Many businesses store user data, often data that is personally identifiable and contains sensitive information like names, addresses, and even credit card or bank account data. More and more, businesses are finding that the old idea that this data is too sensitive to ’give away’ by outsourcing is outdated. They’re outsourcing database services like never before.New laws like hose pending in the European Union, will virtually guarantee that businesses with any management sense will be outsourcing their databases. Add in the past couple of years news headlines regarding big corporations whose databases were not just breached, but seriously compromised with data stolen, and you see why outsourcing to professionals who specialize in DBA is becoming the better choice. The growth of Big Data is the primary driver here.Most people are used to government being the primary driver in most established markets, such as automotive or electricity generation.

Government http://www.jinnaike.com is usually involved or regulating to the point that they become the number one contributor to the market’s shape and form.Not so with databases.Although government plays a role, with regulations like HIPAA and others stipulating how certain types of data can be stored and used, for the most part, government is taking a back seat to business in regards to how data is stored, used, and manipulated.In fact, today’s biggest driver behind database development technologies is Big Data - the fact that everything seems to be connected now and all of those things, from cell phones to cars to home computers, are producing data that must be stored. This huge influx of data means that companies are having to get innovative with their storage and retrieval abilities. That means a lot of commitment to hardware, software, and experts to run it all.For many businesses, large and small, that task is becoming such a huge chunk of their operating costs that they’re learning that finding experts might be easier if the experts aren’t actually in-house.At some companies, in fact, the only people making more money in salary than the database administrator are the corporate officers themselves. That should say how much data means to companies now. In fact, quite often, the DBA is a corporate officer (think CIO).

What this means for the average business owner.Whatever your business, it’s very likely that you are storing data of some type. In retail, you’re likely storing inventory data, customer information, financial information, supply chain contact information and purchase histories/orders, etc. It’s also very likely that you’re finding the task of storing all of this to be a bigger part of your workday and company outlay than ever before.Eventually, you’ll want to consider how much it costs and whether those costs can be cut with new tools, ideas, or services.It’s at this point that you must decide whether you should outsource. Quite often, business owners are finding that their data costs drop significantly and their capacity becomes nearly limitless in the bargain.Reconsidering outsourcing is a big step that every business manager must eventually make. No matter your business, you produce data that needs to be taken care of. Unless you’re in the business of databases, you’ll likely find that outsourcing is your better option in today’s market.
