How You Can Explain on the Call
You can say something along these lines:
1. Start with Purpose
“Thanks for the update on the upcoming BCM activity. From the DB team side, we are already well prepared to support BCM using the newly introduced automation.”
2. Explain What Has Changed
“I would like to highlight that we have recently implemented a BCM automation framework for databases.
This automation is designed to make the BCM process more:
Efficient
Transparent
Controlled
And self-service for application teams”
3. Highlight Key Benefits
“With this automation:
Application teams can trigger the BCM database activities on their own through the approved interface.
No manual DBA intervention is required for standard BCM operations.
The process is fully logged and auditable.
Execution is faster and less error-prone compared to the earlier manual approach.”
4. Explain Control and Safety
“Although it is self-service, it is not uncontrolled:
Proper validations are built in
Role-based access is implemented
Pre-checks and post-checks are automated
DB team still has full visibility and governance”
5. Clarify DB Team Involvement
“So for the upcoming BCM activity:
Application team can use the automation to trigger the required DB steps.
DB team involvement will mainly be for:
Initial coordination
Any exceptional scenarios
Monitoring and support if something unexpected happens”
6. Offer Support
“We can arrange a short demo or walkthrough if required, so your team is comfortable using the automation before the actual BCM date.”
Keep These Points Ready if They Ask Questions
If they ask “What exactly can we trigger?”:
Database switchover/failover
Start/stop sequences
Health checks
Validation steps
If they ask “Do we still need DBAs?”:
Only for non-standard cases
Troubleshooting
First-time onboarding
One Short Summary Line (if you need to be very brief)
“In short – BCM DB activities are now automated, self-service, safe, and transparent, so application teams can execute them directly with minimal dependency on DBAs.”
