The PROBLEM???: Still too much uncertainty (e.g. the following excerpt): But even though Thomas Kurian, e-business vice president at Oracle, says his company runs 90 percent of the Internet's biggest trading sites and 93 percent of Internet initial public offerings, it's not clear how much it will continue to benefit from growing adoption of the Internet. "Oracle always has the problem of what do they do when they've already sold a big player like eBay or Amazon all the Oracle they can eat," says Vernon Keenan, an Internet analyst at San Francisco-based Keenan Vision. "They've been struggling for four years to come up with a sales model that allows them to extract recurring sales revenues from customers like this." The answer? Oracle's Business Online, which will compete with other application service providers such as Corio and USinternetworking. Kurian says it will take a business only 30 days to get up and running on Business Online, adding that Oracle is running a pilot program that will let customers rent space on customer relationship management modules hosted at Business Online. <i/>
