To All: This article should be brought to Pinhead Jackson's attention: Mark Jarvis Blueprints Oracle's eBusiness Strategy; Part One of His <ORCL.O> Mark Jarvis Blueprints Oracle's eBusiness Strategy; Part One of His Interview With IT Radio Network LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 2, 2000--In a recent interview with the newly launched audio Webzine IT Radio Network, listeners are treated to an exclusive interview with Mark Jarvis, Sr. VP Worldwide Marketing for Oracle Corp. (Nasdaq:ORCL). "We may not be in the information age as much as we are in the age of data," said show host Marc Holland, "and that data is the driving force behind the new economy. And the company driving the data is Oracle." "Data is useless unless it has value," said Jarvis. "That's where data becomes information. We are entering the information age, and for the first time in the history of computing, people can actually use very simple devices to run their business more efficiently. Today, we have 40% market share of the worldwide information management market." Oracle owns not only a major part of the information management market, but also has a choke hold on the Internet software market. "The 10 most successful eCommerce companies, 93% of the public dot-coms that trade on Nasdaq, the top 10 telcos, the top 10 pharmaceutical companies, the top 10 airlines ... every single one of them use Oracle to power their Web sites," said Jarvis. "This means that we have more market share on the Internet than Microsoft (Nasdaq:MSFT) has on the desktop." JFD
