I sold that company for $200M, our investors received more than eighteen times their invested capital, I made a lot of millionaires in the company, distributed stock to all the employees and even the receptionist was able to purchase a home and change her life. Telx is a great company, in fact it was recently sold again, about a year ago, for almost $2 billion,” said Mr. Cutaia.

Q: Oracle is a large product, development and service company. With all their resources, why wouldn't they develop something similar?
A: For the last year they've been hiring like gangbusters. Oracle has 1,957 open sales position right now and 732 presales. A total Saleforce of 35,000.
They also have 2057 openings in product development on top of their 40,000 developers and engineeers
That potentially is $250M in product development new hires and another $250M in sales new hires this year.
That's 1/2 a billion $ in new hires not include the team they would need to hire to build a product like notifiCRM. Rory has said, if Oracle could develop this themselves they would. It is a lot faster to partner with an existing company than to try to hiring even more people to create a new solution from scratch.
Q: Why would Oracle do a deal with a small startup company?
Reuters:
A: Large companies do it all the time when they find great innovation. Here's an example:

Q: I heard a lot about Salesforce being a giant in CRM. Why didn't nFusz do a deal with them first or even SAP?
A: Oracle and Marketo are number #1 in a lot of categories. Oracle has a customer base of 430,000 customers in 175 countries.
http://www.oracle.com/us/corporate/oracle-fac...079219.pdf
What a lot of people don't know is even Oracle's competition rely on Oracle. Having Oracle sales reps market nFusz to Oracle customers is also marketing the company so Oracle's competitors at the same time.
"Let me tell you who's not moving off of Oracle. A company you've heard of that gave us another $50 million this last quarter. That company is Amazon. They're not moving off of Oracle. Salesforce isn't moving off of Oracle. Our competitors, who have [no reason] to like us very much, continue to invest in and run their entire business on Oracle. I don't know who's moving on from Oracle. Maybe Mark knows, maybe Safra does. But Amazon , you think Amazon would really want to move. Let me tell you someone else who is not moving out of Oracle: SAP . They have the database called HANA. They'd like to move SuccessFactors. They've been trying to move off of Oracle for 5 or 6 years. All SAP large customers run on Oracle. Amazon continues to buy Oracle technology to run their business. Salesforce runs entirely on Oracle. Go ahead, you tell me who's moving off of Oracle."

Q: Now that nFusz has done a deal with Oracle, does that mean they can't do a deal with any of the other large companies like SalesForce, SAP, Microsoft, etc.?
A: The Oracle deal is non-exclusive. nFusz is free to do deals with anyone else.
Q: Why would SalesForce, SAP, Microsoft want to do a deal with nFusz now that the product is going to be integrated into Oracle's Netsuite?
A: To stay competitive and not lose market share. Integrating nFusz technology into their solutions could cancel out the advantage Oracle has initially. Oracle is raising the bar on the product offering and NotifiCRM may be the new minimum that every product must have.
Q: What is the relationship of Oracle, Salesforce, SAP, Microsoft, Amazon and Google?
A: Salesforce's Triangulation Strategy
