Oracle reaches out to JDE user group

Oracle is going to finish the take over of Peoplesoft and has declared that they are going to support the customers and try to find synergies between the offerings. As hard as this is to believe, Oracle has started to call the JD Edwards users group in Denver.

Early this morning, Oracle contacted the Quest Board of Directors and indicated an eagerness to work with Quest as the unified voice of EnterpriseOne and World users. In a conference call that followed, the Quest board pledged to work with Oracle to ensure that your voice is heard as product and support decisions are made. We will share information about Oracles direction as specifics are provided, as openly and quickly as possible.

And Oracle has restated that there is no plans of spinning off the applications that they are buying.

“We have no intention of spinning off Enterprise One or any of the products,” Catz said. “We will bring them in, evaluate the state of the code and bring it, ultimately into a converged product line. We have no intention of spinning them off.”

In the AS/400 work with one of the main enterprises that run on the platform it seems that IBM is going to have one less division. Maybe they saw this coming and that is why they consolidated the hardware of the iSeries and pSeries.
Just a thought.

The question I has such forward vision where did Microsoft come from?

Frank Scavo at The Enterprise System Spectator has a couple posts on this.
