A: We are specialist consultants with a broad technology skillset, especially in Oracle, business intelligence using QlikView and QlikSense and data warehousing.

We work across multiple sectors including higher education, construction, retail, and professional services. Our experience in higher education is particularly strong.

Book a free consultation using the booking system on our website, or email us at info@behan.co.uk. We'll arrange a call to discuss your requirements and how we can help.

We work flexibly to suit client needs. Many engagements are primarily remote with occasional on-site visits. For some projects, regular on-site presence is more appropriate. We'll discuss what works best for your situation.

It varies by project type. Apex applications can often be developed in just a few days or weeks depending on scale and complexity. Database administration support is typically ongoing. Data Warehouse projects often take many months to complete, and we are happy to vary engagement levels over time. We'll provide realistic timescales in our proposal.

We offer flexible engagement models: monthly retainers for ongoing support, fixed prices for defined projects, or day-rate time and materials. We'll recommend the model that best suits your needs and available budget.

Yes. We provide training for Apex applications we develop, Qlik dashboards, and can deliver general Oracle training. Knowledge transfer is an important part of our service.

We offer flexible ongoing support arrangements from ad-hoc assistance through to comprehensive monthly support contracts. We can provide different support levels for different services, and can vary the Response and Resolution SLA’s to match your requirements and budget.

We actively work with customers using Database versions 11g through current versions (21c, 23ai). We can support both on-premise and cloud-based Oracle environments.

Yes. We can assist with migrating Oracle databases to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) or other cloud platforms, including planning, execution, and post-migration optimisation

If you already have Oracle Database licences, Apex is included at no additional cost. If you don't have Oracle licences, we can discuss options including Oracle's free tier for development or lightweight deployment options.

Absolutely. While we specialise in Oracle, Qlik can connect to virtually any data source including SQL Server, MySQL, Excel, web APIs, cloud platforms, and more.

Oracle is our core specialism, but we have experience with other databases including SQL Server and MySQL. If your requirement is outside our expertise, we'll tell you honestly, or look to skill up the team. Whilst databases technologies vary across vendors, they are all based on the same principles – and best practices apply across the board.
