Salesforce has become what it aimed to radically change… a piece of behemoth software, solutions stacked up to each other, overpriced acquisitions and licenses. It lost its glitter that once it had. Hopefully, the visionary leader sees through the rut and shakes up the entire organization to its core. Monday musing.

I think that’s inevitable at scale. Salesforce is the beating heart of the organizations that use it. That’s leaves a lot of latitude for Salesforce to run with it.

We are seeing that in the nonprofit side, that a lot of nonprofits are priced out of Salesforce altogether. Or the various products that we’d love to implement for them, are outrageously expensive.

That being said, there are competitors moving in on territory, which should drive innovation, change, and healthy competition.

Read your post. Feeling the same way, actually. Decided to check out Oracle: asking myself, where are they, today? And so I am reminded, great companies are built to last. They are resilient.

“Since August 2018, the stock is up 46% compared to a 37% gain for the S&P 500.”

Revenue for the twelve months ending November 30, 2022 was $46.072B, a 11.29% increase year-over-year. Annual revenue for 2022 was $42.44B, a 4.84% increase from 2021.

Scale
US$42B in revenue in FY2022
430,000 customers in 175 countries
More than US$64B in R&D since FY2012
US$110B+ spent on more than 150 acquisitions
20,000 partners across the globe

Supports thousands of educational institutions and millions of students in more than 130 countries

Innovation
World’s first and only autonomous database
Industry’s broadest and deepest suite of cloud applications
More than 18,900 patents worldwide
48,000 developers and engineers
5 million registered members of Oracle’s customer and developer communities
469 independent user communities in 97 countries representing more than 1 million members

Giving
US$20+ million donated to support 7,000+ nonprofits through grants, sponsorships, and the workplace in 62 countries.

Education
Oracle employees donated 4,661 hours to coach 455 students through 17 Oracle Education Foundation classes on technology and design thinking.

Sustainability
47% decrease in total emissions since 2020.

Volunteering
9,430 Oracle Volunteers donated 52,486 hours to complete 831 projects for 461 organizations in 42 countries.

Both Salesforce and Oracle are excellent companies. Everything is going to be fine…

Hear hear!

Salesforce wanted to make profits. End of.

ESG is good. But secondary to creating quality products and services for customers and generating a profit.
