Oracle Database administration and integration
We keep Oracle databases healthy: upgrades rehearsed before they reach production, performance traced to its cause, and backups that are proven by restore tests. We also connect Oracle-based systems with SAP and other applications and move data between them reliably.
What you get
- Backups and recovery tested, not assumed
- Performance problems traced to their cause
- Oracle data available to SAP and reporting tools
- Migrations validated record by record
Is this for you?
Your version is out of support
The database runs on a release Oracle no longer supports, and the upgrade keeps being postponed.
Nobody owns the database
There is no in-house DBA, and the system only gets attention when something breaks.
Backups are untested
Backups run, but nobody has proven that a restore works.
Applications have become slow
Screens and batch jobs take longer every year, and the cause is unknown.
An Oracle upgrade, step by step
Every step is rehearsed before the production database changes.
Before
Review
Version, size, applications and backups are checked.
Rehearsal
Upgrade a copy
The upgrade runs first on a copy of production.
Test
Test the applications
The applications on the database are tested against the copy.
Cutover
Upgrade production
The production upgrade runs in a planned window.
After
Tune and protect
Performance is checked, and backups and recovery are tested again.

What the cost depends on
- Number and size of databases
- Which applications run on them
- One-off project or ongoing administration
- Whether a standby database is needed
Frequently asked questions
- Can you administer our database remotely?
- Yes. We administer Oracle Database remotely, as an ongoing service or for a defined project.
- How do you make sure backups work?
- We set up RMAN backups and, where needed, a standby database, and we test restores instead of assuming they work.
- How do you find the cause of slow performance?
- We analyse the database’s own performance data, such as AWR and ASH reports, to find the queries and waits behind the slowdown.
- Can Oracle data reach SAP and our reporting tools?
- Yes. We build integrations between Oracle-based systems and SAP or other applications, and Power BI can report on Oracle data.
