There is a real strong chance we will be dropping Oracle maintenance
next year.  We would have done the same thing if it was still Peoplesoft
as well.  We just don't get the bang for the buck anymore and we are ok
with that.  We are currently a World 7.3 client and plan to be there for
awhile.  If I were to guess, I'd say about 1/4 of the World clients (not
currently migrating to EnterpriseOne {OneWorld}) will jump ship on
Oracle in the next year with more to come after the first wave "tests
the 3rd party waters" and gets feedback from the community.  My .02
worth.

the third-party maintenance ring, joining three others that have done
the same since December.
