Having owned and
run a medium size enterprise for more than three decades now, I have been
witness to many changes in business processes and markets. But never before has
change taken such rapid steps as it is doing now. I attribute these rapid
changes in how businesses are run and the changes in the market scenario to the
rapid progress of technology. What used to take us about ten people to handle a
few years ago can now be handled by a single system which is fully automated.
All it takes is one person to operate the system and tasks are completed in a
fraction of the time it would take ten people to complete it! Such is the
progress in every field! I too had to embrace a database management system or
DBMS as part of my business practice to keep pace with the changing times but I
was very apprehensive about this because I had no idea about how to set up and
run such systems. I also had apprehensions about expanding my team to include
expert personnel who could set up and run such systems because I did not want
to increase my overheads. This is when I came across the term databaseadministration.
I found out that
it was possible to outsource the database administration to an external
technical service provider and this proved a huge relief for me. Rather than having
to hire my own team at a much higher cost and spend precious resources on
managing an in-house DBA team, I found that this solution worked rather well
for my specific needs. I how have a technical consultancy service which takes
care of the entire set up and provides the right solutions for all my business
needs. This also gives me valuable free time and resources which I can
concentrate on the core competency of my company, which is getting and keeping
clients! Outsourcing has also proved to be a more cost effective option for me.
It can get rather expensive and take a toll on overhead costs if you choose to
maintain an in-house department, so I am very satisfied with the solution I
found!
