Implementation

Functional Implementation

Our Oracle experts can work with you to properly research and perform all aspects of a functional implementation. We can look at your business practices and help you determine which modules will meet your needs. We can then help you to implement any of the Oracle modules so that your Oracle system matches the needs of your business.

Technical Implementation

We work with you to make sure that your technical implementation is performed properly. We make certain that your Oracle applications and databases are sized and distributed correctly across your available hardware, customizing your directory structures to meet demands of your specific system. We research install,update, patch, and tune your system for optimal performance and easier maintenance.

System Upgrades

    Upgrade to the latest version for smoother, more reliable performance and technical support.
In order to ensure that your Oracle Applications and Databases continue operating optimally, periodic system upgrades are a must. These upgrades also entitle you to valuable technical support from Oracle, since they stop supporting older Oracle systems as new ones are developed.
Our Oracle experts understand that while these upgrades are valuable, they are also expensive. We also understand the intricate details of each upgrade and how those details will enhance your particular system. We can work with you to determine which upgrades are necessary for your system and then help you to create a test system, implement the upgrades, and patch your system so that you can maintain the integrity of your data after the upgrade and can take full advantage of your new system functionality.

System Maintenance

    We set up customized remote or on-site maintenance plans to keep systems running smoothly. Like other IT systems, Oracle Applications and Databases require periodic maintenance to continue running at optimal performance. Regular and proper maintenance provides security, improved performance, and stability to your Oracle system, preventing unnecessary downtime from preventable causes. We offer a variety of maintenance packages that can be customized to meet the needs of your business. Whether you just need help developing a maintenance plan or need help performing regular maintenance we can help. Our consultants can work with you to develop a maintenance plan that is right for you.

24/7 System Monitoring

We offer 24/7 automated system monitoring that can be customized to respond to your specific needs. This system monitors Oracle Applications and Databases in real-time. When problems are detected the monitoring system responds by sending emails, pages, or phone calls to the responsible parties at your company and/or at Reilly & Associates. They can then immediately respond to the problem. The sensitivity of this monitoring system is also adjustable. It can be programmed to send out one type of message if system resources spike for a short time and a different type of message if system resources are taxed over longer periods of time. Whatever your needs, we can set up an automated monitoring system to help you keep your systems up and running at optimal performance.

Remote System Maintenance

We have remote daily services available for those companies that like a safety net backing up their Database team. We dial-up and do the daily checking of the database for files or mount points filling up. We check the alert logs and extents also. This frees up your on-site staff so that they can take care of more urgent items and the daily system operation so that it does not get neglected and become an urgent item.

Initial Evaluation

Implementing Oracle databases and applications is a major investment in terms of time, money, and resources. Before going through that level of expense it is vital to understand exactly what type of Oracle system will meet your needs and the needs of your business! It is much easier and cheaper to take the time up-front to fully understand your needs than to alter a system that was implemented prematurely or incorrectly. Our Oracle Consultants are a valuable resource that can help you evaluate your business, manufacturing, supply chain, and other information systems to decide whether they are ideal for running Oracle Applications and Databases. We can visit your site and help you design the best system for meeting the individual needs of your organization.

Periodic Evaluations

It is not enough to simply install Oracle systems and then expect them to operate perfectly forever. System resources and requirements change over time as systems grow and system usage changes. In order to keep your Oracle system operating, resources must be adjusted periodically to match the demands of the system and the system users. The first step in making these adjustments is to find out where any problems are occurring. Our Oracle Consultants can work with you to do a comprehensive evaluation of your system in order to determine which system resources are working correctly and which need to be adjusted. Once you know what needs to be done you can make the proper adjustments to optimize your system. Of course our consultants are available to help you make the necessary tuning adjustments as needed.

Tuning

Backups

Hot Back-Ups

Hot back-ups occur when a database or system is actively running. This type of back-up is ideal for mission-critical systems and data that can't be shut down even for a short time. However, because hot backups must perform during real-time they can be very complicated. And if hot back-ups are not performed correctly then data will be lost and systems will be compromised. Our consultants can work with you to assure that your hot back-ups work as you intend them to and that your valuable systems and data are safeguarded.

Cold Back-Ups

Cold back-ups occur when databases or systems are not actively running. Cold back-ups are the simplest option because they can backup a whole database while the database is inactive. While cold back-up systems are easier to set up and maintain than hot back-up systems, it is important to set up a backup system that is right for your business. We can work with you to determine if cold back-ups are appropriate for you and help you set them up right... the first time.

Combination Backups

For most Oracle systems, combinations of hot and cold backups are the ideal solution for safeguarding valuable applications and databases. The right combination of hot and cold backups minimizes downtime and makes system and data restoration easier and less time consuming.

Disaster Recovery

Disaster Prevention

Of course, prevention is the best disaster recovery solution. Our trained consultants will work with you to develop the ideal disaster prevention plan for your Oracle Applications and Databases. We will call upon the vast experience of our staff to implement back-up systems and standby databases to safeguard valuable data. we can also work with your staff to implement procedures for keeping that data valid and safe, and practices that will keep your Oracle systems virtually disaster-free.

Disaster Recovery

Unfortunately, there is no way to prevent all disasters from ever happening. However, we can help you to minimize the possibility of a disaster occurring and we can work with you to develop a disaster recovery plan that will minimize or even eliminate your data loss in the event of a disaster, while enabling you to get your Oracle systems back up and running quickly and effectively.
