Paperback

Description

In a business where great risks, huge fortunes, and even bigger egos are common, Larry Ellison stands out as one of the most outspoken, driven, and daring leaders of the software industry.

The company he cofounded and runs, Oracle, is the number one business software company.

Perhaps even more than Microsoft's, Oracle's products are essential to today's networked world. In "Softwar, " journalist Matthew Symonds gives readers exclusive and intimate insight into both Oracle and the man who made it and runs it.

As well as relating the story of Oracle's often bumpy path to industry dominance, Symonds deals with the private side of Ellison's life.

With unlimited insider access granted by Ellison himself, Symonds captures the intensity and, some would say, the recklessness that have made Ellison a legend. With a new and expanded epilogue for the paperback edition that tells the story behind Oracle's epic struggle to win control of PeopleSoft, "Softwar" is the most complete portrait undertaken of the man and his empire -- a unique and gripping account of both the way the computing industry really works and an extraordinary life.
