Db2 has been a key part of our transition from on premise to cloud based system. Our system has been reliable (with no downtime) and hassle free. It has helped us incorporate LMS (learning management system) for students and seamless administrative functions.

Db2 for the most part gives us a reliable and stable enterprise platform for storing, organizing, and managing data which drives our Master Data Management circle of excellence. By effectively structuring and storing data, various department lanes are able to improve data quality, accessibility, and reliability with a focus on data completeness and uptime. This has lead to better decision-making, improved operations, and quicker time to market of product deployments and prototypes.

As the DB2 database is the main database for all of our school data, I would say it is affecting us greatly. It changes the way we approach our processes and procedures. The data structure allows us to easily organise student information as the central point for all aspects across the school.

In this context, Db2 is having a significant impact on the way I learn and understand database management systems. Using Db2 is helping me develop a deep understanding of database concepts such as manipulating large data sets, performing complex transactions, and implementing data security practices.Furthermore, it is preparing me for future professional challenges, as learning to work with an advanced tool like Db2 puts me in an advantageous position in the job market. It's teaching me about the demands of enterprise IT environments and how database systems can be optimized for efficiency and scalability.Although I am not applying Db2 in a traditional business scenario, the experience gained is equipping me with valuable skills and practical knowledge that will be essential in my future career, whether in software development, data analysis, or banking systems administration of data.
