on the Microsoft platform. Microsoft's goal for this work is to help customers
protect and optimize their investments in Oracle and Microsoft products. Quest
is seeking feedback from users to help in that effort, and your responses are
important to focusing Microsoft's work in the coming months. Survey results

Voice
your feedback: Localization survey. Quest is assisting Oracle to
assess your satisfaction with the software localizations offered by Oracle
today. Localizations are changes or additions to the existing product that are
designed to meet a specific country requirement, for example, unique tax
regulations. Oracle is also looking for companies in countries that require
localizations and will need customers to assist in their development. This
survey will be live by the end of this week, and will take less than five
minutes to complete. Your input could play an important role in improving
applications for your company. For more information, contact viki.young@questdirect.org.
