Softwar: An Intimate Portrait of Larry Ellison and… af Matthew Symonds
I was most interested in the information on Oracle and Larry's theories on computing. This was dominant in the book, though it wasn't complete. I think I'd like to find a less complementary biography to balance this because I thought the author seemed more than friendly with him. I'd also like to find an update to cover the last 5+ years since the book was printed. For example, I know that the PeopleSoft and Seibel purchases have happened since then, and I'm curious on his take on why these were good for Oracle and his business when he seemed so critical of their business model. Overall, it was interesting, and I generally enjoyed most of it.… (mere)
4/04 Accurate to at least the years I was there. Explains a lot of dedication to Ron Wohl despite what many have said was too our detriment. Pages 173 & 183 refer directly to our division (DMD, then iSD and now OracleDirect) and specifically to the Solution Factory and Sales Call Online which were patented (submitted) and got me an audience with Larry.
