Use Cases and Deployment Scope

In my previous company before this one, We used it for capturing and registering motor vehicle speed infringements. One of the problems which [were] addressed was how easy it was for me to get reports for the business to make decisions. However, though not mentioned in the question, I find it so difficult to find tools [that] be used to monitor and administer this database and others am currently using.

Pros

Data Integrity
Provides very high security
Reporting
Has very good speed on queries

Cons

If possible, it should come with tools for monitoring as a DBA.
Should provide some tools for automating jobs.
Should come with some custom reports.

Return on Investment

Decision making as a result of reports.
Reduced cost on security.
Because of good speed, decisions are made fast hence cost of running the business is reduced.
