In my experience the top DB platforms are Microsoft and Oracle. I have come to learn that MySQL is trusted in start-up companies and DB people who know this platform could make higher salaries, but I honestly rarely ever encountered MySQL in job searches.

One reason I like MS SQL Server is because it also includes the SSRS BI platform which is powerful and popular. DB folks who know SSRS (SQL Server Reporting Services) have become very sought-after candidates in many companies. In most cases, companies end up needing to buy licenses for third-party BI (Business Intelligence) applications that may cost a lot of extra money.

With SQL Server, BI and ETL (extract, transform, load) tools come with the initial license. I understand that maybe the interest in databases is mainly to understand DB construction, however you can't predict when or if you branch out and find out more.

The theme require a lot of customization to make it usable for real world applications, and support the basic workflows for ticketing support systems, however I think it's a great platform that you can build on and customize easily.

Both of these large investments coming in within the same week are a sign that venture capitalists have figured out something that most businesses still have not. They know that more and more of the economy is moving to a “services” model and the ability to offer diversified, on-demand billing solutions is critical to the future of E-commerce.

The companies that will excel in the near future are the companies that are first to embrace the evolving demands of modern consumers. Customers are no longer content to settle for “one size fits all” products. The modern consumer wants, if not demands, to dictate their online purchases to buy only what they need and not what they don’t.

Take the rise of car share services such as Car2Go. Due to fiscal restraints and higher expectations in customized services, modern customers are choosing to pay for a car only when they need it.
