Leverage Technology During Staffing Shortages

 

COVID-19, lack of applicants, staff resigning in the current political climate… no matter what the reason is, companies are faced with the fact that business does not stop, and the staffing shortage issue must be mitigated. Add the complexities of specific technical education, training, and experience required to fill technology roles, and a hiring manager is faced with some important decisions. One of the quickest mitigation measures to this issue is to open up the remote working flexibility and widen the geographical location for applicants. This can, however, raise more problems with workforce management for managers. In the case of SQL Server/Database Administrators this can work, but is this the optimal solution? The next best mitigation measure is to leverage technology that provides a workforce multiplier and raises the level of expertise of existing Technology Department staff.

The average annual compensation for a seasoned and experienced SQL Server/Database Administrator is approximately $90,000/year with an additional HR Overhead of $27,000/year totaling $117,000/year. With SQL Assure™ Enterprise Solution, a central dashboard, monitoring, audit, and reporting enterprise platform that keeps all aspects of your SQL Server deployments in an optimized configuration as well as in Regulatory Compliance makes this a prime mitigation measure to the staffing shortage dilemma. The barrier to entry for SQL Assure™ Enterprise Solution is extremely low for small, medium, and large companies and organizations with the first Seat License priced at $9,500. If your company HR is recruiting for one SQL Server Database Administrator, the Return on Investment is considerable with the cost of one Seat License of SQL Assure™ Enterprise Solution being $9,500 and the hire of a new SQL Database Administrator at $117,000. That is a savings of $107,500. The clear choice is to leverage the technology.
