The Foundation Underneath Everything Else
Most software problems eventually become database problems. Slow applications usually have slow queries underneath them. Buggy applications often have data integrity issues at the root. And the businesses that get the most value from their software are almost always the ones with well-designed databases backing it.
SITEK provides database services across the full lifecycle: design, development, administration, reporting, and support. We help businesses get their data in order so the software running on top of it can efficiently do its job. Good software starts with good data.
SQL Development
Our SQL developers write queries, stored procedures, views, and database logic that’s clean, performant, and maintainable. That sounds like a low bar, but in practice a huge amount of database code in the wild is none of those things — and it’s why so many applications run slowly, behave unpredictably, or become hard to change over time. We pay attention to the fundamentals: indexing, query plans, normalization where it helps and denormalization where it makes sense, and clear, well-documented database code.
Database Administration
Our database administrators handle the operational side of database work: backups and recovery, performance tuning, security, capacity planning, monitoring, and the steady maintenance that keeps databases healthy. We work primarily with SQL Server, but our team has experience across other database platforms as well, including PostgreSQL, MySQL, and Oracle.
SQL Reporting & Crystal Reports
Reporting is where databases meet decisions. Our SQL reporting developers build reports that are accurate, fast, and provide valuable data to support decisions. We work with SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS), Crystal Reports, Power BI, and other reporting tools — and we help clients pick the right tool for the kind of reporting they need.
Crystal Reports in particular is still running important reporting in many businesses. We can maintain existing Crystal reports, build new ones, or help migrate Crystal-based reporting to more modern tools when that makes sense.
Database Support
Most database support work isn’t dramatic. It’s the steady, ongoing work of keeping things running — patching, monitoring, tuning, troubleshooting, helping with the occasional crisis. Our database support is designed to be there when you need it: responsive, knowledgeable, and grounded in actual familiarity with your environment rather than starting from scratch every time.
