Financial sector firms can’t compete and grow their business without data. And data can’t be leveraged optimally without strong Data Warehousing (DW) and Database Administration (DBA) expertise. As a leading provider of advanced DW and DBA expertise, ECI delivers the support and guidance necessary to enable companies to leverage their data optimally for current and future scalability, security, availability and workload needs.
Organizations Suffer Without Adequate DW and DBA Expertise
While most mid-sized firms have at least one person with structured query language (SQL) knowledge, they often do not have the in-house DBA expertise to program, configure and secure databases in the optimal way. That leaves organizations struggling with database performance and security issues that unfortunately scale along with the business as it grows – creating added cost and complexity that can overwhelm limited in-house DBA resources and budgets.
The story is much the same when it comes to Data Warehousing. Without the right DW expertise, organizations struggle with siloed, non-standardized and hard-to-access data that holds back system visibility, business insights and operational control. This scenario of disparate and inconsistent data that is spread across different spreadsheets and systems makes it nearly impossible to sufficiently access and analyze information for reporting and decision making.
Unfortunately, the negative business impacts pile up quickly when DBA and DW expertise is lacking. These include knowledge gaps that degrade the quality of your analytics and the leveraging of your data for decision support; duplicative or unnecessary infrastructure, hardware and provisioning costs; and poor application performance that introduces error, latency and downtime into your operation. All of these factors negatively impact overall performance, revenue and customer trust.
ECI Supports Clients with DBA and DW Services
The above pain points make clear that organizations can’t afford to do without adequate DBA and DW expertise to bring data together in a secure and scalable manner that optimizes performance, security and cost. And it’s equally clear that – in cases where it’s not possible to hire that DBA or DW expertise in-house – organizations can’t do without the right MSP partner to provide such services. Fortunately for these organizations, ECI is a trusted leader in the MSP space for both DBA and DW services.
Our DBA offering ensures that your databases are high performing, secure and reliable and that downtime is minimized. We also configure and balance your database operation to be more efficient to keep infrastructure management costs under control.
