SERVICES

Not every consultant is for every client.  As such, please contact us for a risk-free consultation.

Analysis of Environment
We can provide an assessment of your current database systems, overall processes, design, architecture, future needs and the business drivers and provide an analysis of areas where you are doing well and areas where there could be potential risks due to road blocks, technical limitations or simple gotcha's.  Many of our clients have found this to be an invaluable tool to augment their current teams.

Performance Tuning
It has often been said that you must first have performance before it can be tuned.  However, it can also be said that in the vacuum of non-activity there can be neither.  All of that to say that database performance issues are not always from the same cause.  And even those which are can often have a different effect.  Our success in this area has revolved around understanding that while there is always a science to database technologies there also exists the art and creativity of an elegant, simple and functional data design.

Data Architecture
While your data is unique to you, the majority of your data is shared with many other organizations in the world.  Understanding these models, their shared attributes and the meta-data associated to your data is critical to maintaining an understanding of your company and its data.  This is becoming more and more evident in the world of Business Intelligence (BI) with terms such as KPI's now commonplace among executives and developers alike.

Database Design
The importance of database design is often overlooked in many organizations today. We can help to evaluate the requirement and design an elegant, simple and understood database design that will have the flexibility to adapt yet the conformity to be depended upon.

Best Practices - Standards - Processes
There are many options in this space.  The most important is that only one is in practice and that everyone knows what it is, why it is important and is capable of playing within it's bounds.
