Not sure. they have not yet announced. Given Apps Unlimited, the list will probably be not as large as one could imagine. b. Mobile does not seem to be native based but mobile enabled c. Key skills will be get up to speed on OBIEE, Fusion Middleware, and of course Integration. Cheers - Ray Rajesh –

We expect that trend to continue with Fusion CRM. However, Fusion CRM will take some time to be comparable to existing Siebel implementations, especially for those customers who went wonkers over customizing Siebel - Ray Jeff – At this time we estimate that over 95% of Oracle’s Siebel CRM is being sold on demand.

I hope the question is not too lame? Ray,

What’s your quick assessment of how the new Fusion CRM applications will be sold and implemented compared to SFDC? I hope the question is not too lame?

Any comments on a) Products retirements and fusion upgrade roadmap for existing investments. b) I remember mobile strategy mentioned in the agenda. SAP Sybase purchase has been talk within Oracle. Is there any strategy and direction on it to counter SAP, Microsoft etc. c) What kind of new skills needed for Fusion story. Ray,

Thanks for the interesting coverage.

Any comments on

a) Products retirements and fusion upgrade roadmap for existing investments.

b) I remember mobile strategy mentioned in the agenda. SAP Sybase purchase has been talk within Oracle. Is there any strategy and direction on it to counter SAP, Microsoft etc.

c) What kind of new skills needed for Fusion story.

Add the 60+ acquisitions. The saving grace - the large maintenance revenue base and the high profitability gives Oracle and other mega vendors a shot at getting it right. you only get one shot these days so we'll have to wait and see. What do others think? - Ray Henry – great points. it is tough to do both and hold the lines. Add the 60+ acquisitions.

Sure it sounds great on paper, but operationally, it is an enormous headache. SaaS solutions and on-premise solutions are not the same animal, and often times require a different scale / configurability mix, among other things. These differing requirements will push the codelines apart, resulting in different solutions evolving separately. The question is really - how serious is Oracle in SaaS? The on-premise way of doing things is simply too expensive to thrive in the SaaS world. Ray,
