World-renowned PL/SQL expertise

If you’re doing any significant work with Oracle APEX, beyond pure spreadsheet replacement or ‘Form and Report on Table’, you’re gonna need PL/SQL.

And guess what? We’ve got a world-renowned PL/SQL expert in our team, Steven Feuerstein. A strong advocate of best practices and standards, Steven is a well-known author and speaker on all things Oracle and PL/SQL related.

Steven also leads our teach lead team, and works closely with our consultants doing next level code review. He makes sure we’re always doing our best work possible when it comes to leveraging the power of the Oracle database, and is hard at work developing ‘Insum standards’ our consultants get to use in their projects, like Insum Debug and Insum Mail.

If anybody gets stuck for even a bit, they know exactly who to turn to for help. And that means our clients get a solid code base they can feel good about.

What our clients have to say

It has been a pleasure working with INSUM. Everyone we work with has been very knowledgeable and easy to work with.

Andy Lustig, Site Centers

Excellent customer service, attention to the finer points, focus on what makes sense for the tool, willing to collaborate and hold us accountable to our ever growing list of 'wants'!

Janet P, Ivy League Medical School

The team was great to work with. It was a pretty complex project and they were very responsive to changes and issues as they arose.

Kayla Urtz, State of Oklahoma

This is was our first direct engagement (Without an intermediary). I have to tell you, it was a very positive experience. Particularly; the progress reporting methodology, team accountability, and progress against the budget. This excellent service stands in marked contrast to some other less well managed engagements with other vendors. Keep up the good work.

Andy Parsons, Mate Tooling

Great Programmers, Developers, Project Management and DBA Support.

Ed Villasanta, Baycoat

“Insum immediately understood the requirements and responded quickly, keeping me updating along the way. The final solution is exactly was we needed and great quality of work as well! The budget and timeline were spot on, so it was a very good investment from our side.”

Nada Gataric, BCCFE

"Thanks to Insum’s professionalism and technical knowledge, we have now a database that precisely answers our needs. The development of the tool went perfectly well: rapid development through an agile mode, favorable working hours with the time difference between France and Canada, very good coordination, and communication between the Insum and Air Liquide teams, and very open-minded and nice people!"

Anne-Sophie Fabre, Air Liquide

“Insum has the ability to understand what we need from a business perspective, not just our technical requirements, and without a lot of back and forth. In some instances, they’ve proposed extra functions that we didn’t ask for but were a good fit, a logical progression. We are extremely pleased with the results and they’ve helped us move forward. We also find them quite responsive when we call, text or email them with an issue”

Rob Benjamin, Smith Emery

“Over the course of the now seven or eight years we’ve worked with them, Insum has consistently delivered high-quality projects. We first reached out to them because we were lacking in manpower and expertise. They have supplied both and delivered quickly. They are one of the rare consulting firms we’ve found with this level of proficiency in APEX Design & Development.”

Mohamed Zebib, Essilor

What I liked about working with Insum was that the Statement Of Work was very accurate. They met all of Chris’ needs (and if he’s happy, I’m happy, he’s our technical wizard).

Sean O'Hagan, TAP 50:50
