3 Presenters Bios Jackie Burhans Responsible for Partner Enablement, Product Management, Training and Education Joined Unidata in 1992 Previously worked at USC with Prime Information Over 25 years of experience in computing Degree in Business Administration and Decision Systems from USC John Nunziato Specializes in performance tuning and migrations to Rocket U2 databases Holds two Ph.Ds. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from Lehigh and LaSalle Universities Distinguished member of technical staff at AT&T Bell Laboratories Worked with many UNIX platforms Worked with nineteen (19) different flavors of the PICK database 3

4 Webinar Origins Talked to people interested in migrating...many hadn t looked at Rocket U2 databases in a long time Looked at adoption rates found a fair number of customers on older releases These statements represent Rocket Software s current intentions. Rocket development plans are subject to change or withdrawal without further notice. Any reliance on these statements is at the relying party s sole risk and will not create any liability or obligation for Rocket 4
