Starschema

After companies started to use their new or renovated DWH and BI systems, IT managers quickly realize how difficult it can be to operate these systems in a way which fits into business requirements – expected uptime, response time, low problem ratio, quick resolutions – and IT constraints – budget, headcount, corporate standards, and accountability - in the same time.

Starschema already helped several clients to resolve their problems and conflicts on these areas, by not only providing consultancy to find the best solution for operations and support, but also took over the activities and the responsibility of SLA-s from client’s personnel. As a result, in most of the cases, we have cut the cost of operations and support to half, while increased the system stability, performance!

But how did we do it?

• We have audited the DWH and BI systems from the operations and support point of view. As a result, our clients had a clear understanding about their systems and processes.
• We have created recommendations on the most effective areas and methods of improvements.
• We have executed stabilization and optimization projects, where the goal was to improve the systems stability, processes, accountability and performance – but no business logic changes were incorporated.
• We have signed SLA based contracts with clients, where we took the responsibility of operating and / or supporting the DWH and BI systems fully or partially – according to our clients needs. We can provide SLA-s not only on L1-2-3 support activities, operational tasks, but also performance / system optimization services or even development activities. The SLA-s and the provided services are always tailor made to client needs, size, habbits and budget.
• We have set up and operate a data warehouse and BI support team. Within this team we have built the skills and resources required to meet SLA-s. We keep up the level of professional and loyal attitude of the team to not only meet the SLA-s but also to exceed our customers’ expectations.
• We provide the services in on-site (Hungary), near-shore (EU) or off-shore (other remote locations) mode.
• We operate our support hotline in 24/7, with dedicated phone numbers and consultants (for those customers who require), and on This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
