Oracle Database Administration

Oracle Application Express

Expert DBA expertise when you need it, without the permanent hire

Your Oracle databases are critical to your operations. Whether they're supporting financial systems, student records, research data, or business applications, they need to run smoothly, perform well, and be protected against failure.

But Oracle database administration requires specialist skills that are in short supply. Recruiting and retaining senior Oracle DBAs is expensive and difficult. Individual contractors create single points of failure and variable quality.

Behan provides an alternative: expert Oracle DBA support that's more flexible than permanent hires and more reliable than individual contractors. You get the skills you need, when you need them, backed by a team rather than depending on one person.

Why choose Behan?

Why choose Behan for DBA Support?

Senior-Level Expertise

Our DBAs have years of hands-on Oracle experience. You get senior-level expertise, not junior staff learning on your systems. We've seen and solved most Oracle problems multiple times.

No Single Point of Failure

Unlike individual contractors, you're backed by a team. If someone is unavailable, we have cover. If we haven't seen a particular issue before, we can consult with colleagues. You're not dependent on one person.

Rapid Response

When you need help, we respond quickly. Our typical response time for critical issues is hours, not days. We understand that database problems can't wait, and we act accordingly.

Cost Effective

A senior Oracle DBA salary (with employment costs and overheads) can easily exceed £70,000-90,000 annually. Our monthly retainer model typically saves 30-50% compared to a permanent hire, with the flexibility to scale up or down as your needs change.

Proactive, Not Just Reactive

We don't wait for things to break. Our approach is to monitor, maintain, and optimise continuously. This prevents problems rather than just fixing them, meaning less disruption to your operations.

Every project starts with a plan.
