Can Oracle Cope with Loss of Amazon’s Database Business?
The Information, a technology news site, recently reported that Amazon (AMZN) is in the process of ditching Oracle’s (ORCL) database and that it has already made significant progress toward this goal. Amazon, a leading player in the e-commerce and cloud computing industries, is one of Oracle’s largest database customers. Amazon’s motivation to move away from Oracle’s database is partly tied to a need to cut costs.
