Looks like we may continue moving next week! I still say we see $50+ by mid/late summer:
Intraware To Sell Oracle Products

Jun. 02, 2000 (InformationWeek - CMP via COMTEX) -- Businesses that use Oracle's
database management system now have a new place to buy and download Oracle's
flagship product online. Oracle has agreed to let Intraware Inc. sell,
configure, deploy, and update Oracle's database and patches online. The deal
gives Intraware's online marketplace for Web-based software and services a boost
from a high-profile software developer.
Oracle has its own electronic channel for product distribution, but the
agreement signals that the demand for this type of distribution is greater than
the developer can manage on its own, says Carol Baroudi, director of E-business
strategies with Hurwitz Group. Intraware's site provides information about the
products as well as online training and support.
The relationship between Oracle and Intraware puts two of ShopLink.com Inc.'s
technology partners on the same page, says Michael Lenart, chief technology
officer for the Westwood, Mass., online provider of groceries and home concierge
services. A year ago, ShopLink.com purchased Oracle software such as Reports
Server, Forms Server, Order Management System, and 8i Enterprise Edition
directly from Oracle. Now, Lenart says, Intraware's model makes patches and
upgrades for these products more accessible. Adds Lenart, "Intraware will also
help me keep up-to-date with Oracle software patches through its E-mail update
service." |
