Red Hat Downgraded, Price Targets Hiked On Salesforce, ServiceNow

The big run in enterprise software stocks still has legs, says a Mizuho Securities analyst, who hiked price targets Monday on a number of stocks in the sector but downgraded Red Hat (RHT). Mizuho's Abhey Lamba elevated prices for Salesforce.com (CRM), ServiceNow (NOW), Splunk (SPLK), and Ultimate Software (ULTI). Lamba hiked Salesforce.com's price target to 160 from 140, ServiceNow to 190 from 160, Splunk to 120 from 110, and Ultimate Software to 270 from 250. But Lamba wasn't so hopeful for Red Hat and brought down his rating to neutral from buy. Red Hat reports fiscal 2018 fourth quarter earnings on March 26. "We expect modest upside to fiscal (fourth-quarter) expectations," Lamba said in a note to clients. He added fiscal 2019's revenue outlook could come in line to modestly above analyst views. Red Hat is ranked No. 17 in the IBD 50 roster of growth stocks, while ServiceNow is ranked No. 9. Red Hat's Linux software runs computer servers in...

BICS Lift and Shift from OBIEE

Recently I led a comprehensive analysis and POC for lift and shift of on-premises 11g to Oracle BI Cloud Service (BICS). The lift and shift approach is gaining popularity as it offers a hybrid BI Cloud without having to worry about data security and recreating metadata in the cloud. BICS can leverage the on-premises repository and databases to give users access to extensive BI Cloud functionality. Comparing pro and cons of lift and shift will help organizations determine the right approach. POC Outcome: BICS offers end users an enhanced analytics experience leveraging the latest Oracle BI platform including Data Visualization and Mashups against their own external data. This hybrid approach of BICS with an on-prem data warehouse lowers infrastructure needs for servers, clustering, patching and upgrades. On-going maintenance is needed for the administration of users and application roles. Oracle’s future strategy is on Cloud for new feature releases and are available aut...
