    I can't imagine he would risk his clients' security by releasing all these bugs ...

    It may surprise you to learn that some of us pay security consultancies to find bugs in software we use. I don't really care if they then spray them all over milw0rm or keep them quiet for use in their next pen-test; I can make an informed decision on whether to use it, and if so, what sort of controls to include to cover the risk.

  2. Siebel website by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on Oracle To Buy Siebel

    I guess Siebel will have to take this http://www.siebel.com/crm-company/peoplesoft/index .shtm off their website now.

    On the Siebel home page they describe the advantages of the merger i.e. better customer satisfaction..blah..blah blah..
    But check out this on Siebel website. It has several comments on how the PeopleSoft/Oracle merger is bad for customers.
    Just as an example: Peoplesoft/ORACLE merger is a loss for the CRM market.
    Someone better feed these web-developers to clean up the pages!
    How about some anti-trust/ monopoly action?

    I know for a fact that the CEO of Siebel wrote an internal memo to all employees about their complete commitment to fighting terrorism. Siebel is currently in a crisis, I guess they can use the money....

    See this project at Siebel's home page.

  7. MS branching out by MartinB · · Score: 2 · on IBM Getting PwC Consulting for $3.5 Billion

    You obviously didn't notice that Microsoft now sells a CRM suite and a reasonably well thought of Content Management System.

    Now the CRM suite is no match for Siebel, as it's targeted at SMEs, but the CMS is in the tier just below Vignette and Documentum, and has inflicted major price movements in the CMS market.

    Oh, btw, spot on with the rest of your comment.

  8. There isn't, and for a while there won't be. by DavidpFitz · · Score: 3, Insightful · on CRM for Linux?

    CRM on Linux (or any Free OS) is a long way off. It's not a technical reason, it's just that CRM is a very expensive business (Think $30k for a Siebel licence (per seat) and then the big servers that sit behind it. I've seen Siebel implementations that use 6 E10K's to drive it. Really.

    Problem is, big businesses are going to want to use Oracle on Solaris, and since they do, people like Siebel, SAP and Oracle (with their own CRM offerings) are always going to tune (and tie) their systems to Oracle on Sun (almost always.)

    So, for the moment, the only way you're going to see enterprise level CRM software on Linux is through a browser front end.

    It really sucks, since all that's needed is a fairly thin client to get Siebel working on Linux. Come to think of it, that part of it couldn't be that hard to port... but it still leaves you tied server-wise.
