In a recent announcement, the software giant Oracle Corporation agreed to acquire NetSuite Inc. Oracle is acquiring NetSuite as an effort to boost its cloud solutions offering. The transaction is expected to be valued at $9.3 billion, or $109.00 per share. The NetSuite Board of Directors approved the transaction. The decision is based upon a unanimous recommendation from a transaction committee made up of independent directors.

Annette Manias, President, Oasis Solutions said "Oasis is excited for this new opportunity with NetSuite and Oracle as we expect the collaboration to further enhance the power of the platform. This is a natural partnership that allows Oracle to leverage the NetSuite brand technology to their client base. Oasis envisions the addition of new functionality in the already robust NetSuite platform."


"Oracle and NetSuite cloud applications are complementary, and will co-exist in the marketplace forever," said Mark Hurd Chief Executive Officer, Oracle. "We intend to invest heavily in both products - engineering and distribution."


Zach Nelson, Chief Executive Officer, NetSuite said, "NetSuite will benefit from Oracle's global scale and reach to accelerate the availability of our cloud solutions in more industries and more countries." Zach points out that, "Oracle is committed to protecting and enhancing customer investments in NetSuite solutions."


In an article by Alex Konrad, Forbes' Staff writer for venture capital, startups and enterprise tech, state "The deal, which values NetSuite at $109 per share at a 19% premium to where it traded a day before, represents the inevitable conclussion for a company that sought to strike out from its origins and a parent trying to catch up to its business offspring."


"The NetSuite deal is at the heart of Oracle's fight to remake itself for the modern world of cloud computing, or providing access to vast computational resources over the internet," according to a recent NYTimes article about the acquisition.


Pending regulatory approvals and agreement by a majority of NetSuite shareholders, not owned by executives officers or directors of NetSuite, this transaction is expected to close in 2016.
