A properly maintained Database Management System renders significant time savings, storage space savings, increased information availability, and the ability to accurately update information, all of which contribute to a substantial increase in human productivity. The quality of a company’s database management is one of the most important means to achieve a competitive advantage.

There are many reasons companies turn to remote database administration, but there are five key factors, according to Bluewolf.

• Acquired a new company and its database environment; you don’t have the right skill set to support the new environment in house.
• Lost IT headcount
• Redeployed staff to more strategic projects
• Need to cut IT costs
• Require higher levels and support and availability
