Oracle Corp. Co-President Safra Catz testified that the company’s agreement with Hewlett-Packard Co. didn’t require it to continue making software that was compatible with Intel Corp.’s Itanium chip.
Catz today described to a state court judge in San Jose, California, a September 2010 phone conversation with Ann Livermore, who was then a Hewlett-Packard vice president, as they drafted the terms of a settlement agreement over Mark Hurd’s transition from chief executive officer at the world’s largest personal computer maker to co-president at Oracle.
