IBM DB2

DB2 is a database product from IBM. It is a Relational Database Management System (RDBMS). DB2 is designed to store, analyze and retrieve the data efficiently. DB2 product is extended with the support of Object-Oriented features and non-relational structures with XML.

Initially, IBM had developed DB2 product for their specific platform. Since year 1990, it decided to develop a Universal Database (UDB) DB2 Server, which can run on any authoritative operating systems such as Linux, UNIX, and Windows.

DB2 investment is considerable and it must function at peak performance, with streamlined administrative schedules and efficient and effective recovery protocols. Maintaining and optimizing the DB2 software and applications with minimal interruptions takes specific skills and expertise which are becoming increasingly rare in the industry. Whether on the mainframe or on a distributed platform, keeping the DB2 software, applications and databases optimized is critically important to your business performance.

Do your applications support your business?

Custom-developed applications deliver exactly what you need

Maintaining your business is unique. Off-the-shelf IT solutions and pre-packaged software might not suit your business and technology goals. Although you have the option of modifying your business to work around the software, it isn’t always possible or desirable to do so. IT solutions should conform to your business, not the other way around.

Customizing prepackaged solutions or developing applications from scratch may better provide the functionality your business requires, but development work is fraught with its own challenges. Often, it necessitates venturing into new technologies, and you may be limited by the bandwidth of in-house staff. To further complicate the process, you may need to integrate your new systems with other key internal and customer-facing applications and/or migrate critical legacy data.

Employing the seasoned flexibility and deep experience of an outside consultant/developer can ensure you successfully develop and integrate the exact IT solution you need without wasting time and financial resources.
