December 27, 2024

New Title

Oracle is a major player in the EdTech space, with many institutions relying on their database and middleware solutions. However, managing these solutions, particularly legacy systems, can be incredibly challenging. From upgrades to ongoing support, finding qualified talent to oversee your Oracle deployments is no easy task.


So, how can you get the most out of your Oracle deployment? When hiring a full-time developer isn’t an option, the next best solution is to partner with an expert Oracle technical services provider like Surecampus.


Here are just a few of the major Oracle challenges you can solve by partnering with Surecampus:


  1. System Outages Unexpected system outages can be costly and severely impact users. To avoid this, it’s crucial to work with a partner who understands education-specific timelines. Surecampus proactively monitors your systems, predicting potential issues and alerting you before they impact your infrastructure. In case of an emergency, our disaster recovery and business continuity services ensure that your systems stay online, minimising data loss.
  2. Migrations & Upgrades Many educational institutions rely on legacy Oracle systems, which, while essential, can become outdated and insecure. Surecampus ensures a smooth transition whether you're migrating or upgrading, with plans tailored to minimise disruption. We support on-premises, off-premises, and full cloud deployments, ensuring upgrades go smoothly without affecting other systems or functionality.
  3. System & Lifecycle Management It’s easy to fall behind on Oracle’s release schedule, leaving your institution with outdated, unsupported systems, posing both usability and security risks. Surecampus takes care of this with ongoing maintenance and patching, helping to optimise your system, monitor health, and scan for vulnerabilities. The result? A secure, up-to-date system that keeps student data safe
  4. Lack of Internal Resources   Educational institutions often struggle to retain Oracle DBAs or lack internal expertise altogether. Surecampus solves this by providing an experienced Oracle team to fill in knowledge gaps. You’ll also get a dedicated project manager who prioritises your needs, ensuring your systems are well-managed and your business goals are met.
  5. Non-Education Technology Partners Finding a technology partner who understands the unique needs of education can be challenging. Many third-party vendors lack the experience with both Oracle and educational systems. With decades of experience in EdTech, Surecampus is a trusted partner who understands your needs and provides full out-of-hours support for peace of mind.
