Oracle announced their intention to buy ATG about a week ago. For a while now we’ve seen legacy ATG sites converting to content management, portal and other commerce systems. We still find plenty of admins saying you will have pry that software from their hands. We also find plenty of users needing to upgrade as their needs change.
I also find it interesting that Oracle bought ATG in what is billed as a commerce play while it was only months ago that IBM bought Sterling Commerce. They aren’t exactly related as Sterling fits a different niche and ATG technology serves more than just commerce sites.
Personally, I’ll be interested to see how much survives after a couple years…….
