First Take: Oracle Acquires Inquira

- It was about time, no one is surprised by this move as it was widely expected.
- As Nitin said, it closes an era in KM – but I am far more excited about the opportunities it opens up for new vendors to create new knowledge paradigms.
- Inquira’s current OEM partners are the ones most affected by this deal, but they have been preparing for this day to come and they all have alternative plans.
