Oracle's Savings Don't Add Up

Don't buy into Oracle's claims that it's saving billions of dollars by implementing its own e-business software. Much of the savings actually have come from cost-cutting measures that could have been achieved without the Internet, according to experts and an analysis of Oracle's financial
statements.
