Our Support
Our support offers the following benefits:
Proactive Support
Rather than waiting until there is a problem that may interrupt business operations we are proactive in preventing problems.
We achieve this by regular monitoring, tuning and fault rectification.
Responsive
We can provide on-site support where necessary. Many of our customers enjoy rapid response via our remote support.
We can provide remote response using a VPN and PC Anywhere, Remote Desktop or SQL Server Enterprise Manager.
Technical Expertise
Our SQL Server consultants have tried and tested commercial experience with small and large companies.
Personalised Site Knowledge
Every SQL Server installation is different. Rather that using a consultant ignorant of your setup,
we will get to know your site setup and configuration and understand your specific requirements.
Procedures
We have standard procedures for reporting, documenting and escalating support incidents. You will be able to track the
progress of support incidents using our web-based helpdesk application.
Health Check
We ask that a full SQL Server health check is carried out before undertaking any support contract.
