Custom database administration
Every database is unique in its purpose 
and implementation. As a result, every database requires custom installation and 
administration. We will work with you to develop your database from its 
installation forward. 
Database backup and recovery
The data driving your business is 
irreplaceable. And you can't do business when you can't get at that data. Pontis 
can work with you to build the level of data availability you need. Backup and 
recovery plans, fault tolerance, disaster planning - we develop these strategies 
with you at the outset so that you never lose a bit of data.

database means lost revenue and lower customer satisfaction. This is especially 
true for the Internet application running on Oracle database. Our experience
