91% of fortune 100 companies.
Our philosophy is to design highly usable, reliable tools that solve problems
commonly faced by DBAs and developers.

4. Poor Database Deployment Effects
• Databases are out of pace with application development
• Little or no traceability of database changes
• Inability to roll back to the previous version of a
database
• Databases become a bottleneck in agile delivery
processes
• Releases are less frequent and risky
• Manual database processes prevent you from utilizing CI
and CD to their full extent
• Deployments require a lot of Dev and DBA hours

5. Benefits of DLM and Continuous Delivery
• Repeatability of processes, giving:
– Greater predictability over releases
– Efficiency by eliminating the repetition of a range of
manual activities
• Faster speed of response to change through:
– The automated deployment of smaller units of change
• Greater reliability of the release process by:
– Providing a series of automated test stages prior to
deployment

6. The Bottom Line
The 2014 State of DevOps report found that:
• IT performance strongly correlates with practices such
as version control and continuous delivery.
• High-performing IT organizations are more agile and
reliable, deploying code 30 times more frequently with
50% fewer failures.
• Firms with high-performing IT organizations are twice as
likely to exceed their profitability, market share, and
productivity goals.
