Db2 Support Services & WebSphere Care

What are Db2 and WebSphere?

Db2 is IBM’s enterprise relational database, and WebSphere is IBM’s application server and middleware platform. Together they sit underneath many of the line-of-business systems that companies rely on every day.

Db2 stores and serves the data: orders, accounts, inventory, claims, matters, ledgers. WebSphere runs the applications and services that read and write that data, and connects them to users and other systems. When either one slows down or fails, the business feels it immediately.

What does Db2 and WebSphere support include?

It includes ongoing optimization and care that keeps these mission-critical systems high-performing, stable and secure. We support and enhance Db2, WebSphere and related middleware stacks across your enterprise applications.

• Performance: finding and fixing slow queries, bottlenecks and resource contention
• Stability: reducing errors, crashes and unplanned outages
• Security: hardening configuration, access and connectivity
• Integration: connecting your database and middleware to ERP, CRM and custom applications

How do you improve Db2 performance?

We improve performance by measuring where time is actually spent, then tuning the database, queries and supporting configuration to remove the bottleneck. Guessing rarely works; the data usually points to a small number of causes.

Common signs you need help include reports that take longer every month, screens that hang at busy times and batch jobs that run into the business day. These problems tend to grow quietly as data volume and user counts increase.

How do you keep these systems stable and secure?

We keep them stable and secure through regular care: reviewing configuration, applying updates carefully and tightening access before problems surface. Middleware is often the part of the stack nobody owns, which is exactly where risk builds up.

Security is part of every engagement, from the database to the application server to the network connections between them. Our approach is security first, from endpoint to data center to cloud.

Can you connect Db2 and WebSphere to our ERP and CRM?

Yes. We connect ERP, CRM and custom applications so data flows cleanly between them and your IBM stack. The result is greater operational visibility and less manual re-keying between systems.

Integration work often goes hand in hand with modernization. If your applications run on IBM i or AS/400, we can extend them through modern interfaces, secure connectivity and cloud integration without disrupting the systems that work today. Learn more about our integration services.
