Random thoughts of an Irish Software Architect in the GIS Industry.

Oracle Marketing ?

Posted in Uncategorized by Ro on the October 5th, 2007

A package arrived for me today from Oracle.

e11.95 Cash on Delivery.

I had no Idea what it was.

Turned out to be about 12 CD’s - Various Oracle products 11g & 10g Database
and other software. All of which is freely available to download - Most
of which we had already.

PLUS - there is a “Commercial Invoice” with the CD’s for $60

I never ordered anything !

I wonder if this is how Oracle makes money ?
By just sending out random cd’s to their partners and charging them ?
