Corrective Maintenance
When an incident occurs, it is important to react quickly and investigate the root cause. At Sparkle we have a large pool of data engineers available to tackle incidents when they occur. So, avoid time spent on maintenance and troubleshooting, as we can take care of your analytical solutions.
End-to-end support
With our end-to-end support solution Sparkle takes the responsibility of monitoring and providing support from source (for example: databases, API’s, CDC-tools, etc.) to target endpoint (for example: API’s, databases, reporting tools, applications, etc.).
First-line support
With Sparkle’s first-line support we set up the monitoring that provides the support. This level of support is typically interesting to detect and quickly fix problems such as temporary downtime of a server/service, latency errors, etc. The support is technical in nature and business knowledge is out of scope.
