Oracle
Our systems are being developed using Oracle Database 12c Enterprise Edition, I believe we are the first company in Cyprus to utilize this new product. Oracle provide solutions for the largest organizations in the world. Our development team are now official Oracle partners.
Oracle will provide us with some great exposure on an international scale, they will be promoting the fact that Neo & Bee are powered by Oracle, this includes articles in their publications and a success story being published surrounding Neo & Bee.
Oracle? Really? Why would you waste shareholder money on overpriced crap? Because it has "Enterprise" in the name?
Marketing and promotion.
Marketing of what? Their own cluelessness? Why not just download PostgreSQL and spend $47k on advertising?
Caixa Econômica Federal is the second largest bank in Brazil and
uses Postgres.
If I were a shareholder I'd be pretty pissed about them throwing money away like this. I'd much rather my my investment money go towards building the actual company, not buying more fighter jets and Hawaiian islands for Larry Ellison.

So, all of these clueless companies with clueless CEOs just choose to waste their money on overpriced crap because it gives Larry Ellison more money to buy stuff?
Yeah, it's expensive but if you can cut your development time by using expertise and off-the shelf integrations, then the cost can be worth it.
