You mentioned the Master certification. How is that title doing so far?

DiIanni: It’s actually going quite well. By the end of this calendar year, we will have rolled it out in five countries globally. We will be conducting events in Dusseldorf, Germany; Redding in the U.K, and Chicago. We have been conducting events in Chicago now for over a year. [And] Hong Kong and Seoul are now live.

Are you looking at adding any other locations in the future?

DiIanni: Yes. We are [currently] adding Japan. And then I am considering the March-April-May timeframe to look at some other sites. We haven’t defined them yet.

How many people have become Oracle Certified Masters so far?

DiIanni: Right now we have about 62 Oracle Certified Masters.

Is that the growth rate you were looking for?

DiIanni: Yes. I am looking at having 150 OCMs by the end of this fiscal year, which will be May 31, 2004.
