Page 2 of 2

The deal will no doubt help salesforce.com, inc. (NYSE:CRM).  You see, Salesforce.com has the same problem as Workday Inc (NYSE:WDAY) in terms of negative profits and equity return.  This would indicate that Salesforce.com is not currently a great company on its own, but because of this deal, there still could be a turnaround.

Foolish final thoughts

Ultimately, Oracle needs to deliver on its promises for it to still be a buy and companies like Salesforce.com and Workday Inc (NYSE:WDAY) need a company like Oracle to reach their potential.  It would be like Grandpa making peace with his grandson and his gadgets.
