Although you must jump many technical hurdles to use DB2 successfully, the organizational issues of implementing and supporting DB2 are not insignificant. Each corporation must address the organizational issues involved in supporting DB2. Although the issues are common from company to company, the decisions made to address these issues can vary dramatically.

This chapter outlines the issues. Your organization must provide the answers as to how it will support these issues. This chapter can be used in any of the following ways:

• As a blueprint of issues to address for organizations that will implement DB2

• As a checklist for current DB2 users to ensure that all issues have been addressed

• As a resource for programmers who need a framework for accessing their organization's standards and operating procedures
