Oracle is getting more aggressive with their Java inquiries and has even created a Java sales team which is separate from their application and technology sales teams and their LMS audit teams. This separate unit is compensated for closing Java sales and they are using creative ways to identify and advance sales opportunities, often being very aggressive. Some customers have even said that at times, they seem to be more aggressive than the regular Oracle sales representatives. In this podcast, Oracle Practice Leader, Jeff Lazarto, discusses how the Java sales team has been approaching companies and how what starts as a simple inquiry can quickly diverge into an aggressive sales cycle and potentially a technology audit. He also shares three items you must know if you’re contacted by Oracle, especially if they are contacting you regarding Java.
