This might be the year we look on in hindsight as the time Oracle got its groove back. It is well known that CEO Larry Ellison thinks in 10-year cycles and about how the industry seems to morph like a caterpillar about every decade. He’s not the only one. Marc Benioff, CEO of Salesforce.com, has referenced the decadal cadence, and others have too. What’s different this time is the size and scope of the change, especially for Oracle. You can start your timer with Ellison’s unwise commentary at the Churchill Club just a couple of years ago in which he belittled cloud computing.
