Based on our current pipelines the entire management team believes that the overall year should be very strong, ... Specifically we expect that Oracle's software sales will grow faster this year than last. And margins should continue to improve as well.
We'll continue to expand our footprint... Oracle's Fusion cloud applications for HCM, CRM and ERP all have a new simplified user interface and an integrated social network that makes our enterprise applications as easy-to-use and familiar as Facebook, while enabling better collaboration and teamwork among your employees and your customers.
All of Tom's experience will be very valuable to Oracle for the next couple of years, ... I have no problem with him saying not-nice things about me in the past. I might have said some things about him. I forget. That's all water under the bridge. We're on the same team again.
I have run engineering since day one at Oracle, and I still run engineering. I hold meetings every week with the database team, the middle ware team, the applications team. I run engineering and I will do that until the board throws me out of there.
We highlighted 10 of our more than 450 customers that are currently live after just one year of the e-business suite.
We're very excited about this product. It's one of our biggest announcements for many, many years. It's the result of years of innovation and hard work.
I slept fine over the weekend, so conclude what you like. We're going to have a great year.
Every application we make works with the Mac today,
Rather than try to fight the open source trend, we think it's important to find ways to make it work to our advantage.
Our current quarter looks a lot stronger than our previous quarter, ... We're seeing some of the big deals coming back.
Our applications business is strong and getting stronger, ... Oracle's new e-Business Suite puts every aspect of a business -- marketing, sales, service, procurement, supply chain, manufacturing, accounting, human resources -- everything, on the Internet. All the applications in our suite are designed and engineered to work together, so customers buying the entire suite don't need to do any systems integration.
PeopleSoft is doing everything it can to prevent its shareholders from voting, ... If PeopleSoft's Board is so convinced that the J.D. Edwards acquisition is a great deal, why won't it let their shareholders vote on it?
PeopleSoft executives are traveling around telling customers that we will 'kill' PeopleSoft's products and force them to move to Oracle's applications, ... These are lies and scare tactics.
I've never experienced anything remotely like this. It's been a very emotional experience to get here. This is not what this is supposed to be about. A lot of us are upset.
