Why Should You Consider DBA as a Service?

You may have either a resource or skills-based challenge or you may need to improve or change the way you manage your databases.

Our customers naturally fall into one of three categories, each requiring outsourced data administration services on a long or short-term basis. They have either:

No Database Administrator

Usually smaller businesses where there is no dedicated database administrator role and where there is no need or budget for a full-time database resource.

A Single or 'Accidental' DBA

Where one person has all the responsibility and internal knowledge about the organisations data, making them a single point of risk. In some companies this role could have been filled internally from another IT position, but it is common that they lack DBA experience.

A DBA Team

Here there is a team of at least two administrators who understand how critical the data is to their business. However, it is common for project work to take priority and basic database management can get neglected.

We also regularly work with companies who need to change how they manage their data. They want to:

Drive More Cost Efficiency

Skilled inhouse resource may be costing too much as DBA salaries and other employee overheads are increasing. Our Database Administration as a Service can provide a cost effective way of acquiring a range of skilled professionals for a flexible monthly fee.

Quickly Increase Specialised Expertise

Specialist technology requires specialist knowledge which may not be available in an inhouse team. DBA’s are also in high demand and market availability is low. Our team can provide the required expertise quickly without lengthy recruiting or onboarding processes.

Get Continuous Database Resources

Small inhouse teams bring a business continuity concern when employees leave or are absent. When both people and their knowledge are no longer available, it can create vulnerabilities. Quickly tap into our pool of experts with a range of niche or accredited skills who can provide ongoing resource for all database management services.

Focus on Core Competencies

Businesses may need to concentrate on core business activities and may not want to divert resources and attention to managing databases. With our specialist team in place, database performance and security are maintained, and internal teams can focus on delivering visible projects to customers and stakeholders.

Have 24/7 Support and Monitoring

Organisations with global operations or critical applications require continuous database monitoring and support. Where internal teams cannot scale, our outsourced services can provide round-the-clock support, ensuring prompt issue resolution, monitoring, and maintenance even during non-business hours.

Be Set Up for Growth

A company experiencing rapid growth needs a flexible and scalable database to handle increasing data volumes and user loads. Our dedicated team monitor database capacity and quickly facilitates technical and resources adjustments to scale the database infrastructure as required.

Security and Compliance

Industries such as healthcare, finance, or government must adhere to strict data security and compliance regulations. We provide expertise in data security and compliance ensuring that databases are configured and managed in accordance with industry standards, and closely monitored reducing the risk of data breaches and legal issues.
