"Our ERP implementation needed a more automated approach," said Hughes. "Now, despite having less staff available, I haven't spent a weekend on-site in months." Rockford accelerated the deployment schedule by contracting CA Services. "Although the latest product releases were installed from scratch, it took just a day and a half to get up and running productively," said Hughes. Unicenter TSreorg allows companies to achieve and maintain peak performance and availability by reducing fragmentation in the database. In addition, Unicenter TSreorg provides the ability to maximize storage usage of Oracle database applications throughout the enterprise. Unicenter Fast Unload is significantly faster than similar products and completely replaces the function of the database's native unload facility. Both Unicenter TSreorg and Unicenter Fast Unload have been architected to work efficiently and meet the demands of today's typically large eBusiness environments. "Companies are recognizing significant savings in both time and storage capacity using Unicenter TSreorg," said Richard Bolesta, brand manager, database management, CA. "Both Unicenter TSreorg and Unicenter Fast Unload were designed for large Oracle environments where the benefits are significant for DBAs in managing their Oracle database and applications." Unicenter TSreorg and Unicenter Fast Unload for Oracle reduce fragmentation and optimization hurdles by providing automated maintenance functions without compromising availability or tying up highly skilled DBAs. Rockford plans to achieve additional efficiencies by adding more automated actions for Unicenter TSreorg and Unicenter Fast Unload for Oracle. "We anticipate the ultimate payoff ahead as we automate business processes from end to end by leveraging Unicenter technology across related functions," said Hughes.
