Introduction
One of the challenges facing the IT departments of many
organizations today is who pays for the operational support of the
SQL Server databases that are used by the business? Organizations
are continually introducing new applications that assist in
improving and streamlining business processes. It was not that long
ago that an office looked very similar to a classroom with long
rows of desks and on each desk there was an in-tray and also an
out-tray. Documents would move along the row of desks from one
person's out-tray to another person's in-tray. These manual
business processes and workflows have now been replaced with
line-of-business applications such as CRM, ERP and HR systems.Which
each new application that is adopted there is a corresponding
database that also needs to be managed. Hence IT departments
continually have to increase the number of databases that they
support without having an easy way to recover the costs associated
with this additional management. In other words IT departments are
continually being asked to do more with less as a result of their
inability to recover the costs associated with database
management.
