In 2006 Antón and Alberto started to do something different, or rather, the same as they had been doing for years but in a different way. Shortly after, our company, Antón Campos Consultores, S.L., was founded and they are still its owners. They have always been interested in adding human values and talent to technology and more specifically to what they knew best: databases.

Around this idea, our founders brought together different people; some were eccentric and rebels like me while others were shy, creative and with great organisational skills. I share human quality and passion for what we do with all of them. Together, we opened work centres around the Iberian peninsula and starting working from here to the rest of the world.

We are experts in database engines, mainly Oracle simply because it is the best, but we are also experts in SQL Server and of course PostgreSQL and MySQL.

Since 2006 we have been working under the brand name FreelanceOracleDBA.com and in 2016 we evolved and became a tribe that goes by the name of Arumel. That’s how we introduced ourselves to the world.

Our behaviour is governed by an unequivocal set of principles and whether you like it or not, they are the only ones we have.

We are honest in our actions, innovative to improve processes that help promote human well-being; we always seek quality in our work and we ensure people’s respect, tolerance and ongoing professional development.

With this solid set of principles, our vision is to offer our customers zero data loss and their permanent availability.

To achieve this vision, we aim to offer database solutions with permanent availability and fast and secure access to data.

We are a tribe of men and women, DBAs actually, with decades of experience managing databases in small and large organisations. We have a proactive attitude and our mission is to serve people in order to bring quality to their professional life through a proper use of technology.

However, beyond our experience, there are our human qualities that make us proud to be part of what is probably the best team of DBAs that any professional may wish for, to the extent of considering ourselves a tribe for our uniqueness.

We are not butchers, body-shopping is not our thing, we do not identify ourselves with profit-driven consultants and our aim isn’t to get clients at all costs. This is because experience shows us that simply being ourselves will make us happy and then profits and clients will simply come about.

Our founders have taught us to be ourselves by growing as human beings as well as free and independent professionals, doing what we really like: managing databases. The difference lies in the passion we put into our work, which is the same one we put when raising our children because, somehow, both come out of our guts. Our mission is to be the best at what we do.

We know that we are not alone in our profession. There are people with similar concerns and passion and that’s why we want to make our talent available to them. We know that there is life out there and people need us.
