How Sybase Can Save Itself



If I were running Sybase, I would call Joe Kozak over at ANTs Software, and ask to meet for lunch--somewhere between my office in Dublin, CA and his in Burlingame. Of course, I don't work for either company, but the meeting would surely be an interesting one between John Chen and Kozak.

Before meeting with Kozak, (who heads this database compatibility firm with technology that could cause Sybase much pain--and Oracle much gain), Chen might want to figure out a way he could pay convince agnostic ANTS to tweak their proprietary software to migrate client databases from Oracle (or IBM or Microsoft) to Sybase--asap.

If the chiefs at Sybase haven't seen this morning's press release from ANTs this morning, they might want to do so--and make that call to ANTs right away.

Roberta, I think the chiefs have already powwowed per the news release on May 7th;"Sybase, a provider of enterprise infrastructure and mobile software and services, has joined hands with ANTs software, a provider of compatible SQL data management systems. Under this partnership, Sybase and ANTs Software plan to work together to develop a version of the ANTs Compatibility Server (ACS)."

Maybe a hurry up mode should be instituted at Sybase. Seems like time is not on their side.
