The IT industry's best kept secret is out -- SAP is still up for grabs despite spurning its first suitor, Microsoft.
Nothing has caused more of a sensation during the Oracle antitrust trial than Microsoft's merger talks with SAP.
Oracle on Tuesday trotted out numerous PeopleSoft documents discussing competitive pressure from Lawson Software and a variety of other makers of business application software.
U.S antitrust officials may wait until January to weigh in on Oracle's embattled bid to acquire PeopleSoft, and European regulators are likely to initiate a more in-depth review of the deal, an Oracle executive said Wednesday.
A federal judge handed Oracle a victory on Thursday, ruling that the company's acquisition of software rival PeopleSoft would pose no threat to competition in the corporate software market.
The IT industry's best kept secret is out -- SAP is still up for grabs despite spurning its first suitor, Microsoft.
Increasing competitive pressure from SAP and the entry of Microsoft into the business applications market spurred Oracle to launch its hostile bid for PeopleSoft last year, Oracle CEO Larry Ellison testified on Wednesday.
Since taking the reins of Germany's SAP last year, Henning Kagermann has hardly had a dull moment. In this interview, he talks about Microsoft's bid to acquire the company, and where the enterprise software market is headed.
Oracle may be celebrating its long-awaited union with PeopleSoft, but customers, employees and competitors have reason to worry.
Oracle will acquire Siebel Systems for US$5.8 billion. The long-predicted buyout will have interesting ramifications on the Australian market.
