The reason for outage report should be interesting.

My cousin mentioned their erp was down mid-day, and I laughed citing HN like "oh yeah, forgot you're a poor bastard oracle user." It was entirely dead, like everything apparently, most of the day. Sadly the financial people don't care, they will still cut a check to daddy Ellison monthly.

At least one large California municipality I worked with made a multi-year concerted effort to abandon the misery that is oracle erp. That said, never heard how that venture panned out with the replacement. Something about a frying pan to the fire comes to mind.
