In the C-Suite, you live and die by the numbers—and right now the third quarter is looking bad. What do you do? Read further to find the surprising answer to achieving real savings!
| In the C-Suite, you live and die by the numbers—and right now the third quarter is looking bad. And from the board’s perspective, or the analysts’ perspectives, or Wall Street’s perspective, it might even look worse.
What do you do? Here’s a surprising answer: you can achieve real savings through your database. You’re used to a steady stream of requests from IT—more CPUs, more memory, more licenses, and more personnel, so you’re used to looking at your database as a cost center—but what if you could drive those costs down in less than two hours? |
 |
Let us explain.
Your IBM DB2 database is one of the most powerful business advantages on the planet. We should know: our company was built by an IBM DB2 GOLD Consultant and IBM Champion. Because of this, we know that virtually every database has hidden inefficiencies that cause it to work harder, run slower, and cost more. Attacking those inefficiencies means adding to your bottom line.
Here's How
|
An ailing database requires more DB administrators and managers to attend to it—just like a patient in intensive care requires more nurses and doctors. | 
|
An ailing database strategy spikes your energy bill. Do you know how much money you spend on electricity each year? A lot more than you want to spend. If a database is ailing, it causes the CPUs work to more, and that draws more energy. | 
|
An ailing database requires more CPUs, memory, and licenses to compensate. Again, just like a patient in intensive care requires more wires, tubes, machines, monitors, and flashing, beeping things to help her continue to live, so also an ailing database requires constant, critical care to live. |
Here’s how you’ll save money:
- A properly configured database doesn’t work as hard and taxes the CPUs less—saving you energy.
- A properly configured database requires fewer CPUs. This means that you can:
- Cancel CPU, memory, and license purchases projected in the budget.
- Actually turn off and sell the CPUs you no longer need.
- A properly configured database allows for a smaller IT staff. You no longer need an army of DBAs writing scripts to try and improve the health of the database.
And we saved the best for last: when your database is functioning well, it absolutely, positively makes money. How? Quicker checkouts and faster website responsiveness add up to more sales and fewer shopping cart abandons. When data moves fast, profits pile up fast.
When you partner with DBI Software, it’s completely within your power to take instant action, create immediate improvement, and true up your bottom line.
