PPT

Each group has been assigned either a vendor who produces several database platforms or a class of database platforms. For this assignment, you are going to do a detailed technical and business evaluation of the assigned vendor and/or database class. 

Top for Group 8 - Oracle Databases (Oracle & Sun-Owned)

Each group must answer the following questions in the form of an executive business presentation. Pretend you are trying to sell the CEO of a company on why they should move their database to the assigned platform. Using these questions below as your guide, create a presentation that provides clear, concise facts. 

Use the presentation - How to presentation: How to Create a Killer Business Use Case as the basis of your presentation creation. 

QUESTIONS

· What are the key database products made by the vendor OR the key database platforms available under the database category (do not just use the ones listed - there are MANY MORE)?

· If a vendor, who are the competitors to the platform? If a database technology class, who is the clear leader and why?

· What industries are these database vendors tools or database technology platforms used in? Is the market increasing or decreasing for technology?

· What are the key features for each of these database platforms? What are differentiators compared to other database platforms in its like-kind class?

· Are these databases used on-premise only? Cloud-based only? Mainframe only? Explain the infrastructure use case for each of these databases that you are discussing. 

· Provide three (3) business uses for why a customer/client would want to use your vendors/class of database technology in their environment.

· What are key technical skills a data administrator or database administrator would require if they use this platform?

· Where do you believe this technology will be in 3-5 years?

As you can tell, this is about a 12-15 slide presentation BUT your group still has a LOT of research to do in order to answer the questions! Your group will have a LOT OF RESEARCH. 

Focus on the facts - clear, simple facts. Do not jam EVERYTHING into the presentation. 

You MUST use APA citations (cite at the end of the presentation).
