Executive Summary (This is a document excerpt)

Oracle has announced plans to buy Sunopsis, and in doing so is poised to compete in data integration and data management environments that extend beyond an Oracle stack. While Oracle's openness strategy isn‘t completely new — it's been evangelizing its Fusion Middleware's "hot-pluggability" — openness in data integration middleware is new. Sunopsis' ability to connect a wide variety of data sources and targets will allow Oracle to address the heterogeneous data management environments its enterprise architect customers must contend with. This acquisition could be a big win for the Siebel, PeopleSoft, and JD Edwards customers who, following the acquisitions by Oracle, find themselves smack in the middle of a perhaps unwanted Oracle-dominated ecosystem.
