In addition, Oracle's open architecture and multiple operating-system optionsgives our customers unmatched benefits from industry-leading products, includingexcellent system availability, scalability, energy efficiency, powerful performance,and low total cost of ownership.

Ellison took inspiration from the 1970 paper written by Edgar F. Codd on

relational database management systems (RDBMS) named "A Relational Model of

Data for Large Shared Data Banks. He had heard about the IBM System R

database from an article in the IBM Research Journalprovided by Ed Oates (a

future co-founder of Oracle Corporation). System R also derived from Codd's

theories, and Ellison wanted to make his Oracle product compatible with System

R, but IBM stopped this by keeping the error codes for their DBMS secret.

Ellison co-founded Oracle Corporation in 1977 under the name Software

Development Laboratories (SDL). In 1979 SDL changed its name to Relational

Software, Inc. (RSI). In 1982, RSI renamed itself as Oracle Systems to align itself

more closely with its flagship product Oracle Database. At this stage Robert Miner

served as the company's senior programmer.

Part of Oracle Corporation's early success arose from using the C programminglanguage to implement its products. This eased porting to different operating

systems (most of which support C). This gave Oracle Corporation an advantageover companiesthat used operating-system-specific languages. Oracle Corporation

programmers wrote the first C compiler for the IBM mainframe platform in orderto port to that platform

HISTORYInnovation, Leadership, Results

More than three decades ago Larry Ellison saw an opportunity other companies

missed: a description of a working prototype for a relational database. No

company had committed to commercializing the technology, but Ellison and co-

founders Bob Miner and Ed Oates realized the tremendous business potential of

the relational database modelbut they may not have realized that the company

they formed would change the face of business computing forever.

Throughout its history Oracle has proved it can build for the future on the

foundation of its innovations and, its intimate knowledge of customer challenges

and successes analyzed by the best technical and business minds in the world.


4/32

The company has leveraged its immense size and strength to serve its customers,

and to implement key technology and business decisions that upend conventional

wisdom and take its products and services in new directions.

Today Oracle is the gold standard for database technology and applications inenterprises throughout the worldthe company is the world's leading supplier of

information management software and the world's second largest independent

software company. The acquisition of Sun gives Oracle a leadership role in the

hardware arena as well.

Now more than ever before Oracle technology can be found in nearly every

industry, and in the data centers of 100 of the Fortune Global 100 companies.

Oracle is the first software company to develop and deploy 100 percent internet-enabled enterprise software across its entire product line: database, business

applications, application development, and decision support tools.

Innovation is the engine of Oracle's success. Oracle was one of the first companies

to make its business applications available through the internetan idea that is

now pervasive. Oracle has introduced newOracle Fusion Middlewareproducts

and functionality that reflect the company's goal to connect all levels of

enterprise technology, ensuring customers access to the knowledge they need torespond to market conditions with speed and agility.

Before the acquisition of Sun was final, Oracle and Sun introduced theSun Oracle

Database Machine, the world's fastest machine for any type of database

workload. Today,Sun servers and storage, Oracle Real Application Clusters,

Oracle Applications, Oracle Grid Computing, support for enterprise Linux, and

Oracle Fusion, all fuel a commitment to innovation and results that has defined

Oracle for thirty years.

What does Oracle have in store for tomorrow? Our goal is to become #1 in

middleware and #1 in applications, just as we have in database. And we will

ORACLE INDIA

The Oracle In India story

Oracle established its Indian subsidiary in August 1993 with less than ten people.Shortly afterwards, in 1994, it became the first major US software company toestablish an India Development Center in Bangalore to support its productdevelopment strategy for global markets.

Today, Oracle is one of the largest multi-national software employers in India.Oracle India has grown to over 3700 employees across the country with atechnology network which has hundreds of thousands of Indian softwaredevelopers as part of its community, besides significant sales and marketingoperations, product development, global support and consulting, and internal BPOservices.

The Bangalore and Hyderabad Development Centers have the finest professionals


17/32

working in a world-class environment and creating best-in-class products forOracle's global customers. Oracle further reinforced its India commitment recentlywhen it announced a three-fold expansion in physical space at Bangalore andHyderabad Centers, in line with its plans to increase its workforce to 4,000 in thenear future. It has recently acquired land in Hyderabad, to create a world-classcampus, having over half a million square feet of office space.

Currently, the Oracle Technology Park in Bangalore, is hosting three major Oracledivisions: Oracle's India Development Center (IDC), the company's InternationalSupport Center (ISC) and Oracle Solution Services India (OSSI). The threedivisions comprise a 'Center of Excellence' supporting the company's globaloperations. India is the only country to have three different business units of thissize and scope outside of the company's main headquarters in Redwood Shores,California.

In The Beginning

More than fifteen years ago, before India became recognized as the dynamic forcein information technology that is known to be today, Oracle was one of the firstmultinational software companies to set up operations in India. Beginning with adistributorship through Tata Consultancy Services in 1987, the companyestablished direct operations with a liaison office in 1991, and in 1993 formedOracle India Private Ltd., a whollyowned subsidiary of Oracle Corp., focused onthe sales and marketing of Oracle software in India. In recognition of thesignificant pool of highly educated software development engineers based in India,Oracle opened its India Development Center (IDC) in Bangalore in 1994. This

early commitment to the country marked Oracles vision for India as both adomestic market and a center for research and development. The company becamethe first multinational company to establish core software development operationsin India to support its global product development strategy and to address the needsof the local market. Initially, the India Development Center took on developmentwork on a project basis for different development divisions as determined by thecompanys headquarters in Redwood Shores, California. As word spread


18/32

throughout the company of the India teams record delivery time of development

projects that met the highest standards of quality, the IDC was tasked with morestrategic projects and increasingly demanding requirements. Today Oracle has itsIndia Development Centre located at Bangalore and Hyderabad and sales andmarketing offices across six Indian cities.

A Turning Point

In 1996, the India development team was challenged with taking on a strategicresearch and development project. Ultimately the teams success on the project

would propel the IDC into the development spotlight at Oracle. The India teamwas given three months to develop the first version of what would become the

basis of Oracles Internet computing technology, driving the shift to simplified,lowcost computing machines which could access information stored on larger,professionally managed servers. With no additional resources, the IDC, havingbeen asked only to show version one of the technology, delivered instead asecondgeneration version three months to the day from the start of the project.Concurrently, the team also met all deadlines and quality standards for the other 16

projects with which the IDC was tasked with at that time. The worldclassdevelopment abilities of the India development team were impressed upon thehighest levels of the company, garnering praise and recognition from Oraclefounder and CEO, Larry Ellison. This became a turning point for the India

organization, transforming the India Development Center into a growth engine,integral to the future and vision of the worlds largest enterprise software company.From that point forward the India Development Center was integrated intoOracles global software development organization, working on the latest

technology for Oracle customers around the world. At the same time, Oracles

increasing success in the country established the company as the dominantprovider of database and enterprise software to the government and corporatesectors in India.

India Development CenterCritical To A Global Team

Today, the combined resources of the India Development Center in Bangalore andHyderabad contribute to core software development across the entire Oracle


19/32

product family, including Oracle Database 10g, Oracle Application Server 10g,Oracle Collaboration Suite and Oracle EBusiness Suite. The work carried out inIndia includes new product design, development, technology and featureenhancements, quality engineering, documentation, curriculum for instructorledand online training, integration, as well as support and maintenance of existing

products. The IDC has made major contributions to the research and developmentof key focus areas for the company including the future of grid computing,technology and applications deployment on Linux, security, Java applicationdevelopment, XML, and Warehouse Management Systems, to name a few. TheIDC also contributes significantly to Oracles online developer community, Oracle

Technology Network, showcasing new technology, best practices, sampleapplications, discussion forums, white papers and through participation in globalevents.

Transformation to a Global Organization

In addition to providing software development for the entire Oracle product familyfor Indian and global markets, Oracle India has become host to a number of otherfunctions critical to Oracles operations as a global company. Through the six

facilities of Oracle India Private Ltd., headed out of Gurgaon near New Delhi, thecompany offers sales, marketing, consulting, education and support to localcustomers. Additionally, Oracle India hosts a number of global operations that

make it possible for the company to conduct 24 by 7 consulting, finance andadministration, support and sales operations, in addition to software development.Oracle India represents the only organization outside Oracles headquarters inCalifornia to represent so many divisions and lines of business, effectivelymirroring Oracles global operations.

Oracles Fourth Largest Market A Jewel in Oracles Crown

Since coming to India, Oracle has played a key role in shaping the informationtechnology industry inside the country and has established a footprint unmatchedby most of its multinational competitors. Today, India is Oracles fourth largestmarket in Asia Pacific in terms of revenue, up from tenth a few years ago, and

boasts the largest research and development investment outside the U.S.


20/32

Oracle continues to build a strong domestic business in India, engaging in salesand marketing of Oracle software and services including consulting, education andsupport of all Oracle products. With offices in Bangalore, Kolkata, Chennai,Hyderabad, Mumbai and Gurgaon and 17 growth cities, Oracle India operates inall 28 states and works with leading companies in the telecommunications,

banking, insurance, manufacturing and utilities industries, in both the governmentand private sectors. The Oracle Database 10g supports transactions and interfacesin 13 major Indian languages including Assamese, Bengali, Gujarati, Hindi,Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Oriya, Punjabi, Telugu and Tamil.

Oracle currently has 6000 technology and over 600 applications customers inIndia, and counts some of the most important government and privateorganizations amongst those using Oracle software and services to reduce costs,increase productivity and innovate business operations. Oracle is also committed to

the Indian market through its extensive network of more than 200 channel andalliance partners who are part of Oracle PartnerNetwork. These include companiessuch as iFlex., Infosys, Satyam, Sonata, Tata Consultancy Services and Wipro.

India holds great promise as a domestic market for Oracle software solutions. Themidmarket segment makes up 40 percent of Oracles current customer base inIndia. Oracle expects small, local companies in the region to drive the futuregrowth of Oracles business. As Indian companies seek to expand their businesses

to new markets in and outside of India, they will need to invest in informationtechnology, including databases, ebusiness technologies and applications that

provide real business valuethe core competency of Oracle.

To address this opportunity, Oracle has charted an aggressive growth plan torapidly expand its presence in India. Known as the "Emerald India" initiative, the

plan is intended to fully leverage the potential of the highly skilled Indianworkforce to take advantage of new opportunities in a variety of industries. Fromthis commitment to and investment in the Indian market, the company expects todramatically grow its domestic business while contributing further to the

burgeoning Indian economy and the advancement of the information technology

industry.

Oracles commitment to India is reflected in its USD 2 billion investment in five

years since year 2001. This includes a large investment in iflex Solutions, theIndiabased global software leader in core banking solutions. Oracle ownsmajority stake in iflex Solutions.

Oracle: An Ideal EGovernance Partner

Oracles association with governments goes back to 1977, at the inception of the

company and its work for the U.S. government, the companys first client. Today,Oracle is involved with more than 2000 Government projects around the world andover 100 such projects in India. Oracle India works to help government create acomplete architecture for EGovernance. Partnering with government bodies,Oracle assists governments in creating citizen relationship management services,transforming government workers into knowledge workers through employeemanagement services, and simplifying business interaction while reducing coststhrough process automation. Through various EGovernance initiatives at thecentral and state levels, Oracle is helping to move India forward into the modern

economy by streamlining government bureaucracy and helping to develop newbusiness models to better serve Indias citizens.

Ready for the future

Oracles continuing partnership and growth plans in India are indicative of its

ongoing commitment to the country, not only enhancing the companys ability to

operate as a worldclass global organization, but also benefiting employees,

customers and the market in India. Along with China, India represents one of the

two key thriving economies and large domestic markets expected to fuel Oracles

growth in the Asia Pacific region. The company continuously adds value to theIndian infrastructure, economy and community through its aggressive growth

plans and its involvement in the development of people and businesses in India.

ORACLES CULTURE & VALUES

Best Business Practices

Simplify Standardize Automate

Oracle's business is informationhow to manage it, use it, share it, protect it. Fornearly three decades, Oracle, the world's largest enterprise software company,

has

provided the software and services that let organizations get the most up-to-date

and accurate information from their business systems.

Oracle is an extremely exciting place to work. Here are some words and phrases

that we think best describe our culture.

Entrepreneurial - Some people refer to Oracle as a multi-billion dollar start up

because we have the entrepreneurial spirit of a small company.

Fast Paced - Things happen very quickly here. We have to be fast if we are to stay

ahead of the competition. This makes for a dynamic, exciting work environment

that can be challenging at times.

Oracle Language - Youll find that we have a prolific habit of applying an acronym

to everything. We usually dont even realize were doing it. If anyone uses an

acronym today, and you dont know what it means, please ASK. A list of

Acronyms can be found off the Sales Readiness Portal.

E-mail and Conference Calls As a global company, much of our internal business

communication is done via e-mail and Web Conference calls. Some of your team

members or perhaps your Manager, will be located off-site, or in another country.

It is important that you learn quickly how to access your emails remotely, and

how to use Oracles Meeting Place and Web conferencing applications (refer

Self Service Driven - Oracles applications are designed so that individual

employees can action many day to day administrative requirements by

themselves (such as expenses, procurement, down loading software etc.) Todays

sessions will provide you with many tips about using these applications.

The Web - The Web plays an enormous role in our day-to-day activities. Nearly all

the information at Oracle is on the web in some form. Throughout this material

you will find URLs that will take you to the website portals we discuss.

Our Multi-Cultural Workplace

On a regular basis, employees at Oracle communicate with colleagues or
