Flexible Resource Management: Key to Successful DX in Businesses

The Importance of Flexible Resource Management in DX

Digital Transformation (DX) has become a crucial focus for businesses seeking to optimize their operations and decision-making processes. According to a recent report by the Information-Technology Promotion Agency (IPA), companies that have successfully embraced DX are significantly better at using cross-departmental operational data to enhance decision-making and drive improvements. Conversely, businesses struggling with DX often face a fragmented data landscape, where information is siloed across systems and departments, inhibiting effective utilization.

One prevalent challenge for approximately 60% of businesses involved in the report is the difficulty in securing skilled personnel to manage data infrastructure effectively. Many companies reveal that existing data management systems are inadequate, or legacy systems are not designed to support modern data utilization requirements. These issues hint at deeper structural problems within the organizations, often stemming from a lack of investment in necessary resources.

For companies operating on legacy systems, such as on-premises enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, these challenges are even more pronounced. As a result of consistently relying on outdated systems, organizations struggle to develop a robust data management framework. The performance and security of critical databases—essential to protecting intellectual property—are often compromised due to insufficient resources.

The External Factors Compounding the Challenges

The complexities of the modern business landscape mean that a myriad of companies utilize unique IT systems. Unfortunately, with these systems come an equal number of database servers, each requiring specialized oversight. Most organizations acknowledge the necessity for expert Database Administrators (DBAs) yet find it increasingly challenging to find qualified talent. The declining number of skilled Oracle database professionals combined with an influx of poorly maintained databases poses significant risks.

Common Issues for On-Premises ERP Users

Businesses still utilizing on-premises ERP systems often grapple with several shared challenges:

- Difficulty in Securing DBAs: There is a noticeable decrease in qualified personnel who specialize in critical database components Linked to popular ERP systems like Oracle. This shortage diminishes internal operational capabilities and complicates rapid responses to issues that need immediate resolution.
- Reliance on Individuals: Over time, maintenance procedures and database configurations become too dependent on single employees, leading to a lack of continuity and discoverability across teams. Preserving institutional knowledge in the face of turnover becomes a daunting challenge.
- Performance Degradation and Tuning Concerns: While application stability may improve, the database side often suffers due to increased workloads and processing times, necessitating more efficient solutions than are often available.
- Cloud Migration vs. Current Environment Maintenance: Businesses need to maintain stable operations while preparing for cloud migration, ultimately seeking a strategy to improve current setups without compromising ongoing productivity.

In light of these issues, companies like Ventury PerfCare are stepping in to alleviate the burden by offering specialized support aimed at tackling the intricacies of ERP and Oracle Database management. Their approach emphasizes breaking reliance on individual knowledge, optimizing performance, and standardizing operations to build a more resilient operational framework.

New Service Launch: Ticket-Based Management for Oracle DB

On January 22, 2026, Ventury Consulting will launch a ticket-based operational management service for Oracle databases in JD Edwards (JDE) environments. This service allows companies to engage expert engineers for tasks ranging from routine inquiries and operational standardization to immediate troubleshooting—all organized through a flexible ticketing system.

By outsourcing operational and maintenance functions, organizations can balance limited human resources and budgets while stabilizing their legacy environments and enabling time for data optimization and DX initiatives.

Features of the New Service

Unlike traditional fixed monthly contracts, this ticket system fosters flexibility, allowing businesses to respond dynamically to variations in workload. Experienced Oracle Database engineers will support operational optimization without necessarily being stationed on-site.

Support Framework

Ventury's expert consultants serve as dedicated points of contact, promoting a clear understanding of client environments and swiftly addressing concerns via phone or email, with remote access options for in-depth assistance.

Conclusion

Despite the ongoing delay in adopting cloud solutions, with over 60% of ERP-implementing companies still operating on-premises, the demand for skilled personnel and modern technical capabilities remains acute.
