JD Edwards customers positive but wary: ZDNet Australia: News: Software: "Enterprise application giant SAP wasted no time trying to poach customers of Oracle while its messy US$10 billion acquisition of Peoplesoft dragged on, but a positive response from customers affected by the deal suggest SAP may find the hunting tougher than it thought.
Flush with new customers after a US$18 billion shopping spree that also included retail giant Retek, customer relationship management giant Siebel Systems and a host of open-source companies, Oracle is now focused on helping its newfound customers plan for a future around its upcoming Oracle Fusion Architecture.
Presenting its case to around 400 attendees at the JD Edwards-focused Quest '06 user conference, Oracle promised customers that Fusion would provide a smooth transition, when they are ready, from their legacy applications."
