24. Strenghts and
cautions
“Oracle's application
infrastructure
middleware offering has
been evolving through
internal development
and acquisitions”, but…
Strenghts
• Second-largest application infrastructure
middleware vendor in the market (3.5B$ of
licenses sold)
• Comprehensive, integrated and feature-rich
application infrastructure offering
• Important Customer references
Cautions
• Many reference clients said Oracle was a
difficult vendor to deal with from a
commercial perspective and continue to report
dissatisfaction with Oracle's standard support
• The company still lags other vendors in the
mobile integration
• Oracle hasn't reached the same market
awareness and momentum of the incumbent
B2B players in these markets.
