"The G-Log acquisition is a smart move for Oracle and lays the groundwork for the company to take a more active leadership role in integrated supply chain processes. G-Log's TMS product is a functionally rich solution and one of the few on the market that supports both domestic and international transportation across multiple industries."

  —Beth Enslow, Vice President, Enterprise Research, Aberdeen Group, "Oracle to Add Transportation Management with Acquisition of G-Log," September 20, 2005.

"Manufacturing Insights believes that this acquisition of G-Log, coupled with the previous acquisitions of both Retek and ProfitLogic, provides further evidence that Oracle is serious in its intent to provide deeper supply chain and logistics functionality, and Oracle customers should reap the benefits."

  —Robert Ferrari, Supply Chain Services Program Director, Manufacturing Insights, An IDC Company, "Theory and Practice, September 26, 2005: Supply Chain Highlights from Oracle Open World 2005."

"Oracle's market share in TMS climbs significantly as a result of this acquisition, making it the number two player worldwide in Transportation Planning and Execution, ahead of its arch-rival SAP.  Oracle also gains a strong presence in the Logistics Service Provider market, an important segment of TMS users where it lagged both SAP and SSA Global.  For G-Log, the company now has more resources at its disposal to penetrate new vertical industries."

  —Adrian Gonzalez, Director, Logistics Executive Council, ARC Advisory Group, ARCWire News, September 20, 2005.

"With this acquisition, SAP and i2 Technologies find themselves under increasing pressure in the SCM market. For Oracle and G-Log, it's a hugely strategic move. G-Log has a strong legacy in transportation management with a leading research and development staff in global TMS, but TMS remains a small, if not important, niche market. While G-Log has 44 customers, with a strong presence in Europe, The Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) and Asia, it's tough to make it in today's market as a small vendor, and as part of Oracle it's assured survival. For Oracle, this is a strong entry into Supply Chain Execution (SCE)."
