Oracle hits SAP with accusations of corporate espionage
By Maggie Holland,
The case could either fizzle out quickly or drag on for a while, the latter of which would prove very distracting to the industry and create even greater uncertainty for customers who may already be concerned as to how the lawsuit affects them, claims Mitchell.
"One group of people that must not be forgotten in this turmoil is the customers of both SAP and Oracle," he said.
"...Oracle has no beef with SAP customers, only with SAP. Oracle could remove customer concerns by declaring that it would not pursue SAP customers, for any breech of IP that SAP may or may not have undertaken. Not only would this give some welcome customer re-assurance, it would also demonstrate that customers will not be punished for changing software or service providers. We encourage Oracle to re-assure customers along these lines."
