Clearly there are products that compete or overlap in that [SOA] space, but when we [HP and Oracle] get together on a particular pursuit of a client, we will look for the best solution. |
If a customer has an interest in working with products from a particular vendor, we will do that. If they come to us with an open slate, we'll put together the appropriate solution based on their requirements. We don't view reselling components as anything other than an additional benefit to customers. |
This extends what we've already been doing with Oracle, from a database layer and from a hardware perspective with Oracle applications. To match [Oracle Fusion] with our SOA offering has an excellent value proposition for our customers. HP will be providing the bulk of the delivery capability. HP is growing its capability in this space, training significant resources to deliver solutions. We will incorporate the Oracle application development framework with our HP global methodology. |
