Wow, we didn't really believe it, but the WSJ is reporting this morning that Oracle is actually buying Netsuite for $9.3 billion, which is a premium of 19% over yesterday's closing price.

As a long-time JD Edwards/Oracle customer, I was so happy with our decision to migrate to NetSuite for a couple of reasons, not the least of which was not having to be an Oracle customer anymore. I guess I'll have to get used to being treated like garbage again by my ERP vendor.

ReplyDeleteWe're taking a look at xTuple - do you have any ETL tool suggestion for migrating our Netsuite data across?
ReplyDeleteHi. There are a number of tools, depending on the complexity of your legacy data - ranging from a simple GUI mapping/import tool for handling CSV files, to full ETL solutions such as the open source Pentaho. We'd love to talk directly, and better understand your needs - please feel free to drop a line to sales@xtuple.com.
DeleteThanks,
Ned
