Data loss can devastate a Business

A business can fail after a devastating and unexpected data loss. Think about what would happen if your company lost all of its data right now! Even if your data is recoverable, it could take days to recover from a major disaster. PricewaterhouseCoopers state 7 out of 10 smaller companies that experience a major data loss go out of business within a year. It’s therefore important for a business to plan for the unexpected. A business should be able to maintain database continuity and quickly recover from a serious data loss. Database continuity is not something that is considered after a serious incident, it’s a process that should be well thought out and carefully planned. A business must consider the cost of downtime and the damaging consequences that could result. This needs to be weighed that against the expense of having professional database management. DBAteam has the expertise to ensure you have the recovery plan and coverage to fit your needs. Don’t let a lack of planning result in your business failing, talk with the professionals from DBAteam, have the reassurance that your data and your business is protected from a potential catastrophe.

Why is data so important?

Data is the life line of any business. The accurate analysis and interpretation of data is a valuable input for a business to gain a competitive edge. It therefore follows that database management and maintaining the quality of data is an important consideration. Many companies fail to understand the importance of keeping their data properly managed. Well managed, accessible data and the information that is generated from the data are now considered to be amongst an organization’s key assets. Many businesses rely extensively on the innovative leverage of their data to guide their decision making. Every business needs to effectively manage its data resources to drive its knowledge management. Remember the famous quote from Lew Platt ex CEO of Hewlett-Packard “If HP knew what HP knows, we would be three times as profitable.” ProDBA are the data professionals that work in partnership with companies to ensure their data is continuously monitored, expertly managed and secure.
