Assyst provides remote database management services supporting heterogeneous distributed environments, thus allowing in-house resources to focus on activities that take the business forward. The service can be customized to meet the database, server and network administration requirements specific to organizations. Assyst has a pro-active approach to DBA, and concentrates on system fine-tuning and performance enhancement rather than merely on troubleshooting.

They install new implementations and upgrades, provide ongoing support including daily monitoring, and help design technical infrastructure based on actual business requirements. They can serve either as full-time extension of an organization's own staff or as supplemental resources filling in for employees during absences, or assisting on special projects.
