Databases, cloud platforms and delivery pipelines, run under measured service levels from three staffed hubs. Every figure on this site carries its measurement window and source.

  • A SOAVM Tech engineer at work in the Lagos delivery hub
  • Practice lines, one delivery standard
  • Industry Verticals8%Phases, each gated on evidence
  • Staffed hubs: Lagos, EU, US
  • Coverage / UTC

    Context transfers. Incidents do not restart at a shift boundary.

Coverage / UTC

Context transfers. Incidents do not restart at a shift boundary.

  • Lagos Hub

    00:00 – 08:00 UTC

    Core engineering density. Serves Nigeria and the wider African market directly.

  • EU Hub

    08:00 – 16:00 UTC

    European client proximity. GDPR-scoped delivery.

  • US Hub

    16:00 – 24:00 UTC

    Americas client proximity. HIPAA-scoped delivery where in scope.

Your alternatives

You have five options, and four of them are not an agency

Each of these is a reasonable choice for some organisations. Here's where each one stops working, and the line we hold instead.

  • Buy a monitoring tool

    It tells you something broke. It does not diagnose, fix, or remove the cause.

    Dashboards report. We explain why, fix it, and close the underlying defect.

  • Hire one senior specialist

    One person cannot cover 168 hours. No cover at 03:00, no peer review, total loss on resignation.

    No single-person dependency, no coverage gap at 03:00, no capability loss when they resign.

  • Keep best-effort support

    Commitments are aspirational and unmeasured.

    Measured objectives, documented runbooks, and quarterly reviews you can take to your board.

  • Engage a global integrator

    Account minimums exclude mid-market; delivery is often junior.

    Senior-weighted delivery, and proximity to the African market a global firm cannot match.

  • Use a local body shop

    Supplies people, not outcomes. No standards, no gates, no evidence.

    A gated method where a gate passed on assertion has not been passed.

The arithmetic

Coverage has a cost. Make it visible.

Building this in-house means six salaries and residual key-man risk. The equation is static on purpose. Let the reader do the sum.

  • Hours in a week in a 24×7 operation
  • Hours per person, standard working week
  • Minimum headcount, zero margin
  • Realistic headcount with holiday and attrition
Supported database engines, with a confirmed recovery test across two of three hubs

Flagship practice

Database Professional Services

A database operations team embedded in your workflow, for capacity and performance work, high availability that has been tested under load, recovery tested against a stated RTO, and a quarterly review with figures your board can read.

Month-end and disbursement cycles do not get to be the day the database is slow.

Capabilities

One company, one contract, one delivery standard

Eight practice lines, organised the way we deliver: Assess, Transform, Operate. Each card names the outcome, not the technology category.

Explore each practice
  • Data & AI

    Pipelines with a stated freshness budget. AI-augmented monitoring triages; a senior human reviews every escalation before anything ships.

  • Cybersecurity

    Findings ranked by exploitability in your actual environment, with remediation verified by retest, not by assertion.

  • DevSecOps

    Releases that ship on a weekday afternoon, because the pipeline proves them safe first.

  • Cloud & Infrastructure Engineering

    Platforms built to survive a region failure, with the failover path tested rather than assumed.

  • Infrastructure & Platform as a Service

    Currently run inside client engagements. External availability opens once it's proven on our own estate for two consecutive quarters.

  • Database Professional Services

    A database operations team embedded in your workflow, contracted at a stated tier. (Flagship)

  • Software Engineering

    Applications built to be operated: instrumented, documented, and handed over with runbooks — not just shipped.

  • General Consulting

    A written position on a specific decision, with the trade-offs and the option you shouldn't take stated alongside it.

Engagement gates: Discover and Design passed, Deliver in progress, Operate upcoming

How we work

Four phases. Objective exit criteria.

A gate passed on assertion has not been passed. One exit criterion per gate is shown here; the full set sits on each practice page.

  • Discover

    Workload profile, dependency map and recovery objectives written down and signed off by the client owner.
  • Design

    Target architecture reviewed against the vendor-supported pattern for the engine in question; failure modes enumerated.
  • Deliver

    Recovery tested from backup within the stated RTO, evidenced by a timestamped test record.
  • Operate

    Runbooks in place, rota published, first quarterly service review held with measured figures.

Evidence

What clients receive, one delivery standard

No consented client case is published yet, so this section shows the artefacts themselves rather than a logo wall.

View all case studies
  • A quarterly service review with a closed incident and its root cause recorded

    Quarterly service review

    Attainment against the contracted tier, incident register, error budget consumed, remediation status.

  • A recovery test record published on the page rather than behind a form

    Recovery test record

    Timestamped restore from backup, measured RTO and RPO against the stated objective, signed by the engineer who ran it.

  • A reference architecture showing primary, replica and failover topology

    Reference architecture

    Replication topology, failover semantics and lag budget for the engine in question. On the page, not behind a form.

Get started

Two weeks. A written baseline of where you actually are. Yours either way.

Fixed duration, fixed price, no obligation to continue. If the finding is that you don't need us, that's what's written down.

  • Workload profile — what actually runs, when, and at what cost

  • High-availability gap analysis against your stated objectives

  • A recovery test, executed and timed, not described

  • A costed coverage model for the hours you need covered
