Charles Phillips People Quotations

It is a team environment. People who do well at Oracle are people who understand that and don't mind exchanging ideas.

We can't take anything away if we expect people to upgrade. It's got to be a superset,

To the extent that they're shifting the focus on shareholder value, that's a good thing and people want to hear that,

You have to keep in mind that in the case of PeopleSoft and Siebel, a number of people there used to work for or are partners of Oracle. So it's usually just a reunion. It's not as dramatic as it's portrayed from the outside.

Even if it may not be the most elegant or cool feature, if people are using it, and they think it's important, then it needs to be there for people to upgrade. There will be some things that we thought were cool, but no one ever used, so that doesn't make it. This is a chance to do it the right way.
