The future of database administration and business intelligence lies in outsourcing.

Most companies have small to medium size databases that do not warrant a fulltime database administrator (DBA). They then tend to use a developer to act as database administrator. Soon the company finds themselves in a situation where this person is such a key resource that they call on her night and day.

Companies cannot afford to take this type of risk. This is a symptom of bad database administration.

A good database administrator goes unnoticed. The database does what it is supposed to do: Store data reliably and retrieves data fast. A good DBA will warn you months in advance if hardware upgrades is required. Ensure that bottlenecks are fixed before they become a problem to business.

With business intelligence solutions you often need information fast to make that important business decision. When your IT department then ask you for a specification and promise to get back to you in six months with a solution you know they are missing the point. In cases like this you need someone to come in for a few days, analyse the data and present it in a way that helps you with that important decision. Often you will not need their skills for another few months.

KIBO Computer Services recognises that database administrators and business intelligence (BI) developers are dedicated and unique skills. Most developers can setup a database and setup business intelligence reports, but these solutions take long to deliver and soon run into problems. The answer lies in outsourcing.

We at KIBO Computer Services can provide you with a team of personnel that will look after your DBA and BI needs.
