The Challenge

A growing financial services company was operating with a critical database system that had become a major business risk. Their legacy database infrastructure was causing frequent performance issues, requiring manual maintenance, and had no proper disaster recovery capabilities.

Critical Business Risk

During our assessment, we discovered that the company had experienced 3 near-data-loss incidents in the previous 6 months due to backup failures and hardware issues. With no automated recovery systems in place, each incident required 8+ hours of manual intervention to restore operations.

The database team was spending 20+ hours weekly on manual maintenance tasks: running backups, optimizing queries, monitoring performance, and troubleshooting issues. This reactive approach was unsustainable as the business grew and data volumes increased exponentially.
