I am delighted to welcome Oracle to the past and present gallery of innovators and disruptors who sponsor this and the New Florence. New Renaissance blog. With Oracle Fusion Applications starting to roll out, and with their ability to mesh software and hardware as in Exadata with the addition of Sun, Oracle is poised to unleash a number of innovations over the next few years.
Oracle is the world's largest business software company and a leading provider of computer hardware products and services with more than 370,000 customers—including 100 of the Fortune 100, and representing a variety of industries around the globe. Initially, Oracle delivered database software, followed by packaged enterprise applications and middleware, to provide customers with a more complete, open, and integrated software solution. Now, with the addition of Sun's hardware and software technologies, Oracle's portfolio has evolved. Going forward, Oracle plans to engineer and deliver open and integrated systems—from applications to disk—where all the pieces fit and work together out of the box. Learn more about Oracle.
