For any business-related entity, be it public or private, database management is one of the greatest concerns. All of the information that a company possesses – including personnel and salary information, and project-related data – must be stored, organized, secured, and managed. Because administrative personnel often have little experience with creating databases, and because they typically have other pressing concerns, companies like Business Connexion in South Africa provide database management services for companies of all sizes. By hiring a third party to perform tasks related to database management, businesses can ensure that they will have time to focus on other important tasks related to the running of their company.Business Connexion offers a variety of services related to database management. They offer computing services to companies who are looking to expand their processing capacity, or have new units installed, and they own a Tier IV Design-Certified Data Centre. Persetel Q Vector is Business Connexion's data centre specialist, and they help companies transform their data centres to meet the increasing demands of a connected world, while becoming more cost-effective and lowering their bottom line.

Persetel Q Vector is able to partner with other well-known leaders in the data centre industry - such as IBM, Sun Microsystems, Symantec and HP - to ensure that their clients receive the best technology and service for their businesses. In addition to ensuring that a client's hardware is state-of-the-art and able to meet the demands of their company, Business Connexion also offers Data Centre Operations Services, with dedicated and experienced staff who monitor daily operations within the Data Centre and ensure that it is running smoothly. Many of the problems that occur with database management stem from the fact that older data centres were built on the idea of ensuring rapid application deployment and departmentalized accountability. They were constructed in a compartmental fashion, and there was no uniformity among the systems and technology. While it served many companies well at the time, as technology advances, these siloed systems make it increasingly difficult (and expensive) for companies to maintain the systems, and to share and access data. Business Connexion's solution to this problem is to provide database management tools that allow companies to make their existing data centres useful. Because a company's data is one of its most important assets (and can be highly dangerous if it falls into the wrong hands), Business Connexion's database management services includes data protection.

They also offer backup and recovery of a client's database, for additional security, and their knowledgeable and experienced staff tune and remotely monitor the database software, and offer technical support to users and staff. Business Connexion was founded over thirty years ago, and has since grown to become one of the premier providers of information and communications technology (ICT) and database management services. They are based in South Africa, but provide ICT services to the top forty JSE companies, and their client base is steadily expanding into Africa and Europe. They boast top-level certification with many of the world's leading ICT suppliers, and their mission is to provide each client with a solution that will be cost-effective, secure and reliable.
