Because of business' constant focus on achieving set goals, transaction-intensive business applications are collecting and storing more data than ever before. Runaway data growth and ever expanding regulatory requirements can put a company's application database into overload, making them increasingly difficult and costly to manage.

Once an Oracle application has been in service for some time, massive amounts of stale and historical data will affect an application's performance, storage costs, back-up and disaster recovery times and increase out-of-service windows. These issues, compounded by the effect of the business needing to continually store data for legal and e-discovery requirements, are compelling business problems to solve.

SQL*Wizard and IBM Philippines recently hosted an event dubbed as "Optimize:  Leverage Your Investment in your Oracle Applications."  Here, attendees were presented ways on how they can solve the problems mentioned above at the source.  The answer is:  by managing the lifecycle of their enterprise application data.

Participants were introduced to a single, scalable, interoperable Enterprise Data Management solution that provided a central point to deploy policies to extract, store, port, and protect application data  from creation to deletion.
