The search for the right NetSuite support can be overwhelming, with various options ranging from in-house IT to a managed services provider (MSP).  In our recent webinar, Know Your Options With Your NetSuite Support, we discussed the five most common NetSuite support options on the market and  answered a lot of great questions from our audience. 

With data being the lifeblood of your business, it’s crucial for every organization to keep well-managed databases. Having the right database management skills and the diligence of following best practices for the proper maintenance and optimization of its databases strongly impacts the overall health of an entire organization.  The knowledge and skills your organization’s database administrators must possess are crucial in facilitating the health, availability, and performance of a database. Since DBAs are required to consistently optimize database performance and handle any situation that may arise, they must be diligent in following best practices for database management.

Like most transformations, a business does not simply become a digital powerhouse overnight. It takes commitment, planning, teamwork, and time — sometimes several years — to evolve into a truly digital-first organization.

Every day you may juggle a laundry list of urgent IT initiatives to keep your business moving forward. It’s inevitable that certain tasks will be prioritized, others will be pushed off, and some will possibly be lost in the mix. Unfortunately, for some organizations the support for their JD Edwards system all too often falls into this last category, and failure to find reliable resources and the proper JDE ERP support can have serious repercussions.

Is there anything worse than finding out everyone else knew something before you did? No one likes being out of the loop. And in the case of database management, the things your database administrators (DBAs) don’t know can be bad news for your business-critical IT and your organization as a whole. That’s why DBAs must stay on top of emerging database management trends — or they run the risk of falling behind on critical technological and tactical industry updates.  

During this age of continuous digital transformation, the pace of technological advancement has completely changed many aspects of database management. We’ve previously opined (on more than one occasion) on the evolving role of the database administrator (DBA) as databases move to the cloud and  processes move toward automation. 

Your SQL Server database is the foundation of your ERP solution, supporting the applications that power your business with solid data and storage. Those databases are filled with critical data for your corporation — irreplaceable business history, intelligence, and all the data your business needs to maintain the overall health of your company. Keeping them organized and running smoothly is integral to all of your organization’s daily functions and requires meticulous database management. 

In-house support for mission-critical technology like your NetSuite ERP solution may sound like a dream in theory, but in practice it can be a nightmare if you don’t have the full support you need. To fully optimize your NetSuite solution, your support needs to go well beyond just daily admin to include a mix of admin, functional, and developer roles.

Every CIO knows that well-managed databases are the unsung heroes of the business world. When database management is done well, it’s practically imperceivable, so it can be a thankless task, but database management (done well) is the lifeblood that keeps any organization performing at its best.
