Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) is a powerful, feature-rich set of enterprise software applications—each of which is powered by one or more enterprise-class databases. Managing all of this requires skilled, experienced database administrators to ensure that everything is running at optimal performance.
Like the broader field of data science, however, Oracle EBS is currently undergoing a minor crisis as companies struggle to find the DBAs they need. In a 2015 survey, 20 percent of data professionals said that they planned to retire within the next decade, while 70 percent said that they were 45 or older. Conversely, just 6 percent of data professionals said that they were under 35 years old.
With a 30-year history, Oracle EBS is not immune to the problems of a graying DBA workforce. In the next several years, we expect the supply of EBS DBAs to noticeably contract as people depart or age out of the field. So how do you manage this gap?
This e-book will walk you through the four greatest challenges that your business will face with the retirement of Oracle EBS DBAs and suggest solutions that will help you address them.
