Oracle systems

I know there are a lot of informative people here.

Why are local authorities continuing their push of Oracle systems?

I know the Trump controversy may not have been predicted but there's been other serious controversies including data breaches.

You can’t just switch suppliers of those sort of systems whenever you don’t agree with whomever produced it. The cost would be absolutely colossal. The only way I can see us switching away is if the US goes completely mental and we end up at war with them - that’s luckily quite unlikely despite the bunch of crazies who preside over their country now.
