That’s aggressive sales department, make no mistake about it.

It’s actually easy to sell shit software. The average person knows a lot more about cars, for example, thank they do software. I’m sure Oracle makes huge money on name alone. The IT manager doesn’t want to take a chance with some lesser name. Just get Oracle, then nobody can blame them when shit hits the fan.

Only incompetent people wouldn't blame the IT manager for choosing Oracle.

I would be more inclined to blame the buyer, not the seller.

It's the old big business joke. "No one ever got fired for buying IBM". You can easily replace Oracle in that sentence.
