The window sticker is an expense that will grow with the incremental volume they want to sell.

Christopher White
There were five processes that had to merge to make that window sticker. Wow....
Oct 2, 2012
Christopher White
Watching these other CEOs talk really makes me appreciate Ellison and others who can at least be engaging.

Christopher White
Different modules let BrandEdge customers get all sorts of data and do campaigns. Not really a competitor to SalesForce from what I can gather.

You like Salesforce, it runs in one place. You can't move it inhouse, you can't make it private behind your firewall, you can't purchase those licenses.

Christopher White
Ellison: "I'm only planning on showing 380 of the 400 customers using our cloud. I figured all 400 would be too tedious."
Oct 2, 2012
Christopher White
All of the applications are built on industry-standard Java using industry-standard middleware and SQL.
Oct 2, 2012
Christopher White
Standards are still important. Just because we're in the cloud doesn't mean we can make everything proprietary.
Oct 2, 2012
Christopher White
"Just because we're in the cloud doesn't mean we forget everything we've learned over the last 20 years."

Big Data: 4.9 BILLION tweets from the Twitter Firehose (API that gives you lots of Tweets

)
Oct 2, 2012
Christopher White
Analyze both structured and unstructured textual data - in real time, not batch.

Oct 2, 2012
Christopher White

Christopher White
Now Labron is 8th and Phelps is #1 and Gaby Douglass (gymnastics) is making the list!
Oct 2, 2012
Christopher White
Used DECA for structured/unstructured analysis, sending between Exadata and Exalogic.
Oct 2, 2012

Oct 2, 2012
