We deliberately chose AMIS' Oracle expertise for rapid emergency intervention, with an experienced team and backup pool.

- Peter Wijburg, ICT Manager ABF Bearings

The challenge

The Oracle database environment is the heart of ABF Bearings. The database contains more than 350,000 different products. When the database is no longer available, everything stops, the company comes to a complete standstill. For an organization that delivers constantly (24/7), this is disastrous. Proactive management is therefore necessary.

The solution

Exclusive management of the Oracle environment by AMIS. There is constant monitoring with native Oracle tools, a well-thought-out recovery plan and a quarterly preventive examination, the so-called 'health check'. This health check results in advice for improvement, which ensures that ABF Bearings does not manage reactively but proactively.

The advantages

AMIS is the only party that is allowed to touch the Oracle environment, which prevents them from being confronted with unexpected actions. The expertise and skill of AMIS, together with the carefully designed recovery scenario, has now proven its value. AMIS is so involved in the organization that they are seen as part of the ABF Bearings IT team.
