- #32 Let’s get started… I would like to take a moment to provide a little context regarding an issue many organizations face before we take at look at Datical DB. As many of you already know or have first hand experience with… the introduction of Agile software release processes and the adoption of application release automation has made a big impact. The good news is - more applications are being released and the frequency of these releases has increased. This is illustrated by the BLUE line on this chart. But like most good things there can be unintended consequences. In this case the ability to do more application releases means the process many organizations rely on to push out the corresponding database changes can’t keep up. Traditional database deployment methods have been outpaced by Agile and release automation. This is illustrated by the RED line on the Chart This has created what we call THE DEPLOYMENT GAP.
- #33 Where does XebiaLabs fit in?
- #35 Database Change Process is the Number One contributor to application release delays. 91% DBAs & 90% App Dev Managers agree 75% DBAs say it’s getting worse 30% IT Managers report an errors increase over the last 12 months due to bad database changes. 42% DBAs report the same. Over half report Database Automation as key to release speed, same amount report their level of automation fails to meet those needs.
- #37 By bringing automation to database deployments and providing organizations with the ability to treat database code just like application code, Datical is able to close the deployment gap. Our approach is innovative and unique. In fact we have been recognized as a one of the companies that matter most in data by DBTA and Gartner named us as a Cool Vendor because we enable actions and insights that were not possible before.
- #39 Datical DB simplifies and automates the antiquated, manual process of deploying database changes. This automation eliminates the typical back and forth - waiting game experienced by Developers and Testers as they wait for each change script and each change to be reviewed. The entire database change deployment process is made even more simple by Datical DBs ability to work with your existing application automation tool suite. Now database changes travel alongside application code changes at the push of a button through your lower tier environments all the way to production.
- #40 The ability to increase productivity, efficiency and eliminate release errors translates into reduced RISK and COST and a BIG ROI. On average Datical customers spend 80% less time on tasks related to deploying database changes. In addition our customers have seen a 90% decrease in bad database changes that make their way into production. The value and benefit of Datical are far reaching across your organization: Database professionals avoid the time-consuming task of reviewing change scripts and can focus on more important projects. Developers can package, review, and validate database changes alongside application code changes with the push of a button. …and Application owners are able to deliver error-free experiences faster and more often - while maximizing their other application release investments.
