One user quoted in the Islandia, N.Y., companys news release said the Productivity Pack helps save time and money by corralling into one console all of the necessary tools.
“With the common console, CAs new Productivity Pack for Oracle provides the tools a database administrator needs all within a mouse click,” Tom Smith, systems administrator for LifeBridge Health, a health-related services provider based in Baltimore, said in the release.
“We are responsible for administering multiple business applications that each have different management requirements, so having a common and consistent set of tools saves time and money and enables greater service levels.”
The tools included are AllFusion Erwin Data Modeler, used to design databases; Unicenter Enterprise DBA, a database administration tool that streamlines and automates daily tasks such as simple “create” or complex “compare-and-synchronize” operations; and Unicenter Fast Unload, an unloading tool to extract database information quickly and efficiently.
