DATABASE CO/OUTSOURCING – THE FUTURE OF DATABASE ADMINISTRATION
Economic Times Encourages Companies to a Co/Outsourcing Model
Economic volatility is driving a greater number of organisations to consider cost cutting measures and to implement consolidation procedures. This situation is further compounded by the growing skills shortage that makes it more difficult for businesses to acquire and retain people with the right levels of skills and experience. One way of mitigating these business challenges is for organisations to consider and adopt an Co/Outsourcing strategy.
How Ascent can Assist
Ascent's proven database services model has enabled organisations to Co/Outsource the daily maintenance, management and support of their database environments on a 24/7 hour basis. The active monitoring, preventative maintenance and management ensures optimal performance. This can include application specific tasks and/or database batch jobs. Proposed on a fixed monthly cost, this service is implemented on a remote and on-site basis to ensure a reliable, robust and optimally performing database.
Ascent Technology fosters a heterogeneous database strategy. Our specialised database skills enables us to service and support complex mixed technology environments - this includes Microsoft, Oracle, Sybase, MySQL and PostgreSQL.
