What do the review and assessments typically cover?
Reviews and assessments validate that the current implemented system is configured and operated to business and vendor requirements. Alignment to business requirements ensures that the system is able to meet the demands placed on it to keep the business running. Alignment to vendor requirements ensures that the system is deployed in a supported configuration as expected by software and hardware vendors.
The components reviewed by each service vary depending on the type of review. Each review will analyse and report findings on a specific area – whether that be a general health check, system security, platform optimisation etc.
How long does this take?
Reviews and assessments start at 4 days for a simple database environment assessment. Larger and more complex databases will require more time to complete and will incur additional costs.
