Protect the Core of Your Technology Infrastructure— Protect Your Oracle Database

A Better Approach
Data acquisition, storage, analysis, and retrieval requirements have exploded in recent years. This explosion is placing a heavy burden on your company to ensure data integrity, high availability, and scalability. With data being central to every business decision, the Oracle database is at the core of your technology infrastructure and it must be protected around the clock.

With an understaffed and overstretched IT Department, the potential for burnout is at an all-time high while the demand for qualified DBAs is on the rise.

Finding the right level of expertise, support, and cost-effectiveness for database administration is an ongoing challenge for any company using Oracle technology. We have found that the myriad of technology and business issues are all too often forcing IT executives to either:

(a) Dedicate one or more high-priced and experienced Oracle database administrator(s) (DBAs) to the system; or
(b) Assign an inexperienced staff member as a part-time DBA.

Because managing your database system is critical to the success of your business, you are increasingly looking for solutions to better manage these environments. IT executives are now choosing a third option—

(c) Partner with a firm that specializes in Remote Database Administration (Remote DBA) or managed services.

Vendors and customers generally view Remote DBA services as outsourcing a core service. Database Specialists views this type of service as “Resourcing.” Our intent and approach is substantially different than Outsourcing. Outsourcing is where you often relinquish control and day-to-day responsibility of your database systems to a third party provider. With Resourcing, we are acting as your resource partner—an additional resource and extension of your technical team.

By developing a partnership with a well-respected Remote DBA services firm, you can augment your team with a firm that provides you with the services of highly qualified, certified, and hands on Oracle professionals. These technical experts work side-by-side with your staff in any number of capacities such as part-time, high demand/overflow, vacation, and full-time. Just as with full-time employees, the right partner working with your company gets to know your team, mission, clients, and IT infrastructure. They focus on what they do best—maximizing availability and performance while guiding your organization on database, technical, and strategic issues.

Here is a white paper that covers how we can help you solve the problems you may be facing with your Oracle database.
