EXHIBIT 23.5
The Board of Directors
DDi Corp.:
We consent to the use of our report dated August 18, 2000 with respect to
the consolidated balance sheet of Automata International, Inc. and subsidiaries
as of October 2, 1999 and the related consolidated statements of operations and
comprehensive income (loss), changes in stockholders' equity (deficit) and cash
flows for the year then ended, which report appears in the registration
statement on Form S-1 of DDi Corp. dated October 10, 2000, and to the reference
to our firm under the heading "Experts" in the prospectus.
Our report dated August 18, 2000 contains an explanatory paragraph that
states the Company has filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11
of the United States Bankruptcy Code. The uncertainties inherent in the
Bankruptcy process raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to
continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements do not
include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these
uncertainties.
