Charles Phillips Keynote Why Moscone North Was Buzzing This morning Oracle President Charles Phillips set the tone for Oracle OpenWorld by calling this “the Year of Innovation.” He then backed up his statement over the next hour by demonstrating just what Oracle has accomplished since we last met at Oracle OpenWorld.
First he rolled through some numbers for perspective: Oracle has made 50 acquisitions in 44 months. We now offer 3,000 products. Our number of employees has grown from 40,000 to 85,000 since the acquisition strategy began, and one-third of these new employees joined us through acquisitions. We have 20,000 developers working across 30,000 servers. And we will invest about $3 billion this year in pure research and development.
Our overall product strategy, Phillips said, remains the same. To provide products that are complete, open, and integrated. They are complete so we can control all the components and add value. They’re open to create standard communication between Oracle components, and with third-party components. They’re preintegrated to reduce the amount of integration the customer has to do and to reduce the growing complexity of IT systems. Read the full story.
The keynote of Phillips and Rozwat had a smal Dutch touch, besides Michael Phelps the CIO of KPN Jan Muchez was brought on-stage to tell the World about Oracle success.
It’s All 49ers, For A Change
Instead of Oracle’s open World the San Francisco Chronicle opened this morning with news on the 49-ers:
Frank Gore rushed for 130 yards and a touchdown, and QB J.T. O’Sullivan went 16-for-23 for 189 yards as the 49ers chewed up the lowly Lions 31-13 on Sunday.
Oracle Beehive
Charles Phillips and Chuck Rozwat announced “Oracle Beehive”. This is all about Collaboration (next of Collaboration Suite). Think of Communicate (email, wiki, chat and so on) and Coordinate (calendar, contacts, tags). From Fragmentation (different kinds of applications, databases) to Integration, so reducing Infrastructure. Choice of client software (e.g. Outlook) and Co-Existence (Beehive next to Exchange server).
It’s integrated in the Oracle Infrastructure, so it’s Secure and Open. Makes users more productive. All about Web2.0.
It is really a buzzzzz.
Here you can find the keynote schedule. It looks like no special Apps key note is planned.

Oracle sees progress on Fusion apps Observers say Oracle is finally making substantial progress on its next-generation Fusion Applications suite, more than three-and-a-half years after the project was first announced. Oracle has said Fusion Applications will blend together the best features from its various product lines, which include PeopleSoft, J.D. Edwards, Siebel and E-Business Suite. Read the full story…
Oracle aims to get Fusion to some by next year Oracle is aiming to get the first version of Fusion Applications into the hands of early adopters in 2009, and the initial version of the software will deliver a significant chunk of functionality, an Oracle executive said during a panel session Sunday at the OpenWorld conference in San Francisco. “We’re pretty far along,” said Chris Leone, group vice president of applications strategy. Oracle can’t talk about general availability for the applications but plans to “look for some early adopters that we can get live and get started in the 2009 time frame,” he added.
