Database administration oversees data monitoring, maintenance, and management. Database backups must restore systems to near failure points quickly and consistently while large volumes of transactions are occurring in the system. Databases need to be maintained and secured adequately, and they must be accessible to other systems. Database administration tasks may also be extended to managing mirror databases, publishing, and subscribing to datasets. The number of users and applications accessing the database also contributes to the workload of the role.

Moreover, manufacturing firms must integrate information technologies and operational technologies to realize the full potential of I4.0 and Lean. This provides corporate users with real-time data, which aids in the standardization of processes and database administration. There is a need to undertake a thorough review. The goal is to ensure that transformation projects are aligned with building strong business propositions, which can be monitored during I4.0 and Lean deployment. The results also highlight the importance of return on investment (SF12). This implies that the implementation of the Lean-I4.0 at each stage should seek to improve operational measures that may be connected to monetary gain (Bittencourt, Alves, and Leão 2021). At last, manufacturing firms need to develop infrastructure to link academic education with industrial training programs, allowing them to meet the contemporary demand for business skills and competencies across a broad range of educational platforms. Firms need to provide sponsored trainings to develop the requisite skills of the existing workforce. Additionally, workers must be trained and reskilled, which, in turn, necessitates educational and vocational adjustments.
Motivations for the IT Professional Turnaway Intention: A Delphi Approach
Published in Information Systems Management, 2019

The type 1 antecedents are linked to the IT career and the way organizations manage their IT personnel. Thus, they should be addressed by public policies and human resource strategies of organizations. That way, we recommend that governments foster the training and intake of professionals into the IT arena and develop policies to ensure that they will remain in this area to reduce the turnaway phenomenon. In particular, we recommend that countries develop regulatory policies that make it possible for IT professionals, as well as society in general, to perceive IT as a profession rather than a mere occupation. For example, governments could give IT professionals a well-defined professional and social status in addition to their specific duties and rights. Regarding the former, some of the IT professional’s duties may be network management, software development or database administration. Besides, IT specialists may also provide technical support to a business or an organization’s employees and train non-technical workers on the business’ information systems (Csorny, 2013). Concerning the latter, the IT professionals rights are related to career growth, namely “progression through a sequence of jobs, involving continually more advanced or diverse activities and resulting in wider or improved skills, greater responsibility and prestige, and higher income” (Bloomsbury Business and Management Dictionary, 2007, p. 1353).

Joshi, Sharma, and Barve (2022) employed Best Worst Method (BWM) for the purpose of establishing the most important BCT implementation hurdles that have an effect on WEEE. The determination of challenges associated with implementing IoT-enabled BCT solutions for closed-loop WEEE in this research is based on a comprehensive literature evaluation. The authors explored the applicable challenges, ineffective database administration, inadequate awareness of cognitive technologies, and information security and privacy were the primary concerns for BCT adoption in closed-loop supply chains. The model is an initiative taken in the field of waste management to assist developing economies in their transition towards circular economies.
