Encourage you to look at Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control.
Much of the Cloud Control is already included in your license (at no
additional cost, as described at
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E24628_01/doc.121/e24474/ch10_base_functionality.htm#BGBFJBHH).
The 'for fee' Database Lifecycle Management Pack (which replaces the
Change Management Pack) adds even more functionality likely fitting your
needs, as described
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E24628_01/doc.121/e24474/ch2_db_mgmt.htm#BABCFJHA
In discussing the Cloud Control packs with my customers (I am an independent consultant) I have found the cost can pretty much be justified when you compare to account developing and maintaining your own solution in the - as you say - quickly growing and multi-access (and multi-misinterpretation) environments found these days. Home grown solutions invariably depend on someone maintaining them, and people tend to want the flexibility to change jobs these days.
