On the heels of SAP’s announcement of delays in increased maintenance fees last week, comes Oracle’s this morning
“During his keynote today at the COLLABORATE conference, Oracle President Charles Phillips announced the company has waived Extended Support fees for a number of the Oracle major product lines through 2010 and 2011.”
As I wrote here – it is a just a diversionary tactic. The base price of maintenance was too high to start with. Continues to be.
This is a small bone hoping the maintenance issue will disappear into the background. Good dog – now go back to your corner and keep writing those checks…don’t – unlike what the Walmart logo says, don’t smile. Continue to frown. In fact, keep barking.
