Acknowledgments

I thank my husband, Tim Gorman, the best partner anyone could ask for and the Oracle community for their continued support and quest for knowledge.

My wife, Katie, brings order to my life, and my two children, Isaac and Adalyn, share their immeasurable joy with me every day. I’d like to thank the Oracle community for their amazing capacity to always make me want to be a better technologist.

My wife, Valerie, makes my life better every day. Her encouragement for this project was essential to its completion. I’d also like to thank the tremendous Oracle employees responsible for making OEM the fine tool that it is. Werner De Gruyter, Ana McCollum, Adeesh Fulay, and Maureen Byrne have all shown a genuine interest in improving OEM through user feedback and understanding. Their insights brought all of this into focus.
