Chaucer PLC Streamlines SQL Server Monitoring

INDUSTRY

It provides the capital and expertise required to write business at Lloyd’s, the world’s leading insurance and reinsurance market.

BUSINESS CHALLENGE

The challenge for Chaucer’s IT department involved finding effective tools that would enable the Senior Database Administrator to monitor a large number of SQL Servers and provide overview reports as well as exception reporting. The DBA needed automated solutions—including an auditing system for servers for compliance/regulatory purposes—that would save time and enhance productivity.
