>From what I've seen you might include things like:

Increased reliability/24x7 accessibility

	RAC
	Dataguard
More efficient use of resources
	SAN
	Grid :)

The key being ways in which the technology will support the company either in becoming more efficient, being available more often, saving money, etc.

... come to those who wait.

My manager has informed me that he would like me to take on a role as a database architect rather than 'just' as a DBA.

Good news for me, as that is what I was hired to do at another job about 52 months ago. Too bad it was at Enron Broadband Services.

But that's not exactly why I am writing here.

One of the tasks in this capacity is to develop a database roadmap for our company. Where the technology is going, how we should exploit it, etc.

As this is something I have not previously done, I was wondering if anyone has or knows of examples they can share. It would be nice to see what is typically expected (or not expected) with this type of a document.

I'm not looking too plagiarize, but just get a better feel for this type of document, what level of detail it may or may not provide, that sort of thing.

I have googled for it, but couldn't come up with anything useful.

Thanks,
