For any business, large or small, Database Administration and Management (DBA) is not just a key, an essential part of their information management, but it is often one of the areas where they will spend the most dollars. According to the latest survey by Computer Economics, and the research and advisory firm, about 21 percent of companies currently outsource the DBA function.
Most do it to save money while finding the best possible experience for the job in question. Many have realized (some the hard way) that, even if the majority of the business involved developers and programmers, IT skills are not always the same as those of the DBA by your Oracle solutions partner.
Who Should Consider Outsourcing?
Most startups, except that their core business would be a database, DBA should consider outsourcing from scratch.
Small businesses that rely on their database to store, retrieve, and share DBA information should consider outsourcing to save costs. In-house DBA experts who are probably not being used and who do not have expensive tools are sometimes necessary to properly care for the database.
The enterprise IT department consists of only a handful of employees who may not have a need large enough to lead a full-time data expert. But they have a database that needs a reliable, tight and monitored system that remains the same. Therefore, Outsourcing becomes the best solution to meet all these requirements free of charge.
