businessweek.com — "The $3.3 billion cash deal announced Thursday will give Oracle an arsenal of Hyperion products that are used by more than half of SAP's customers. Hyperion's tools, known as "business intelligence" software, help chief financial officers and other top corporate executives track their company's performance."

I misspelt it and didn't catch it in time, it should read 2006 -- purchases Sunopsis and ETL vendor

Is this the same Hyperion that is developing Amiga OS4???

Right.The part that worries me the most is ther acquisitions like Sleepycat, Innobase, attempt at getting JBoss, and now their constant swings at Red Hat with Oracle Enterprise Lnux and Unbreakable Linux (due to the JBoss thing?). As somebody who has had to deal with systems containing Oracle products, I can say that I loathe having to even remotely think about them being the people behind the distribution of Linux my machines run. They will most assuredly screw something up, somehow. I already slightly fear the possibility that the Oracle-ness of where I work will result in me having to use OEL or Unbreakable Linux.Please, make it all stop.

@nex9Peoplesoft has the best integration and requires the fewest mods to implement. I'm not saying its perfect but its the best of a bad bunch. SAP is a f**king mess held together with pieces of string and an oracle implementation takes so much programming, you are basically building the thing from scratch.

So Oracle is at it again. Larry Ellison just will not settle until he owns the entire database management community. Their goal is to have total control over all database companies. Even though Ellison seams to be a micro-manager, his company seems to be thriving just fine.

I would like to see SAS take a lot more market share from some of Oracle's offerings. I don't think they are keeping pace with their acquisitions. <a class="user" href="http://www.businessintelligencebooks.com">http://www.businessintelligencebooks.com</a>
