Data is useless to a business - unless it is delivered intelligently and in a timely manner. Converting business data to business intelligence is both a science and an art, and Savantage Solutions has over 20 years experience with both.

Savantage Solutions was the first company to develop a complete suite of financial management products designed specifically for the public sector and built using only Oracle tools. Today our products continue to be Oracle-based, fully scaleable and web-enabled. Our experience in building and maintaining financial management applications has demanded extensive expertise in database design, development, tuning and capacity planning. Savantage understands both the technical and business aspects of managing data to fit the organization's operational needs. Additionally, we specifically understand the unique information requirements within the public sector, the related data design requirements, and the necessary interfaces with other government systems. Savantage experts minimize or eliminate system downtime by providing the efficient database planning and data center resources.

Our diverse expertise covers these areas.

Database Creation or Migration

Savantage Solutions has proven expertise in database design, creation and testing, with extensive experience in relational database technologies acquired during numerous implementation projects. Our work includes the Oracle 8i é and Oracle 9i é database design and architecture and the Sybase, IBM's DB2 é and Microsoft Sequel Server é structures.

We know how to create an environment and data structure favorable to Oracle applications. Our development effort for a suite of financial applications within the Oracle environment provided invaluable experience in the fine points of the Oracle database structure and applications.

During the conversion and migration of data from a legacy system to a new application, the existing data must be scrubbed and analyzed for inconsistencies and errors to prevent the migration from becoming time consuming and error prone. Savantage has proven capabilities in the required analysis to make any data migration a success. We deliver seasoned experience to every project, identifying and addressing potential risks and issues at the start. We then design and implement testing plans to ensure the migration is completed with no errors.

Database Administration and Maintenance

Proper database administration is critical to maintaining the integrity of any system. As experts, we know how to monitor and fine-tune the database to maximize performance and integrity. Savantage's extensive three-tier performance monitoring and tuning support program focuses on application and database performance. It uses the information from the operating system performance history, the database performance history from the Oracle Statspack Performance Historyé system, and a history of the database table/index storage and report processing. With this data, we can identify capacity and performance issues long before they negatively affect an organization.

Data Analysis

Collecting and storing information is a simple task for the IT shop. But an improper data structure can create a host of meaningless "standard" reports that users routinely ignore, and data extracted from multiple systems could require lengthy manual manipulation to generate the necessary information. The result? Data is not converted to useable business intelligence.

Many companies don't have the resources needed to plan and implement an efficient data warehouse. However, Savantage has worked with customers for years to develop a data and reporting environment that empowers the end-user. With our expertise, we quickly analyze a company's information needs within the context of their data structure and applications and create an effective reporting solution to meet those needs. Savantage creates an environment in which your raw data becomes useful business intelligence, and then teaches users the best way to extract information using the system's reporting functionality.
