Help Ensure the Success of your MS SQL Server Deployments

The success or failure of your company's information infrastructure relies as much on the effectiveness of the supporting processes and tools as it does the horsepower and functionality that the databases provides. ITIL best practices show that the value of rigorous service management extends to both the development and operational aspects of any given service.

Your strategic database infrastructure is no exception.

The integration of CA's ERwin® Data Modeler with Microsoft's Visual Studio Team System 2008 Database Edition brings together an industry-leading heterogeneous database design product with a focused MS SQL Server development and life cycle management environment to provide a rigorous platform from which you can manage the development and deployment of MS SQL Server applications.

This partnership is another manifestation of CA's EITM vision as it maps a clear path to unifying and simplifying the provisioning and management of IT services. This integrated solution can help you:

• Mitigate risk through early identification and comprehensive understanding of the business requirements
• Reduce cost through early defect discovery that minimizes maintenance costs
• Improve service through reduced downtime for maintenance and accelerated delivery on the design and development of new business requirements
• Properly align IT services to their critical business initiatives the first time
• Take control of your database changes, automate database testing to improve quality and influence collaboration and communication at your organization
