Every database project I've worked on has included a maintenace plan: Index rebuilds, statistics updating, cache warming, etc...

How do products like Sage take care of this? I never see any scheduled maintenace jobs in SQL Server for their products.

Chatted to Sage.
Turns out they have no maintenance plan released with their standard installs.
Checked some of the indexes and they are fragmented.

We get rid of most of the maintenance plans that are setup with a 3rd party package. If they have anything that is application specific, then we leave it there. But anything that a DBA normally handles, we delete their stuff and then use our own custom stuff since the maintenance plans suck.
