle #MarketTrends #HouseOfBrick #InnovationInTech #OracleConsulting
