Oracle defends its e-biz turf



Oracle jumps into the eCommerce fray...

Oracle CEO Larry Ellison already rules the database market. And now, with
the imminent release of Oracle Applications 11i, Ellison wants to swat
away competition from IBM and Microsoft, and conquer the world of
e-business. 

>From Amazon.com (Nasdaq: AMZN) to Yahoo! (Nasdaq: YHOO), Oracle's
(Nasdaq: ORCL) databases are the brains behind most of the Internet's
biggest dot-com storefronts. Nearly two-thirds of the Fortune 100 already
rely on Oracle's e-commerce software, according to Collaborative
Research. And Oracle's recent business-to-business deals with Ford Motor
and Sears, Roebuck and Co. caught Wall Street's attention.
