Decades of experience has taught us the important practices and procedures to follow when installing an Oracle or Microsoft Database. By putting this experience into practice, the cost of implementing a database solution can be substantially reduced and increase integrity and availability of the database from the beginning.

Database recovery can be nuanced and unforgiving. The cost of implementing a database backup and recovery solution can be substantially reduced if implemented correctly the first time. The majority of time required to implement a dependable backup and recovery solution is expended in the testing phase. Performing much of this testing remotely reduces hours typically necessary for a professional to spend with the database. These time savings translate to lower total costs of implementation with RMS.
