In my opinion we exist only to serve the business.We need to know what people are doing and why in order to match the best solution to their needs. I never allow a new application to get a foot hold in the databases unless they send me the data on the intended application. Thats means: who asked for it, what is the business need what is the intended solution etc.
We also assign each new application to a member of the dba team who sits in during the design stage and then follow up until the system is in production.

What I read in trade press is that DBA's and geeks in general can't be just technical any more, we must get into business side. What does list think ? If we all must be more business savvy, what's the best way to get into it from where we are now ? Data modeling ? Suggestions, ideas, thoughts please.
