Lyla D. Hamilton of the Boulder County Business Report published an article titled “datAvail promises to keep databases running smoothly” . I am an angel investor in datAvail. Mike Jones, Myrle McNeal, and Andrew Morley are among my good friends who are involved in it. Lyla’s article does a great job explaining datAvail’s business model.
Here is what I like about the model:
- Administering databases is the business of datAvail. Nearly all companies need this service but self-providing it is outside their core business. Why not turn it over to a focused provider? datAvail’s customers can then focus internal IT resources on projects that are core to their business.
- datAvail uses a mix of onshore and offshore resources. This allows the more skilled work to be done in the U.S. by employees who are passionate about making datAvail a success. It also allows datAvail to achieve cost efficiencies by using lower cost offshore resources for more routine tasks.
Good luck datAvail. I look forward to 2009.
