Such companies deliver applications to clients over the Internet. Salesforce.com is the largest purely cloud computing software vendor, and it has long championed the cloud approach, also called software as a service. This approach can enable clients to cut down on the number of servers they need to buy and manage on site, while also cutting their software costs. But Salesforce derives a chunk of its revenue from annual or multiyear deals with larger corporate customers, says Ray Wang, an analyst at Altimeter Group. "Even Salesforce has annual contracts, not pay as you go per month," he said

Over the next several years, the project will replace many of 3M's legacy applications, according to a statement. Some of those are almost certainly Oracle, as 3M is a long time PeopleSoft shop. A 3M spokeswoman didn't immediately respond to requests for additional comment. In a prepared statement, 3M CIO Ernie Park said the project will help the company unify its core business processes around the world. SAP would not reveal the price tag on the pact, but it is likely worth up to US$35 million in license revenue alone, with that figure assuming a substantial discount off list price, said Altimeter Group analyst Ray Wang, a veteran software contract negotiator.

Therefore, the question is this: Should Oracle have a legal beef with those partners as well, since they offer a service based upon a business model that Oracle considers illegal? And, just as important, is this question: If Oracle keeps pursuing litigation in the third party support arena, might that discourage other potential service providers from jumping in and creating more competition, which also means less choice for its customers and more reasons to stick with Oracle? "This is a gray area," says Ray Wang, partner for enterprise strategy at Altimeter Group
