Disconnect between increased database complexity and understaffed data teams

on


We live now in a data-driven age where vast streams of unmatched data are generated in real-time. Data comes from mobile devices, sensors, wearable, networks, servers, machines, apps and more. 

This momentum is at the core of various challenges related to increased database complexity, understaffed data teams, limited funding, and lack of skills, privacy and security, lack of awareness, to name a few. 

According to the results of IDERA’s market survey of data professionals on database lifecycle management (DLM),while some companies initiate DLM programs and realize significant benefits, limited funding and upper management buy-in can reduce benefits. 

The survey reveals that, companies need more database talent, resources and expertise to manage growing data complexity. 

One can also observe that, companies already see a range of tangible business benefits, including improved data systems uptime, increased data availability, increased data confidence, accelerated data delivery, more predictable IT expenses, and faster and more frequent application delivery. 
 
 “We’ve always known data professionals consistently must do more with less, but we also thought policy makers and budget owners understood the importance of data to their businesses and would invest appropriately,” said Heidi Farris, chief marketing officer at IDERA.
