Oracle Buying PeopleSoft...Finally

Oracle Buying PeopleSoft...Finally 12/19/2004 03:18 PM

AP: Ora cle, PeopleSoft to merge in $10.3B deal. The agreement, announced Monday, caps a rancorous Silicon Valley feud marked by churlish exchanges between the companies' management teams and colorful courtroom battles.

There's something anticlimatic about all this. It was a given, once the U.S. antitrust lawsuit against the deal failed, that a buyout would happen unless a white knight showed up to buy PeopleSoft. Let's be clear on at least one point. This deal is not likely to be helpful to PeopleSoft customers, no matter how Oracle spins it. It's probably good for Oracle, which is bulking up to fight what it quite plausibly believes is the battle of the titans -- including SAP now and Microsoft later -- in the future of software. Oracle has been right to pursue consolidation in its particular field. That's clearly the way the world is going. But pretenses about value for customers should be taken with enormous grains of salt. The posturing -- the kindest word I can come up with -- from both companies during this drawn-out process has been unattractive, to say the least. Shareholders, customers, rank-and-file employees and the communities where the companies operate have witnessed the kind of corporate behavior, exemplified by CEO trash-talking (and worse), that takes away our confidence, not enhances it.

Oracle lowers PeopleSoft bid to $7.7 billion: After raising the bid twice, (the last time just two months ago — and that just four months after saying they weren't going any higher), they're now lowering it. I can't even speculate on the implications of this.

Business software maker Oracle reduced its hostile takeover bid for rival PeopleSoft to $7.7 billion Friday, shaving nearly 20%, or $1.7 billion, from its previous offer to reflect its prey's wilting market value.

Monday morning's newsthat Oracle will buy PeopleSoft for a small premium over Oracle's most recent offer was almost the ultimate in anticlimaxes. It was a given, once the U.S. antitrust lawsuit against the deal failed in early fall, that a buyout would happen unless an unexpected white knight showed up to buy PeopleSoft. This deal should have been done a long time ago. More...
