Subject: Oracle Data Mining Consultants Partnership Program, Feb 7-8, 2007 in Burlington, MA

You and your colleagues are invited to participate in a 2 day hands-on session designed for data mining consultants here in the Oracle Burlington MA office February 7 & 8, 2007. Space is limited, so please RSVP asap.

The Oracle Data Mining Consultants Partnership Program has been established to develop a support network of skilled data mining consultants. As part of this program, we're looking to promote knowledgeable, skilled data mining experts who can leverage Oracle's in-database functionality. Consultants that demonstrate proficiency in Oracle Data Mining and working in Oracle-centric environments will be promoted within Oracle Sales via eSeminars, web directories, user organizations, and face to face meetings.

Assuming that you already know how to "mine" data, the objective of the 2 day training would be to get you comfortable using Oracle Data Mining. We also want to stress deployment, SQL and Java APIs, Predictive Analytics (one-click data mining PL/SQL packages), text mining & Oracle's in-database statistical functions.
