Hello, and welcome to today's webinar, a journey to high-performance multi-database connectivity. Before we begin, I have a couple of housekeeping slides to show you the webinar control panel and how you can participate. [Operator Instructions] And one final note, we are recording this session, which will be available in the coming days.

So let's start by quickly introducing to you our speakers for today. Today, we are joined by our speakers, Dennis Bennett and Imran Hussain. Dennis has over 20 years of experience in working with companies to help solve their data connectivity challenges. In the past, he's worked as an application developer, DBA and QA engineer. At Progress Software, he is the Principal Sales Engineer for the data direct data connectivity and integration products. Imran is an experienced hands-on software architect involved in the architecture, design and implementation of WinSQL and other software published by Cinematrix. He has been in the software industry for the past 25 years and has significant experience and expertise in application integration and enterprise architecture. Imran has a bachelor's degree in computer and electrical engineering and a minor in economics from Rutgers University.

I'll now turn it over to Imran to start the presentation.

Thank you very much, Rachel. Like Rachel said, my name is Imran, and I am a Senior Manager here at Cinematrix. We have been using DataDirect and WinSQL together for the past, I would say, probably 10 to 15 years. And it's -- the partnership has been great ever since we started, both for our customers because when our customers use WinSQL, the drivers to connect to databases come with it. And therefore, this combination has been very, very good.
