Introduction

In the digital age, effectively managing your SQL Server has never been more critical. You might think that employing a full-time Database Administrator (DBA) is the only way to go, but have you considered outsourcing SQL Server management to a specialized Managed Services Provider (MSP) like us, Stedman Solutions? Below we will delve into why opting for our services could be a more economical and equally effective choice for your business.

Cost Benefits

Economies of Scale

We specialize in offering SQL Server services, possessing the necessary infrastructure and expertise to provide these services more economically. By spreading the costs of personnel and specialized tools across multiple clients, we offer top-notch services at a fraction of the price you would incur with an in-house DBA.

Predictable Costs

One of the standout benefits of partnering with us is the predictable cost structure. Typically billed as a flat monthly fee, it becomes significantly easier for your business to budget expenses without worrying about the variable costs of maintaining an in-house team.

Reduced Labor Costs

Recruiting a full-time DBA involves not just a substantial salary but also benefits, training, and additional HR costs. We provide all the SQL Server management services your business needs at a fraction of these costs.

No Training Costs

We have a team of certified experts already trained in the latest SQL Server technologies and best practices. This eliminates the ongoing training costs you would incur to keep an in-house DBA current.

Efficiency and Skill Level

Expertise on Demand

When you opt for Stedman Solutions, you get access to a team of SQL Server experts with a diverse set of skills. This collective knowledge base offers a level of service that is hard to match with a single, in-house DBA.

24/7 Monitoring

We offer round-the-clock monitoring services for your SQL Server. Achieving this level of dedicated oversight in-house would require multiple shifts, which would inflate your operational costs.

Quick Issue Resolution

Our team is available more than any one individual could be available, which means any issues with your SQL Server can usually be resolved quickly, minimizing downtime and maintaining business continuity.

Compliance and Security

We have extensive experience in managing the latest security protocols and compliance regulations. Rest assured, your SQL Server will not only perform efficiently but will also meet the highest industry standards for security and compliance.

Flexibility and Scalability

Easy Scaling

We offer flexible service models that can adapt to your business’s evolving needs, be it scaling up or down.

Focus on Core Business

By outsourcing SQL Server management to us, your in-house team can concentrate on driving your core business functions, something they are probably best at.

Risk Mitigation

Business Continuity

We provide robust disaster recovery and backup solutions, ensuring your SQL Server remains up and running, even during unforeseen circumstances.
