Major Events of 2003
 

2003 was a big year for KeepTool, marked by the introduction of KeepTool 6.0. To increase awareness of our products, we brought out our quarterly newsletter, and more recently, the KeepTool Forums, our bulletin board for the user community.

It was also the first year that KeepTool attended four major Oracle events, in the U.S., France and Germany. April saw our first attendance at IOUG Live!, held in Orlando, Florida. We went back to OracleWorld in San Francisco, where we rolled out KeepTool 6.0 to accompany Oracle 10G, then did the same at OracleWorld Paris. In November we returned to the DOAG, the German Oracle Users Group annual event in Mannheim.

IOUG Live! Orlando (28 - 30 April 2003)
After a long, hard winter, KeepTool's Reiner Dieg and Kerstin Becker spent three beautiful days at Walt Disney World, where we met a lot of new people, thanks to our excellent location just off the main entrance. This was also the first major event where we used our new show display, on which we received a lot of compliments.

OracleWorld San Francisco (7 - 11 September 2003)  
Thousands of Oracle professionals again gathered at San Francisco's Moscone Center, this time during the last days of summer. Both Oracle 10G and KeepTool 6.0 were on display for the first time. KeepTool's Jan Dieckmann and Reiner Dieg passed out hundreds of CD's, and awarded an Apple Ipod to one lucky winner. used by permission of Photodisc

As OracleWorld moved to Europe, Hartmut Schuster, our newest staff member, presented KeepTool 6.0 to hundreds of European Oracle professionals at Paris' CNIT Center in English, French and German.
