but does team have 1 IT/ data person?

Edit: sorry I see that you are the same person I was replying to. Then to understand it better, who is consumer of so vast amount of data?

The company has 1 IT person and uses a third-party vendor for IT support. We have several data engineers and scientists, but we are not specialists as DBA or cloud infrastructure; it's just one very small part of our work.
