Poor performance of key application functions will adversely
effect user acceptance levels. For internal systems,
underperformance will also detrimentally effect user
productivity. For just
£1200 ($1875
US, 1900 Euros), our consultants
will complete the following tasks:
+ Monitoring of
database, instance, application and environment performance
+ Identification of
performance bottlenecks
+ Investigation of user
reports of slow system performance
+ Identification,
documentation and resolution of causes of performance
bottlenecks
+ Scheduling of any
tasks required to ensure that performance issues do not return
+ Knowledge transfer of
techniques used during the tuning exercise
+ Full documentation of
all tasks performed
Our tuning exercises usually result in significant performance
improvements across your entire application, and resolution of
specific performance issues identified
Extra
information :
In 1995 a new technology was making its way across the Atlantic
to the UK, that technology was Oracle Database. Right from the beginning
we knew this technology would make a great impact on the way
organizations provided applications to their employees.
Technology, as we all know, never stands still
that's why Data Migrations Ltd as a company is always looking to
the future, ensuring our customers are informed of emerging
technologies like Oracle Database. We aim to prolong the longevity of
your business by providing you with the knowledge needed to
stay that one step ahead of the competition. Solutions designed
5 years ago may indeed have been successful, productive investments
but unfortunately do not now serve the needs of your business.
By making smaller, more frequent changes and adapting to the
information technology climate can prevent loss of productivity
and the inevitable peaks & valleys in IT capital expenditure.
The ability to understand a customer's problem
and subsequently the ability to solve a customer's problem is
really where Data Migrations Ltd excel. Our team consists of experienced
professionals who have worked within the server based computing
industry for many years, the founders of the company themselves
were integral members of one of Oracle Database' Platinum partners and
prior to that Oracle Databases Distributors.
The Internet really is changing the way we
all do business. With growing congestion isn't it time we paused
to ask why we travel to a single location to work? Data Migrations Ltd firmly believes in "The Virtual Workplace", the
benefits to your company far out way the capital cost of implementing
such technology. As Oracle Databases proclaimed in a recent presentation,
"work should be something you do, not somewhere you go".
In the short time that Data Migrations Ltd has been established we
have built up an enviable client list by any measure. Our customers
include some of the biggest names in the country. We currently
provide secure web support services to companies such as some
of the large corporate companies.
Data Migrations Ltd offer high-level consultancy
services for Oracle Databases or server based computing infrastructures.
It is always key when implementing a new IT component to ask
how it will integrate with existing systems. Our consultants
hold years of experience within the IT industry and are able
to illustrate the potential advantages or problems when considering
server based computing. Whether you have an existing Oracle
Databases infrastructure that needs fine-tuning & support or looking
to develop a server based computing infrastructure, Data Migrations Ltd can help
From proof of concept to production reality
Data Migrations Ltd can provide you with a service second to none.
Design, planning & implementation are controlled by a single
Project Manager. It is our Project Managers job to ensure that
you, the customer, are always informed at every step of implementation.
All of our Project Managers hold at least CCA (Oracle
Databases Certified
Administrator).
After a successful implementation you will want to know that
should anything go wrong you have someone to turn to.
Many companies find it difficult to track
every application that is in use on their networks. Over looking
licensing can be a costly mistake to make especially if you
should fall foul of FAST (Federation Against Software Theft).
Data Migrations Ltd can provide a licensing consultant to review
your legality and provide you with a license audit report.
Server based system health checks & audits
can be used to exploit the maximum performance from your existing
application servers. Many installations can be improved by applying
best practices and fine-tuning common system services. Health
checks & audits typically require a single day of data collection
followed by an additional day of corrective technical consultancy
Data Migrations Ltd has invested hugely in the
development of a web-based support system. In many organizations
telephone based support is administered by non-technical personnel
who log the call and pass on information to a qualified technical
consultant. Experience tells us that in these situations it
is quite common to encounter the "Chinese whisper"
effect, where all the relevant technical information is not
obtained or has got lost in the message relay process. Ultimately
this ends up with the customer having to explain again the fault
to a consultant before any progress is made.
Web based support offers a direct link to one
of our Oracle Databases Certified Administrators providing near instant
email confirmation that the call has been logged with Data Migrations Ltd support and a relevant log number attached. Customers are
able to view the progress of their call through a personalized SSL 128 bit encrypted area providing information such as; which
consultant the call has been assigned to, whether the call has
been escalated to Oracle Databases or Microsoft, how long the call has
been open, a resolution to the call with historical knowledge
base.
Our Web based support contract allows you unlimited
web based access to our consultants. Typically customers who
purchase this kind of support have a person or team that are
responsible for the day-to-day administration of their IT infrastructure.
They are conversant with most basic admin duties such as printer/drive
mapping and only need to call when an issue arises to which
they have no knowledge. On-site support is available and charged
on an hourly basis.
In addition to the unlimited web based support described above,
we can offer on-site technical assistance days. At the time
of implementation the number of days can be agreed with you
and those days can be used for any IT support issue or system
enhancement, for example, we may attend site to carry out a
preventative maintenance visit, installing the latest service
releases of products and generally inspecting the systems for
problems that could arise. Alternatively a
new product could be released by Oracle Databases and you may want to
use a technical day to install the product.
Finally, this type of support allows your company
to budget, the unpredictability of IT costs is one we have all
experienced!
What is your typical strategy for tuning an installation?
A: Our strategy will depend on your circumstances.
However, we typically gather a number of key performance
measurements, both at system and database level. These are used
in conjunction with user and support staff testimony (where
available and appropriate) to identify the main high-level
bottlenecks. We then drill down using custom scripts and
standard tools to identify the sources of these bottlenecks,
before devising solutions to eliminate them.
Q: A specific part of our application is performing particularly
badly. Can you fix it?
A: We will always concentrate first on tuning any
functionality identified by the client as causing most problems.
In the vast majority of cases you will see a marked performance
improvement in those areas when we have finished.
Q: If you find inefficient code in our applications, can you
rewrite it?
A: If the code is stored within the database as PL/SQL,
we can amend the code on request (but you should check the
support implications for 3rd party products). We will not amend
client-side code, but will document inefficiencies so that you
can report these to your application vendor for amendment.
Q: Do you provide warranties for any amendments done?
A: We provide two weeks of free remote support for any
work done.
Q: When can we expect documentation for the tasks performed?
A: We typically write up the tasks performed within one
week of the tuning exercise. You are guaranteed to have a
hard-copy of the documentation within two weeks of work
completion.
Q: We require an installation to be tuned for our clients. Do
you offer resales/subcontracts?
A: Yes. We can rebadge our services, or can pay a one-off
commission.
Q: Can you independently verify a client's installation as fit
for production?
A: Yes, this is one of our more commonly-requested
services. Contact us for details.
Q: How can we be sure of your credentials?
A: We have been tuning Oracle databases and environments
for our clients since 1999, and company references are available
on request.
Q: What are your payment terms?
A: We invoice after the tuning exercise has been
completed and you are in possession of our full documentation.
Payment is due within 30 days of the invoice date
