Before we move on, it's important to look back. From the

very beginning we had a very clear, single-minded view

of the future of infrastructure and asset management.

So, in order to pursue our vision, we seized the opportunity

of an organizational buy-out from Oracle, the world's largest

enterprise software company. Then we began building a

business with people who shared our view of things to come.

Now we are global leaders in our field. Looking back along

the significant milestones you may share the popular belief

that we were far sighted. This timeline can be summarized,

we hope, in one line: Being ahead by seeing ahead.
