Industry acceptance too.

In the heath care industry, it doesn't matter what you make, it doesn't matter how good it is, and it doesn't matter how proven it is.

If you don't say the word "Oracle", you don't get the contract.

Source?

Talk to Judy at Epic and you get a different opinion. Actually, talk to almost anybody I've ever met in my 10 years in healthcare and you'd get a different opinion.

There is a similar vibe in the bits of blue-chip eCommerce i worked in (online operations for big bricks-and-mortar retailers). If you'd proposed a site where the database was MySQL, you would have got a funny look and the door held open for you.
