database and environment tuning package
Poor database and application performance costs money through reduced user productivity. Performance shortfalls also detrimentally affect users' perceptions of applications. For just £1200 ($2205 US, €1740), 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 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 tasks performed
Our tuning packages deliver significant performance improvements in the vast majority of cases. Please contact us for details.

frequently asked questions
Q: What is your usual strategy for tuning a database and its environment?
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 my 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 normally amend other code, but will document the inefficiencies (and can provide details of how these pieces of code could be better rewritten) so that you can report these to the vendor for amendment.
Q: Do you provide warranties for any amendments done?
A: We provide two weeks of free remote support for any changes made.
Q: Which Oracle database versions can you tune?
A: We can tune all versions of Oracle.
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 copy of the documentation within two weeks of work completion.
Q: We require an installation to be tuned for our client. 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. Please contact us for further details.
Q: How can we be sure of your credentials?
A: We have been tuning Oracle databases and environments for our clients since 1996, and company references are available on request.
 Q: What are your payment terms?
A: We invoice after work has been completed and you are in possession of our documentation. Payment is due within 30 days of the invoice date.
