Don't forget the Oracle OLAP functionality - which started life as Express (bought in 1995 iirc).
Hi, I'm just wondering if you meant Oracle paid 49.5 million for Bharosa instead of what's written which is 495 million. Can you please confirm? Thanks.
Does seem like a copy paste error as the entry above Bharosa is Agile for which it is $ 495 million. You could be right. I have mailed Oracle Acquisitions inquiries to find out. I doubt they will answer with figures. However we can make some educated guesses. Since Bharosa was founded in 2003, it is not likely that their share values could have reached $100 million or above. I don't have Bharosa's turnover numbers also. Possibly your figure of 49.5 million is correct. Where did you get this number ? As there is a doubt on this etnry I am marking it N/A for now.
Hi Nigel,
If I recall correctly, in 1995 Oracle acquired the Express OLAP engine only and didn't acquire the maker Information Resources Inc. My list includes only those acquisitions where the whole company has been bought by Oracle. Thank you for the mention though, it does fall under acquisitions strategy of Oracle which started much before the first acquisition mentioned in my list.

Finally got some numbers from http://www.darkreading.com/document.asp?doc_id=115679:
CEO Fisher says the 50-employee company, which has racked up $2 million in funding, has been profitable for a year. "We're south of $20 million in annual revenue, but certainly north of $5 million," he adds.
Our anonymous source thinks that even if Bharosa gets bought, it is not likely to involve mega-bucks: "It would be a modest valuation –- if they get taken out for $30 million, they would be dancing in the halls."
So it does look like Oracle offered something in $30 - $50 million range instead of $495 million.

Nice figures :)
