Presentation: "Accountability for System Performance"

Track: Relational Databases

Time: Monday 16:00 - 16:45

Location: SAS Nortvegia

Abstract: Oracle shops are commonly organized in such a manner that the departments held accountable for making systems fast and efficient don't have enough leverage to get the job done. The result is painful. Users suffer from slow applications and system costs spiral while organizations expend energy deflecting blame. This session describes how the right measurements and a few process changes can produce a culture of performance accountability across departments, resulting in faster, cheaper, more efficient systems.
