Customer Speak

“While the data warehouse and associated information systems processing are important to the university, it is not our core business or competency: teaching, learning, and research are. We don't do a lot of outsourcing or engaging of consultants, but in this project we needed some immediate, targeted assistance as we moved to a new enterprise database architecture. dbaDIRECT came through in innumerable ways. They gave our folks the confidence and backup support to pull off a seemingly smooth, seamless and trouble-free switch. As the inevitable problems came up, they were handled with consummate professionalism. And all this was done within budget, which was quite impressive. We have extended both our engagement with dbaDIRECT and our relationship--good business."
