 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.”
