don’t cover the enterprise space, but my colleague Ray Wang says that the Sun acquisition will be successful for Oracle, check out his blog post to read his highlights. While I’ll leave the specifics of the product and company integration to him, I want to focus on the cultures, and how it impacts their social programs. Anyone reading this blog knows this is important as it’s essentially how they’ll communicate with customers and employees. Sun has a long history of being open, through their technology, executives that blog, and the thousands of employees that participate in one way or another in the social web.
On the other hand, Oracle, which Indonesia Telegram Number Data I observe to have a culture of top down management has been slower to embrace the social web. To their credit, in the last few years, they’ve hosted a Lunch 2.0, launched an innovation piece, a social network called Mix, and have a thriving community in OTN. True transparency from Sun is rare, and difficult for many companies to achieve. What happens next is what’s interesting. Will Oracle adopt some of the open Sun culture, will Larry start to participate in the direct conversations with the market? Will the Sun culture simply be wrapped under the red banners? Or will it end up like Peoplesoft, those that integrate well shuffle in line. In reality, we’ll see a little bit of both.
There’s a lot of forces that factor into what I do online, from my day job, expectations from the market, personal relationships and client relationships. In fact, I have some specific rules about how I blog, and even how I tweet. This last glorious weekend of sun and surf, I gave up just talking about web strategy, and extended the discussion to my personal life. What’s interesting is that people react differently to me when I share my personal life (I am an individual, despite that I’ve dedicated most of my life to my career and family). I like Rex’s take, who had enough, and was thoughtful enough to say he didn’t want to hear about my personal life on Twitter.
