Expert Data Admin Services: The Benefits and Considerations

The primary role of data admin services is to take a technical solution and tailor it to ensure it works for the client in a way that meets the organization’s overall technology strategy and wider business goals. With more and more technology solutions being purpose-built for the business side of the B2B house, there is a very fine line between plug-and-play and the need for a little assist from time to time. 

After all, even Steph Curry needs an assist from time to time! 

Whichever business unit you sit in – marketing, sales, finance, or any other – you are likely adopting a technology in the hopes of accelerating growth and making you and your teams more efficient. However, oftentimes business units are not experts in the technology they are adopting, nor do they need to be to be successful. Instead, revenue teams should be focused on, once again, efficiency and growth. 

Let’s take data for instance. Are all marketers or sales people experts on data, or data hygiene, or data automation, or data governance? The answer is no! 

So, let’s explore what many companies are doing to adopt the most forward-thinking technologies while also leaning on their tech partners to squeeze the most value out of these technologies. 

The Power of Knowledge

Consider for a moment the rise of the Salesforce Admin. Twenty-five years ago, a Salesforce Admin simply was not a thing. But, with the rise of the CRM and the crowning of Salesforce as the king of all CRMs, the need for business units to manage and optimize Salesforce became paramount. Businesses adopted Salesforce at a wild clip, and they realized quickly that they were not able to get the most out of their Salesforce purchase due to a significant knowledge and process gap.

As time went on and technology advanced, many SaaS companies developed similar solutions. In many cases, these solutions significantly helped with growth and efficiency, while also requiring very little engagement in the solutions itself. But some innovations in the data space, however “no code” they may be, can be even more powerful when managed by an expert. A data enthusiast, similar to a Salesforce Admin, can advance your data strategy with speed and accuracy. 

But, relying on internal data experts to fill that gap is not just costly. It also slows down deliverability due to competing priorities. Data knowledge is power, but the right strategy is what produces results and allows for you to expand your expectations and outcomes. 

Managing the Complexities of Data Management

Data management solutions are a perfect example to lean into. Solutions like Vertify recognize the absolute need for innovative data management, but they also understand that at this stage in the game, B2B revenue teams should not have to be experts in data management alongside their core specialized go-to-market skills. In an era dominated by data-driven strategies, go-to-market teams are often stifled by a centralized, internal approach where a single data team becomes a bottleneck, or they themselves are forced to become data experts. As management needs answers, the internal data team is inundated with operational challenges like data cleanup, maintaining pipelines. and knowledge acquisition of systems, tools, and data sets.

In the beginning, Vertify set out to build a solution that could be set up and maintained by the business side of the house. They recognized the need to put the power of data management and lead management into the hands of the business users, but they also understood that they would have to remain as the data experts for their customers so that their customers could realize the extended and elastic value of Vertify. 

After all, data management is not a “set it and forget it” task; it is something that, if managed well and with ongoing effort, can – and should – trigger sustainable and predictable growth. As predicted, marrying an innovative and necessary solution like Vertify with a Data Expert Admin Service has been a big win for both Vertify customers and Vertify alike.

Final Thoughts

As solutions for revenue teams are developed, many will be simple enough to deploy with little concern of ongoing value creation. But, there are others that deserve continued focus so that businesses realize the true potential of their solution set. Solutions like Vertify offer extreme value, because typically the initial use case that customers come to Vertify for is just the tip of the iceberg of what Vertify can do. Solutions like Vertify that expand beyond the initial use case are extreme value-drivers for customers, but only if customers can squeeze that value out of the solution. 

When companies in the data space offer additional data services that can be buckled onto the technology license, it’s almost always wise to invest in those services. Otherwise, you risk either not getting the most out of the solutions you’ve purchased, or having to hire internal resources at 10x the cost to get the most out of your investment.

If you’re looking to unlock the true potential of your data, Vertify and the experts behind the solution might just be the key you’ve been searching for.
