Why Pythian
The world has changed. Rapid economic changes brought about by global economic forces require nimble businesses able to rapidly respond to increases or decreases in demand. Service provider models must also adapt to the needs and demands of today's customer.
Pythian has responded to this demand by defining a new, innovative and flexible engagement model for its customers.
Pythian provides remote DBAs in a utility consumption format. Your company can gain an incredible advantage by determining, on a monthly basis, how much Pythian expertise you require and where to apply that expertise. As the need and demand for DBA expertise constantly changes, your company is able to optimally and cost-effectively consume only those resources that are valuable to you, as they are required.
Gartner Group, a leading IT research firm, now advises clients to reduce fixed-scope, long-term outsourcing contracts in favor of shorter, more adaptive models. The new economic reality demands agility, adaptability and flexibility. Pythian embraced these values more than five years ago and, as a result, has built a large, growing and loyal customer base.
