ICT-OKE BV stands for Oracle Knowledge & Experience. It is the consultancy through which I, Hans Schoonen, work as an independent senior Oracle database and E-Business Suite (Apps) administrator, for small businesses and organisations with complex application landscapes alike.

How I work

  • Hands-on. I do the work myself, from the change plan to the last command in the maintenance window.
  • Documented. Every procedure ends up as a runbook, work instruction or installation protocol your own team can follow.
  • Careful with production. Changes are tested in lower environments first, and every step has a way back.
  • Clear about status. You always know what has been done, what is next, and what the risks are.
