round-the-clock high quality services that keep their systems
running at a far lower price than available to them at present.
What is the client's need?
Frequently, companies have database applications that are
crucial to their daily operations. Some, such as e-commerce
websites, bring in a vital source of revenues. When these
databases are unavailable or simply performing slowly a
business's operations and revenues can be directly and immediately
affected. Often, the client has insufficient skills or in-house
staff to address these problems and relies on companies
like yours to help. Since problems can occur at any time,
the need for such skills can be 24/7.
Is managing databases your core business?
If your core business is developing advanced applications
for your clients, it is unlikely your skilled staff will
wish to spend their time on relatively mundane tasks like
managing the day-to-day performance and availability of
client databases. However, complex and critical client databases
need managing to keep the client happy. Why not use Optimacy
to do that, and thus allow your highly skilled database
development staff to concentrate on building new applications?

DBA Competency Centre is already highly experienced in servicing
existing clients using both MS SQL Server and Oracle databases.
And what about security?
Our services have been built with security of data in clients'
databases as the primary focus. We use Secure Sockets Lay
(SSL) to provide 128-bit encryption for all communications
between the client's database system and Optimacy IT infrastructure.
Our service also ensures that it does not access any unauthorized
data, as it only reads the metadata and business data remains
untouched, unless the client specifically requires and authorises
our staff to access business data.
Also, only specifically authorised members of Optimacy staff
and service providers will have access to the client's database
server, which would only be accessible through the Optimacy
secure portal.
