First Take: Oracle Acquires Inquira

I have written a lengthy research note evaluating the deal, repercussions for end-users and vendors, and looking at what happens next in the market. It has been distributed to my clients via separate email, but I am going to include three key points I made in it:
- 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.
