• The Siebel roadmap is paved with Oracle technology • Oracle Fusion Middleware and Oracle Engineered Systems = LOCKIN* • Time between Siebel releases increasing to allow technology
replacement.** • CRM 8.1.x – November 2008 (9 Months) • CRM 8.2.x – November 2011 (36 Months) • CRM 8.3.x – 2015? (48 Months?)

Perception versus Reality
Perception: • New features and functions and enhancements • Improved user experience Reality: • Enhancements are nice to haves with no meaningful ROI • Improved user experience requires adoption of Oracle Fusion
Middleware components • Significant endeavor to implement
