Forget Hawaiian Islands, ski houses in Aspen and geeked out yachts, this year Oracle CEO CTO Larry Ellison is buying himself a data-tracking firm for Christmas.
This morning Oracle announced its intent to acquire Datalogix, a “Data-as-a-Service” analytics provider that helps brands glean insights on customer purchasing patterns. Datalogix’s unique value proposition to the market is that it can help brands determine if ad clickers actually ever walk into stores to purchase the goods they’ve shown interest in.
Though the amount of the acquisition is unknown, earlier this month AdExchanger reported that Datalogix was shopping itself around for as much as $1 billion. It was rumored, at that time, that Nielsen, Adobe and even Facebook were kicking its tires.
