One of the last to the platform at the Montgomery Securities investment conference in San Francisco last week was Oracle Systems Corp chief financial officer Jeffrey Henley, who revealed an ambitious plan to increase the company’s revenue growth rate this year over the already fearsome 28% growth rate achieved in fiscal 1993. After a strong first quarter, Henley was optimistic growth would continue strong as its Oracle7 database continues to sell well and the company implements further operational improvements. We really made tremendous operational improvements, Henley said, but he believes the company has further steps to take. Rather than running on all eight cylinders, we are on seven still. Among improvements, Oracle is aiming to bring its new technology to market much faster than in the past in order to keep up with competitors.
