AI/ML is highly impacting work that we do. AI/ML features of Db2 has not only brings results of complex queries on large dataset in a blink of an eye, but also reduced the manpower required to manage the database. Performance of this database is therefore far better than its competitors.

When I think of our workload management automation processes, Db2 has helped improve efficiencies and helps us drive process experience. Workload automation has been a means for us to dynamically allocate resources and automate processing based on workload demands which in turn ensures that resources are efficiently utilized and allocated for those routines when they need it most. By automating a priority schedule for workloads based on a defined criteria that includes at a minimum deadlines resource availability. We have increased automation processes and at the same time improved overall system performance and health.

We are hoping to use AI and ML to analyse student information to discover trends that can assist teaching staff in early intervention of any student related issues.visualisation of these AI features will be a game changer so executive staff as they could be feed realtime insights into what’s happening across our school.

We are still in learning phase for these new capabilities. Our DBA team takes care of keeping the db2 engine humming without any performance impacts to the business user. Our expectation is that these new capabilities, will allow the automatic turning of the performance for the application queries, by deciding when the data in the database has changed and automatically update the statistics for the data, so we don't have queries performance impacted.
