Does Oracle outsourcing make sense?
Many small and midcap companies are
discovering that they do not require the services of a full-time Oracle database
administrator and they are seeking outsourcing solutions for their Oracle
database to obtain higher quality and cheaper costs. Read here why
Oracle offshoring makes sense
for many corporations. Oracle outsourcing also makes sense for
Oracle systems
development projects where you can get higher quality development at a lower
cost than in-house employees.
Oracle outsourcing from a
well-respected remote DBA provider
makes sense for many reasons:
- Oracle Outsourcing provides
on-demand support - With Oracle outsourcing you only pay for the
services that you need.
- Oracle Outsourcing assures
quality - By using a leading remote Oracle outsourcing provider you get
expert support from experienced, Oracle certified professionals.
- Oracle Outsourcing in the USA
protects your data - By choosing a leading USA Oracle outsourcing
provider you are protected by strict USA privacy and data security laws.
Caveats for Oracle outsourcing
There are many Oracle outsourcing
offering on the Internet, and many of these companies are frauds or scams to
steal data from unsuspecting outsourcing customers. It is highly
recommended that your Oracle outsourcing meet the following standards:
- Avoid Foreign Oracle
Outsourcing providers - Using an offshore outsourcing "bargain" is very
risky. Many foreign outsourcing firms are not bound by USA data
privacy and security laws and I've personally seen Oracle outsourcing
companies steal confidential data with impunity.
- Use the largest Oracle
outsourcing provider - BC Remote
DBA is the USA's largest independent Oracle outsourcing provider, a
trusted provider of expert Oracle outsourcing support.
- Verify outsourcing Credentials
- Make sure that your outsourced Oracle support is performed by an
Oracle Certified Professional (OCP).
- Avoid shady outsourcing providers -
Many Oracle outsourcing companies puff their
level of expertise.
Here we see a
remote DBA provider that claims to offer remote Oracle support experts, but
this publication by an Oracle ACE says that their Oracle outsourcing
"experts" are really
beginners:
"I have
taught hundreds of people how to administer Oracle during my career as
an Oracle instructor. I'm currently training two new folks at RemoteDBA
Experts".
Most reputable remote DBA providers
pride themselves on being honest and straightforward, but there are hundreds of
remote DBA providers advertising services on the web, some pf which appear to be
dishonest. For example, one foreign remote DBA provider openly discusses being
dishonest with Oracle Technical Support, a very bad idea:
“Well, in all honesty, I do find
myself telling Oracle support occasional “little white lie”. By nature, I am
a very truthful person, but I can imagine legitimate (or at least
justifiable) reasons to withhold certain details from Oracle Support.”
In sum, Oracle outsourcing makes sense
from both an expertise and accounting perspective but you must be careful to
choose a well-known and respected US remote DBA service.
