SQL Server development, administration and performance tuning you can depend on.

§ Signs
Our database engineering services keep the databases behind your applications and reports fast, secure and available. We provide SQL Server database consulting, development and administration: database architecture and design, T-SQL, stored procedures and views, performance tuning, indexing and execution plan analysis, and high availability and disaster recovery. We secure and audit databases, run health checks and capacity planning, and support production systems through incidents. We also engineer PostgreSQL, MySQL and MongoDB databases, build SSIS, SSRS and SSAS solutions, and migrate and consolidate SQL Server estates to Azure and other cloud platforms.
Database problems rarely announce themselves. They show up as slow screens, failed reports and nervous release days.
Queries that were fine last year now time out at peak, and adding hardware only helps for a while.
Backups run every night, but nobody has tried a full restore or timed how long it takes.
Production still runs on a SQL Server or PostgreSQL version that no longer receives security fixes.
Users see freezes and failed transactions that are hard to reproduce outside production.
A single developer or DBA holds the knowledge, and nothing is written down.
Enterprise edition is licensed on every core, but few of its features are used.

Database architecture and design, T-SQL development, stored procedures, functions, triggers and views, performance tuning, indexing and execution plan analysis, high availability and disaster recovery, security and auditing, and SQL Server administration.
With a health check: we review waits, the heaviest queries, indexes and execution plans, then fix the changes with the biggest effect first and measure the difference.
Yes. Production database support and incident management, health checks and capacity planning are available as ongoing support or as part of our managed data engineering services.
Yes. We engineer PostgreSQL, MySQL and MongoDB databases as well as Azure SQL Database and Azure SQL Managed Instance.
Yes. We build and maintain SQL Server Integration Services packages, Reporting Services reports and Analysis Services models, and can plan their move to cloud equivalents.
Yes. We run a compatibility assessment, test the application on the new version, then upgrade in place or side by side with a rollback plan for the cut-over window.
Managed Instance offers near-complete SQL Server compatibility, including SQL Agent and cross-database queries. Azure SQL Database suits single-database applications. SQL Server on Azure VMs is the choice when you need full control of the instance.
Yes. We tune queries and configuration, set up replication and partitioning, run version upgrades and migrate to managed services such as Azure Database for PostgreSQL and Amazon RDS.
Often. We review editions, core counts and the features you use, consolidate instances where safe, and check whether Standard edition or Azure Hybrid Benefit applies.
Not at first. The health check runs with read-only permissions. Elevated access is granted only for agreed changes, for a limited time, and through your normal approval process.
