Your first question comes from Mark Murphy - Piper Jaffray.

John, a question on the integration business. Were there any unusually large deals in the quarter or perhaps could you talk about the size of the largest deal in the integration business and in the database business?
John E. Farr
Yes. We don’t typically disclose transaction sizes. We have in the past when we have big, sequential changes in our result as we did last quarter. But we normally don’t disclose that, but as you know we certainly don’t rely on million dollar plus kind of transactions. We do have our handful of six-digit kinds of transactions from time to time. And we had a few of those this quarter in both businesses. We have several in the pipeline for next quarter.
And so the transactions of those kinds of sizes are becoming and have been for that matter over the last few years rather consistent from quarter to quarter.

Can you talk about even at a high level Mike’s plan for the Data Rush product line and perhaps any early thoughts on what direction he’ll take?
John E. Farr
You know, I would love to but if I did I’m afraid I’d put him in a corner. And I want him, even though he’s been here two-and-a-half, three weeks, I want him to have full freedom of thought. And we have our thoughts and we want him to start with a clean slate as he has, and I like the thinking that he’s come up with thus far; i.e., he is not constraining himself to our traditional norm. In our normal way of doing things with our Database and Integration business, we’re very horizontally positioned. We are very high volume, low price point.
Mike is considering all possibilities for Data Rush and he does have some early thoughts, but in this first few weeks he has not tested those thoughts with the market. And before they become actionable by a marketing or sales team, they need to be tested with the market. So Mark we will have much, much more to say in the call in April and much more confidence in saying that to the investing public, because we will have in fact started acting.
We are developing the launch plan today for the general release of Data Rush and it’s in a matter of months before we will have that GA.
