HP is reportedly getting ready to trade in its more sophisticated Oracle Siebel customer relationship management

HP is reportedly getting ready to trade in its more sophisticated Oracle Siebel customer relationship management (CRM) system for a subscription to 35,000 or 40,000 seats worth of Salesforce.com's simpler high-flying CRM cloud widgetry, a major victory for salesforce. At least that's what Global Equities Research analyst Trip Crowdry is telling people citing industry contacts and HP insiders suggest it's true. The move is supposed to save HP 40%-50% off what it's paying Oracle, which is reportedly fit to be tied although it can hardly expect better treatment after weeks of calling HP CEO Léo Apotheker a crook involved in SAP's heist of five terabytes worth of Oracle software.
A federal jury decided Tuesday that SAP should pay Oracle a record $1.3 billion in damages. Any move to salesforce is likely to weigh on what's left of the Oracle-HP relationship. Apotheker is reportedly supposed to turn up at salesforce.com's Dreamforce conference in early December. Saleforce is supposed to claim that it's the "new Oracle, just like Google is the new Microsoft and Microsoft is the new Xerox."
