database specialist

RANGE OF ROLES: Data modeller, developer, administrator.

Information can be an organisation's greatest asset. And many organisations in every sector employ database specialists to manage their information assets. A private company needs to know who its customers are and what items it has sold to them. That information needs to be tracked continually and protected against intrusion. In the public sector database specialists play a vital role in areas such as health, social welfare, economic forecasting and planning, and regulatory compliance.
