Database Development and Design

Drive your database to meet technical and business requirements

Capitalize on our extensive experience in the planning and implementation of database projects that satisfy both technical and business requirements. Although database consulting companies may hint at a way to proceed, our DBA experts seamlessly integrate themselves into your organization. They learn the inner workings of your company and develop a practical solution ideal for your environment and business goals. With Reporteq, you will save the time and money required to develop a new database project plan, as well as avoid the pitfalls of new implementations, along with the assurance that your company’s individual requirements are satisfied.

All database projects are individual. They require an in-depth understanding of both the project and the database environment. Project assignments can range from subsections of a larger project to all-encompassing departmental initiatives. They can be driven by application needs or developmental efforts, forecast strategically or by an immediate and unexpected need. No matter what the requirement, we offer support that can react to, plan and implement any type of DBA project.

Database Assessment Services

Expert optimization of your database:

Database assessment services allow you to execute your efforts with precision and confidence. A baseline is an important starting point for everyone when future plans take shape. Our database assessment is that baseline.

The wide range of work that our senior-level database administrators do on an everyday basis makes us the perfect choice to perform a detailed database analysis of your SQL Server, Oracle, Oracle E-Business Suite, MySQL, DB2, or MongoDB environment. Whether you have a small environment that’s a one day job, or a wide scale installation calls for multiple experts and months of work, Reporteq is the company to look to for significant insights, immediate and ongoing database suggestions, optimization recommendations and information on alternative approaches to your environment.

A typical Database Assessment includes:
 

Before an assessment begins, we interview all staff members who design and implement changes to your database environment. During this phase, Reporteq reviews:

• Current environment details that include usage peaks and valleys, concurrent sessions, index usage, and much more
• Backup and fault tolerance strategy
• Platform and hardware details
• Information on supported applications
• Security measures
• Recent problem history
• Running of database tools and scripts to analyze data and report on blockage, I/O contention, offending queries, long-running queries, and much more

 

When the interviews are complete we document and analyze everything we learn. Please be aware that we may need additional remote database access to your environment, in compliance with your security policies, to complete the assessment.

Your finished database assessment provides:
 

• A detailed examination of your existing database environment
• Recommendations to improve your current physical and virtual database environment, as well as make it more efficient
• Performance improvement recommendations for your current database environment
• Recommendations on disas

 

Database Consulting

Get improved database performance from proactive database tuning and optimization.

Database tuning isn’t a skill that every database administrator has mastered. It’s vital that your DBA has extensive experience in effective database tuning and optimization within complex IT environments. It pays to realize that various designs, configurations and usages can have a significant impact on the performance of your database, as well as your earnings.

Proactive database tuning is critical to Reporteq best practices and an important advantage we offer over our competitors. When you work with our DBAs, you can go far beyond the limits of reactive tuning. Our approach to quality service is based on ongoing suggestions, testing and implementation of tuning changes to your database, server or instance. This allows your in-house database team to address other priorities.

Reporteq provides tuning services for both extended, ongoing needs, as well as short-term or immediate requirements. Short-term tuning may require adjustment of statements, reports, jobs, backups, or materialized views. Reporteq proactive tuning includes database utilization, license optimization, ETL loading, clustering, log shipping, replication jobs, or preproduction work. Reporteq database tuning expertise can ensure that your database is optimized for performance and smooth running in these instances and many more.
