A managed service plan can ease the burden of data maintenance and optimization

Once you’ve successfully navigated your company through the transition to a modern data stack, the hard part should be over.
Your data is now accessible in a cloud-based environment, and your teams gain insights from best-in-class business intelligence software. Once you know the ropes surrounding upkeep and support issues, your organization is off and running, right?
In theory, yes. But in reality, a sustainable data-driven business doesn’t come together so easily. Any consultants you hire to facilitate your migration to a modern data program will incorporate training into their implementation process. But where your business and its data go from there is ultimately up to you.
Without the skills or budget to dedicate toward managing your new data platform, you may not know where to turn. Maybe you have an analytics team that can interpret your data, but they’re not experts with your new tools. Consequently, you face loads of questions about how to move forward with your data, when the whole reason behind your modernization effort was to provide your business with answers.
If you have access to your data but lack the necessary maintenance, support, and optimization, your analytics goals will suffer. However, with our managed service offering, the long-term solution you need is now within reach.
How managed service saves your organization time and money
Once your organization has a new data platform, you have to ensure it receives the appropriate organizational support. After teaming with DAS42, some companies progress to building out their internal teams. But even your ability to assemble a new team is no guarantee of success.
As much as our FullStack approach is built on setting a good foundation and accelerating your implementation efforts, your organization may not always be best served by taking on multiple new hires. If you have the budget capacity to bring on employees to support your data platform, hiring new analysts isn’t always a guarantee that you’ll find the immediate help you need.
Analytics professionals may know data science and how to generate an SQL query, but they might not specialize in your specific tools. A complete modern data stack requires the seamless interaction of multiple technologies. Without the right level of experience, your new hires may have difficulty choosing from the many similar-sounding software tools at their disposal.
Plus, if yours is a smaller or mid-level organization, you face an even bigger challenge to hire the specialists your new infrastructure needs. Skilled data professionals are hard to find, expensive to hire, and difficult to retain. Managing your storage and analytics platforms is critical. But the effort ultimately falls outside the core functions of your business.
After all, it’s difficult and risky to try and reinvent the wheel when it comes to securing a return on investment from your modernization initiative. Instead, you can rely on the experts in establishing an effective data stack to maintain its performance within your organization.
