From the front of the Oracle Siebel CRM classroom

  This month I celebrate one decade working with Oracle Siebel CRM applications.  When I contemplated sending my resume (CV) to Siebel Systems, I wondered, why the industry so heavily favored this product and company.  At the time I directed sales related information system initiatives for a global hardware manufacturer.  I regularly evaluated products in the Sales Force Automation market as part of my job.   Many vendors demonstrated applications that looked good but never seemed to get implemented.  I remember a few vendor references that admitted to having bought products but latter found they could not afford the implementation and maintenance costs, and the product just sat in its box.
