16 Jul Cost Challenge for Data Platform Managed Services
Managing the cost challenge for managed services is tough. Especially in this market. Time and again, organisations are looking to reduce the costs of business by cutting spending.
But that comes with a cost.
Sure, a bank could run a Bunnings sausage sizzle. But you wouldn’t expect them to start a restaurant. When they need an event catered for, they call the people who they know makes good food, not the people who you might buy a snag from when buying plants on a Sunday.
Why then do we expect organisations to be able to maintain a data platform that a misstep might make or break the business?
Engaging a Data Specialist to maintain your data platform is keeping the cooks in the kitchen. Having data specialists to manage your data platform will save an organisation in more ways than one.
Specialists in the field will reduce costs by bringing efficiency. It’ll reduce the workload of the internal team, allowing them to do what they’re meant to be doing.
Working with an on-shore team, will ensure data sovereignty, avoiding the nightmares other companies have been facing. It means you don’t have to have a team learning about data security the hard way.
Having a multi-year agreement in place that supports the flexibility of the changing nature of both a business and the market situation, allows for changing needs to be met, and the handover of ever evolving IP.
Having a Managed Services partner for your data platform that’s an on-shore Data Specialist, will ensure data sovereignty and security, and let you do what you specialise in.
