I think this puts a lot of competitive pressure in the marketplace. The first entrant in a market isn't necessarily the ultimate winner. Marc may have created awareness for an interesting market opportunity, but I don't believe this is game over. It has been our intent and will continue to be our intent to take all of our products and services and deliver them in an on-demand form factor.

An SOA is a collection of these services communicating with each other, either through simple passage of data or a coordinated effort to do a task. To get them to communicate, you need Web services. We used to buy a stereo system as a single integrated unit, all hardwired together--the speakers, the receiver, the tuner, and the turntable. Some stereos had a better receiver, while some had a better turntable. One day somebody figured, 'Hey, wouldn't it be great if we could mix and match components' Now the bits and pieces work together, connected by standardized wiring.

Siebel CRM OnDemand was built on Siebel 7.5.2, and the fact is that that product line runs on any database and any application server. We created a partnership with IBM and we chose for that partnership, for obvious reasons, to run it on WebSphere and DB2. There is no technical linkage. We can make a different decision going forward if we choose.

It was said without full knowledge. We have spent time with him Ellison since, to talk about the SOA framework and he has more insight into what it is. We have been able to settle comments about how the architecture is not quite right. He said Siebel's architecture is compatible with the Fusion direction. He will be more specific about the role it will play. He Ellison has a better handle on what Nexus is today than at OpenWorld.

If you want to consume any of the applets or engines that are in the 8.0 product line within an SOA, you can. That sets us up well for the next-generation SCA technology.

I think it would be safe to say that if that ends up being a more cost-effective way of deploying our on-demand applications, we'll pursue it.
