John Matelski Quotations

I have had the pleasure of participating on an alternative database focus group sponsored by Oracle, and based on my participation am confident that they are analyzing all databases, and they will make some determinations as to how other databases may be able to be integrated into the final solution.

Oracle is coming across as very benevolent, very interested in feedback from user groups, and very helpful in listening to customers; we feel they're going to listen to us.

Oracle has done an excellent job integrating PeopleSoft and JD Edwards customers, not only into their overall corporate support structure, but also their Fusion application strategy as well.

The city of Orlando is going to evaluate all of its options based on features and functionality as it is unveiled.

I have not heard anyone say that they are thinking of defecting to SAP. You don't change your ERP system on a whim.

Some minor customizations will always be required. Actually I am hopeful that the new Fusion solution may actually eliminate the need for any of our current customizations, and am hopeful that we will be able to use Oracle development tools to 'recreate' any customizations that would be required.
