Oracle is not going away, but organic innovation no longer thrives here.

Acquisitions (Siebel, ATG, RightNow, etc.) have allowed Oracle to cross the chasm away from ERP into the social and analytics spaces. But, like MSFT the platform for the solutions is antiquated, and like SAP and IBM the engineering-centric nature of piecing the solution together is inherently user–unfriendly.
