OAKLAND, Calif. — A battle between two of the world’s biggest makers of business software hinges on the value of a trove of millions of stolen customer-support documents.
In its first pitch to a federal jury Tuesday, Oracle Corp. said archrival SAP AG’s plundering of password-protected Oracle websites dealt a $2 billion blow to Oracle’s business.
Oracle said an SAP subsidiary, TomorrowNow, created bogus accounts to get access to walled-off Oracle websites.
SAP has admitted that the now-shuttered subsidiary secretly siphoned off instruction manuals and technical specifications for Oracle’s software. But SAP argues that Oracle’s claims of injury are exaggerated.
