Frequently Asked Questions
Is an Oracle Support Service truly cheaper than using an in-house resource?
Most of the time yes, especially if you need support 24x7. Typically 30% cheaper than in-house options.
Accreditations are all well and good, but how do you guarantee the quality of service?
Our SLAs don't just focus on Break/Fix. Talk to us about our pro-active analytics and meaningful visual metrics which demonstrate the difference we are making over time.
Legacy support is straightforward, but how do you support Oracle databases in cloud environments?
Our support systems are platform agnostic. In our opinion delivering a successful support service comes down to a well-planned service take-on; we spend more time than most in getting things right from the start. We also have in-house labs to ensure we can recreate the new problems that cloud infrastructures pose.
