He was like, dude it's Oracle, there are no real competitors for the solution we need, you take their terms or pound sand…I was like ooohhh forgot to look at it that way. Only had to negotiate pricing. It was early in my career.
If you want to see a royal screw in how much Oracle charges customers, take a look at how much it costs to run an Exadata environment. Just to maintenance costs are in the 7 figures per year.
