Why Outsource Database Administration?
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 “Service as a Service” 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.
Why Companies Trust Pythian
- Reduce DBA costs by 40 to 60 percent
- 24/7 customer support
- Expertise in Oracle, Oracle Apps, MySQL and SQL Server
Availability
With Pythian, more technical skills are on tap at all hours of the day, with more escalation support and for more weeks of the year than a fully insourced strategy.
We hire and retain the world’s best database experts for Oracle, Oracle Apps, MySQL and SQL Server. Many of our engineers have earned the top designations in the industry.
Agility
Furthermore, agility is greatly increased through our dynamic scope model, which we can scale with the project needs. In addition, the likelihood that we have already performed a task or a project is much higher than for a single in-house hire. In larger teams, Pythian’s blended insourced/outsourced model allows a best of both worlds strategy to be implemented.
Our dynamic-scope contracting model is customer-friendly and easily understood: a simple markup model on our costs of service delivery. This means that as we automate, streamline, tune and improve processes, the customer gets to tap into those efficiencies. Simply put, savings are passed onto the customer.
