Case Study: Katalyst Data Management solves a tough SQL Server replication issue with Scalar Decisions

Finding the Right IT Consultant for the Job Effective IT Resourcing Solves Tough SQL Server Issue

Katalyst Data Management, a leading subsurface data management provider for the oil and gas industry, needed help resolving a Microsoft SQL Server replication issue that had stumped its IT team and vendor support for more than a year after a server name change broke the process. To find the right specialist, Katalyst turned to Scalar Decisions and its TASK service for highly specialized IT resourcing.

Scalar Decisions quickly sourced a senior Microsoft SQL consultant who worked with Katalyst via screen sharing to diagnose the root cause and repair the SQL Server system tables. By removing a problematic row through a non-standard database access method, Scalar Decisions helped Katalyst restore replication and reinstall it successfully, ending a yearlong issue and allowing the company to move forward with its disaster recovery plans.
