  The number of clients I’ve worked with who are “stuck” with Oracle passes the 50% mark and I’m just one person.

  One company said that Oracle offered them a de-obfuscation tool to migrate elsewhere for a mere $2M. Absurd.

  Fuck Oracle.

    Uh, what, you can’t just pull your data and move elsewhere?

      Oracle is not a tech company it’s a racket run by an army of lawyers.

    In that market, it might be a decent deal.

      Maybe in some cases. This particular company at the time had revenue of $5M, with a much lower net, so $2M want even feasible.

        They’re probably not a very good candidate to be an Oracle client either. They typically target larger accounts. Shame to end up stuck like that.
