- It costs more. That makes my budget bigger so clearly I must be more
important. Besides, they have really cool parties at the user group
meetings and since the 3rd party products also cost more, the vendors are
willing to give out better perks and hold better parties..
- there are many capabilities and limitations of oracle, but it takes
really expensive resources to exploit them which makes my group and budget
larger, see a) above. Also, since it's so complex I don't have to worry
about the pseudo-geek manager in hr coming up with a slick use on her own.
they have to come to my group, see a) above.
- well, to really maximize the potential of a) above you have to use it
for erp with other apps like sap or peoplesoft. throw in data warehousing
and you are golden for many years to come. see a) above.
- I don't use it myself, it's too damn complex. I let my group use it.
see a) above.
- acess wont run on the really big iron like sun ue-10k or the big ibm
rs's. They cost a lot too. see a) above.
