Here's what other people think

Tom Hocking

WellData have supported Troy for 7 years and have consistently delivered a great level of service throughout this time.

Their flexibility, desire to get stuff done and lack of red tape, make them stand out from their competition. We have talked to the person who can fix the problem immediately rather than going through layers of support.

This is invaluable and saves a huge amount of time. I would strongly recommend working with WellData.

Devon County Council

Graham May, Application Analyst, of Devon County Council

“WellData were critical in aiding a hardware refresh of our on-premise Oracle DB real estate. The hardware refresh necessitated a switch of platform, as part of DCC's long term goals to reduce the number of platforms that we support.

WellData managed the process from cradle to grave ensuring that we stayed within our Oracle licensing agreements.

WellData were on hand to perform the migration of the Production Environment outside of our core corporate support hours”

Charlie Bigham’s – Azure Migration

Mike Calverley, Head of IT, Charlie Bigham’s

"Following the recent completion of our ERP migration from on-premise to Microsoft Azure using SQL MI, WellData was integral to the success of this very strategic project.

They provide my team with the technical leadership and resources for the SQL expertise we require. They are always there for us and attended all project meetings, workshops and catch-ups and would always jump on calls at a moment’s notice – Well data are like an extension to my team, and we get on so well with all of them – they can’t do enough for us."

I have worked with the WellData team for many years now and they have always delivered.

I would highly recommend them to any business looking for best-value outsourced Expert DBA’s.

Being able to offer a rolling contract on the basis that if they don’t deliver you can leave shows their confidence and commitment.

Their professionalism and knowledge is second to none.

Rushmoor Borough Council

“The Council plans to continue with the partnership and is exploring ideas around bespoke development support and has no hesitation in recommending WellData to other clients.” - Nick Harding Head of IT and FM services

“WellData has made the day to day running of the system and major upgrades faster, and less disruptive to the service and provides the in-house team both IT and Revenue with expert advice and peace of mind” - Systems administrator for the system, Sarah Giles

WellData’s outsourced database administration and support service has proven “extremely successful especially around patching, release management, and incident management”.

According to the Council, their process prior to the relationship with WellData was unreliable, while now the IT, Digital and FM services enjoy 24/7 support provided on a critical system, that is in their own words “cost-effective, flexible and very responsive”.
