Application Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting

There are numerous reasons that a troubleshooting project may be required, and with technology changing so fast the list just grows. Whatever the reason you can be assured that we've dealt with similar issues in the past. Our experience with high availability, multi threaded, distributed, data driven applications means we have the experience to take your problems and resolve them fast and efficiently. Here are some examples of the common scenarios we are asked to deal with:

  • Database deadlockls
  • Application performance degredation
  • Infrequent difficult to track bugs
  • Application bottlenecks
  • Thread contention
  • Application deployment
  • Configuration management
  • Integration solutions
  • Service integration
  • Security

Often one or more of the above issues will require a troubleshooting project to identify the root causes and appropriate fixes. If your development team is maxed out on other projects or you would like a second opinion, Hebbian can provide a troubleshooting service that is cost effective and efficient. Our highly trained and qualified staff are experienced in old, current, and emerging technologies and have a broad range of business experience that is sure to meet your needs.

What Service Do We Offer

There are two options available to you.

1. Investigative. We will ascertain root causes and provide analysis containing a detailed breakdwon of the issues and all viable solutions available to you.

2. Investigate & Fix. As above with the addition of performing all required fixes.

Why You Should Select Hebbian

An unbiased assessment can be hard to come by, especially where IT teams have invested large numbers of hours or individuals have 'ownership' of troublesome areas. These types of issues will often be explained away or justification given for the current state. Problems may take time to track, removing resource from projects that are equally important.

Whatever the reason, Hebbian provides an unbiased review as part of our troubleshooting work, delivering an analysis of the issues being faced including design, technology, and process recommendations going forward. Our team have experience with the latest technology offerings while maintaining knowledge of older and sometimes obsolete technologies, allowing us to provide you with the most appropriate and cost effective solutions for your troubleshooting projects.
