Hold the bells and whistles, just give us stability! Computerworld reports that users of Oracle Applications are getting fed up with product instability and weak support. As one consultant says, "a lot of users would be willing do without the functionality if the suite could be more stable." Anyone who has been around enterprise software in the past decade knows that Oracle is far from alone in the tendency to sacrifice stability and reliability in the rush to push new features out the door. And this won't change until more buyers start making the vendors' track record in software quality a top criterion in the selection decision.
