In 1976, the legendary American country music singer and songwriter Johnny Cash released his hit, “One Piece at a Time.” In the song, a Detroit autoworker builds a car in his garage over 25 years by taking home a different car part every few days. When he finishes, the title and license plate clerk asks for the model year and he answers: It's a '49, '50, '51, '52, '53, '54, '55, '56, '57, '58 '59, '60, '61, '62, '63, '64, '65, '66, '67, '68, '69, '70 automobile.

By Stacey Gaasch, Director, Oracle Event Marketing When you think of “Oracle,” what’s the first description that pops into your head? Big? Gigantic? Behemoth? Well, yes, those descriptors are accurate. Oracle has 420,000 customers in 145 countries. I’ll admit, that’s pretty darn big. Of those 420,000 customers, how many do you suppose are small to medium-sized businesses? 5,000? 10,000? The answer will probably shock you. It’s 315,000. No, that’s not a typo. 75 percent of...
