How we engage

Three ways to work with us

Most engagements are defined-scope projects; some need embedded capacity, and some need someone to keep the estate running month after month. The standard is the same: senior-only, verified, documented, no lock-in.

Approach · 01

Defined-scope project

Everything in the catalogue — scoped, fixed-price, delivered by a senior DBA, and handed back so you keep running it.

For the team facing one defined problem, who wants a fixed scope and a system they own afterward.

How a project runs

  1. 01

    Scope call

    A free 60-minute conversation with the senior DBA who’d run the work.

  2. 02

    Fixed-scope quote

    Defined scope, fixed price, before anything starts.

  3. 03

    Senior DBA delivers

    The specialist who scoped it does the work.

  4. 04

    Documented handover

    What changed and why. No lock-in.

Approach · 02

Embedded senior DBA

A senior Oracle DBA from our vetted bench joins your team and works under your direction — with a named ORAcraft lead behind them.

For the team that needs senior capacity now, not a project — hands inside your team, under your direction.

What embedding means

  • Embedded in your team

    On-site or remote, part- or full-time.

  • Direct, daily collaboration

    In your tools and standups.

  • Named ORAcraft TAM

    Oversees the engagement continuously.

  • Senior-only bench

    10+ years in production. Never body-leasing.

Approach · 03

Managed DBA subscription

We take operational ownership of your estate month to month — alerts, incidents, backups and patching — and hand you the runbook as we go.

For the team that doesn’t have a problem to solve once, but an estate that has to keep running.

What ongoing looks like

  1. 01

    Estate Health Review

    One week, €2,900. Sometimes the verdict is that you do not need us.

  2. 02

    Baseline report

    What’s healthy, what’s at risk, what we’d fix first — before you commit.

  3. 03

    Plan configured

    Service level, coverage window, estate size. Priced, not guessed.

  4. 04

    Monthly runbook

    Every incident reproduced, resolved, documented — and yours.

Get started

The scoping call —

60 minutes. Free. No pitch. You talk to the senior DBA who would run your assessment — not a salesperson.

01

What to bring

Your Oracle version(s), rough estate size, and your deadline. That’s enough.

02

What happens on the call

We ask about your migration window, your known risks, and what ‘verified’ needs to mean in your environment. You ask anything — including how we’d handle your specific setup.

03

What you leave with

A straight answer on whether this assessment fits your situation — including ‘it doesn’t.’ If it doesn’t, we say so on the call and you’ve lost an hour, not a budget.

We don’t assume — we reproduce.
We tell you what we couldn’t test.
Your name stays off our website.
Independent of Oracle.
