In today's world, the care and management of data is critical for your business. The role of database security and quality are regulatory requirements for public companies within the USA with the introduction of SOX. Your company may be asked to provide proof of data care even if you are not a publicly traded company, but provide services to publicly traded customers. The care and management of data is a part of the role of a DBA.

The free dictionary defines the role of a DBA as:

A database administrator (DBA) is a person who is responsible for the environmental aspects of a database. In general, these include:

• Recoverability - Creating and testing Backups
• Integrity - Verifying or helping to verify data integrity
• Security - Defining and/or implementing access controls to the data
• Availability - Ensuring maximum uptime
• Performance - Ensuring maximum performance given budgetary constraints
• Development and testing support - Helping programmers and engineers to efficiently utilize the database.

In most organizations, the database administrator and data administrator are one and the same; however, when the two responsibilities are managed separately, the database administrator's function is more technical.

What makes The DBA Group's team different from the others? Simple. We are committed to value. We bring a whole team of DBA's experience to every engagement. This means you get the value of experts who have worked with Oracle, SQL Server, and MySQL. It means you have access to a community of knowledge that holds certifications such as Oracle Master, OCP, SQL Server, and have on average 10 years paid professional database experience in real world environments.

Industry studies show 30% of US firms outsource DBA services. Why is that? The cost for one DBA to be trained and certified on Oracle 10g costs approximately $21,000 in tuition alone. Once completed, ComputerWorld reports that a DBA requires $5,000 per year in training to stay current in technology. Once trained a DBA's marketability increases and TechRepublic says that a DBA will change jobs every 4 years. Outsourcing your DBA needs eliminates these costs and risks from your business. That's why our customers continue to enjoy the value and security of using our services.
