Optim Enablement Team (dstudio@us.ibm.com), Technical Enablement Specialists, IBM
The Optim enablement team has worldwide responsibility for providing technical enablement for IBM Integrated Data Management products that are part of the Data Studio portfolio. These products include InfoSphere Data Architect, Data Studio Developer and pureQuery Runtime, and many more.

The DBA uses DB2 Performance Expert and Extended Insight Feature to help diagnose complex performance problems quickly. With Optim Database Administrator, daily database administration tasks are simpler and less tedious, and database changes can be managed with less risk and greater auditability. Creating a right-sized test database is easy to do with Optim Test Data Management, even when private data needs to be unidentified.
