Hard sell

 

Been hearing some stories about Oracle's power plays here in Australia. It seems they are strong arming existing customers to force them to move directly into their cloud offerings.

And it is not even cheap. Instead of a direct upgrade of any on-premise siebel installation, they are trying to sell my current client their CX cloud offering. With a total cost of 10 million over 5 years ! 4 million per annum for CX cloud !


This is a hard sell. Specially looking at other alternatives in the market.

So it was no surprise there, when we unanimously threw that option out of the window.


So now, back to  Siebel On-Premise for now.
