A recent Datamation report argues that, with the increasing importance of Big Data, companies should look to outsource the management of their databases.

As companies continue to collect huge volumes of data to glean insights on business decisions, some executives are struggling to manage the increasingly unwieldy operations on their own. As a result, the report suggests that Data Centre Outsourcing (DCO) is a valuable tool for businesses to utilise.

Datamation suggest the factors that will spur the uptake of third-party database management will include when in-house data management is too costly, when companies lack in-house expertise, when resources need to be freed up, when increased agility is needed and when regulatory compliance in required.
