While Larry was boasting about acquiring SAP customers
While oracle kept hammering about taking away SAP customers, SAP acquired big daddy Google as one of its customer to run financial software replacing oracle Financials. https://www.cnbc.com/2021/04/05/google-will-stop-using-oracle-finance-software-switch-to-sap.html Google parent Alphabet plans in the coming weeks to stop using Oracle financial software and instead start using software from SAP, CNBC has learned.
Yeah I think it's because Oracle tried to pull a fast one and created bad blood. https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2021/04/how-the-supreme-court-saved-the-software-industry-from-api-copyrights
Oracle did after all sue Google for Android libraries being copied directly from Open Source Java libraries
It is all about optics. When you are all thunder and lightening, be ready to showcase some showers. If no one in oracle did not think about SAP, LJE would not spend his last 2 earning calls berating them for half the time. Truth is that both legacy oracle and SAP are dinosaur of modern era.
My friend wisdom starts when you admit your mistake. This will make you wiser and avoid repeating it. “No one cares about SAP as competition?” Then Why did your CEO Larry been barking the past couple of months about taking big SAP customers? So you not caring means more than your CEO caring? Just take this L dude 🤣
Stop paying attention to barking lunatic.
