I'm no expert in this. But Siebel was only founded in 1993. And Tom
Siebel is an ex Oracle exec. In 1993 the mainframe was proclaimed dead
already by the street.
Do you have any data to back up the claim that Siebel's premier
development platform and internal systems ran first DB2 mainframe?
Fact is that when Oracle started competing with their apps vendors those
vendors try as best as they can to distance themselves from Oracle.
Siebel itself now runs it's Siebel on DB2 and IBM runs Siebel on DB2.
I don't know how far along Siebel is converting it's development
platform from Oracle to DB2.
