This is necessary for keeping the audit tools up-to-date and functioning, and also supporting patching of the database when updates arrive. Second, Oracle's pricing and maintenance policies are often considered exceptionally high for the market and are often questioned by customers (Evans, 10).
Recommendations for Implementation
In terms of implementing the system significant changes to processes for data capturing including extraction, transfer and load (ETL) and the integration of BI components are necessary. From manufacturers including Quantum who relies on Oracle Enterprise Edition to manage the production of high density tape drives to R.L. Polk and its use for automotive data, Enterprise Edition has been shown to scale globally. Further, the transaction engine component is being used for synchronizing supply chains and production centers as well (Alkhatib, Labban, 102).
Any organization undertaking the use of Enterprise Edition will first need to streamline their most critical business processes, and for manufacturers this is there supply chain and procurement systems areas. Once these processes are in place the company can selectively add in role-based workflows, integrating them in from the diagram shown in Figure 1. Further detailed workflow-to-data set integration to the level of Figure 2 is also critically important as well (McCown, 102, 103). Once processes have been redefined and value stream mapping completed, Enterprise Edition and its modules can be installed on a Linux-based server, running Red Hat implementation of Linux O.S. And scaled to support virtualization. This will ensure a higher level of performance at a lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) than if an Intel and Windows system were included in the configuration for example (Turetken, Demirors, 179).
Rating Analysis
Based on an analysis of the thirteen factors captured during this analysis of the Enterprise Edition customer base and form the secondary data sources used in the analysis, scoring was defined for each attribute. These scores are based on an assessment of Enterprise Edition relative to competing applications shown in the following table.
Based on a comparative analysis of these applications and the alignment of Oracle features, functionality and corporate strengths the following table of ratings has been devised.

BJ's Wholesale Enterprise Architecture It is necessary to develop a business environment that shelters all applications under one roof. As such, the business environment will minimize the average cost of running a business and ensure that systems are not redundant. A desirable business environment is one that merges I.T orientations to a business environment without the two contradicting each other. Subsequent effort to improvise this system has seen software developers come
Database Administrator for Department Store Scenario The department store has expanded in the local region by opening five more bookstores, and the bookstore has launched a series of marketing campaign to increase sales and attract new customers. The objective of this technical report is to develop a plan to create and maintain an enterprise-wide database system that will assist the bookstore to hold the inventory and sales data.

Database Security Plan and Requirements Definition for a University Department The database security plan and requirements definition were developed. The plan included, at the outset, the inclusion of major stakeholder at the University and described their roles in initiating, implementing, and maintaining the plan. Individuals responsible for daily and other periodic tasks were developed. A major consideration in planning the security was the policy that governs granting of access. The need-to-know,
