ABOUT THIS COMPANY:
One of the giants
Along with Microsoft and IBM, Oracle is one of the three largest software companies in the world. It specializes in database and middleware software, as well as applications, but also has a large consulting business through which it offers strategy and analysis, business process optimization, product implementation, enhancements and upgrades, and ongoing managed services. Although the consulting division only accounted for 15 percent of revenue in fiscal 2008, it was still a billion-dollar enterprise, bringing in almost $3.5 billion. Just over half (51 percent) of 2008 revenue was generated in the Americas, with Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) accounting for 35 percent, and the remainder (14 percent) coming from Asia Pacific.
