Service - CURSOR Service Distribution

Service and Support for Informix Administrators Active support by CURSOR for your Informix database systems Through system-oriented tool development and more than twenty years of support experience (second level), our employees have very deep technological knowledge of Informix. The result of this work is many years of direct contact with Informix developers, support staff and product managers - worldwide. The development of the Admin-Scout, our software tool for administration, monitoring and tuning of Informix, is the basement of the high performance standard we offer our customers. From a visit by an IT manager with high-performance, business-critical OLTP systems and 24x7 support by CURSOR: „On the way to CURSOR we asked ourselves why this meeting is necessary today - we have no Informix problems at all." „Thank you - that's exactly our job“
