This is a great time to be involved in the ever-changing world of data and analytics. It’s fast-paced and exciting, with new technologies and solutions continuing to alter the landscape. As database technology continues to experience dramatic and constant improvements, data warehousing responsibilities have undergone a similar evolution to keep pace.
While a lot has been written about the role data scientists play in turning data insights into opportunities, database administrators (DBAs) also provide significant contributions to the business. This progression has resulted in the extensive metamorphosis of their job.
In the past, the position was primarily administrative and straightforward. Today, there’s no such thing as a typical daily routine. Rapidly changing data solutions and business needs place new demands on DBAs. As a result, they now have a strategic role in the organization, often working closely with management to make sure operations deliver enhanced value.
