When your database is down, can your company still function? Nowadays the information in your database is critical not only to your company's applications and operation, but also its strength and success! The Database Administrator (DBA) is vital to both the short term and long term success of a company. Yet the importance of administration along with its costs are often missed or misunderstood - many times with tragic consequences!

The typical DBA wears too many hats in an organization and spends as much as 40% of their time on other tasks. DBA's are not only responsible for ongoing maintenance, monitoring, and tuning of production databases, but also understanding future data needs and emerging technologies.

RemoteDBA is a service offered where our staff of experienced Oracle DBA's and consultants monitor and administer your database remotely or onsite. Our DBA's monitor your system and diagnose problems, proactively prevent downtime and report findings to you on a regular basis.

WTA Consulting also offers an Oracle Patch Management Plan to help summarize the needs of your database in order to test and apply the latest Oracle security patches.
