Economic downturns often result in operating at reduced staffing levels with the need for optimizing efficiency and effectiveness. Outsourcing portions of your data management functions to external experts can result in substantial savings without the loss of access to data or operational efficiency.
Outsourcing data management functions not only can ensure that they are carried out and managed by specialists but it gives you the flexibility to scale the services as your requirements change over time without the need to add to headcount internally. Outsourced data management services can be provided remotely further providing savings associated with software licensing, server hardware and data center infrastructure.

Data Entry
Data Entry is a time consuming, overhead impacting though necessary function that requires accuracy and organized processes. Coordinated with other data functions, data entry is often a function that is very conducive to being outsourced, being conducted not in real time and due to its lack of predictability, it is difficult to staff for using in-house resources.
Technology Migration
Technology Migration in the database world requires planning, mindful analysis of options/trade-offs needs careful understanding and coordination of staff skill sets. Technology migration is often delayed due to other higher priorities or lack of in-house expertise. The migration from legacy databases to more modern versions and/or from multiple databases to a single corporate standard can offer substantial benefits of both a tactical and a strategic nature.
