Hardware Sales Management
Pros: The opportunity or application engineered hardware platforms is compelling. It will ease implementation for customers and improve ROI
Cons: Lack of teamwork and collaboration. Every sales reps or solutions group is out for themselves. There appears to be a lack of focus on customer requirements. This hurts customer satisfaction.

Limited focus on cloud enabled solutions. Oracle's hardware portfolio, ExaData excluded, continues to fall 15-20% quarter over quarter. No career path for hardware-focused employees.
