ALISO VIEJO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- IT team members are increasingly demanding access to the information and resources they need to do their jobs anywhere, from any device. According to Forrester Research [1], 66 percent of North American and European Union workers are mobile. This is coupled with the dramatic change in the IT landscape ─ including added layers of complexity, and administrative and business intelligence requirements ─ caused by the emergence of Big Data and related technologies. As a result, DBAs and developers frequently are challenged to meet their job requirements away from the office. Quest Software(now a part of Dell) today announced it has responded to this demand with Toad® for Oracle 11.6, providing anywhere access to select functionality in the fastest, most flexible version of the industry's leading productivity tool for Oracle database professionals.
