Inquira, a privately held company in San Francisco, specializes in the creation of Knowledge Management Systems. A Knowledge Management System is a way of storing and creating data within an organization for purposes streamlining business activities, among others reasons. Inquira has mastered the art of designing KM systems for organizations worldwide.
Oracle Corporation, a large company which specializes in designing database management systems and is also located in California, has purchased Inquira at an undisclosed price. One can only imagine that such a purchase must be generating some cash flow.
The purpose of this transaction is to allign similar businesses, who are leaders in their specialities, and design products which can manage knowledge while also using database capabilities. Not only will such a product integrate the two concepts of knowledge management and database use, but the already existing ways in which organizations use each of Oracle and Inquira's products independently from one another will have limitless possibilities in anything they wish to compute. At least, this is what I envision when I think of such a product.
It seems like a great idea for these companies to join up. They both have intelligent employees who are most likely eager to work with one another. Inquira CEO Mike Murphy is excited to join Oracle's team and he offers the same opinion from his employees.
