Enterprise Software in 2013: 11 Predictions

Oracle has been struggling heavily in the hardware business since its high profile acquisition of Sun’s hardware business in 2010. The company has announced that their main focus is on its Exadata database machine and also has a very little interest on the server market.
With 2013 rolling, we will be seeing signs of Oracle retreating a bit from the hardware market as the company have realized the hardcore fact that they are still a software company at heart.
