Executive Summary (This is a document excerpt)

As more databases are deployed to support growing business requirements, manageability and complexity not only increase, but so do IT costs. Enterprises can save money through automation, open source, standardization, outsourcing, consolidation, and utilizing low-cost servers, but the amount of savings largely depends on scope and size, management focus, and implementation strategies. All enterprises should look at database cost-savings initiatives every six to 12 months in an effort to lower costs, improve service-level agreements, and enhance operational efficiencies.
