Microsoft SQL Server Expertise

Microsoft SQL Server is one of the world's most popular database management server products, but has evolved in recent years to encompass a diverse variety of data management and analysis functions. It’s capable of taking on the most demanding data scenarios and volumes while protecting your data with the utmost reliability.

We’ve been working with Microsoft SQL Server since version 6.5 in the late nineties, and have extensive experience with every version since then in the most demanding production scenarios. We’ve seen the massive leaps in reliability and functionality of the product in that time, and stayed busy learning and using new features every step of the way.

Looking to the future

We’re already building solutions with SQL Server 2008, but we’re still working on and supporting systems implemented on SQL Server 7.0, SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005. Change for change’s sake is not our goal; we’ll use and recommend a new technology or feature only when we’re satisfied that it’s a genuine improvement and one that meets our client’s requirements more closely than any older or proven alternatives.

Tailored to your needs

Benefitting from the power of SQL Server doesn’t have to mean big investments in server infrastructure, either: there are SQL Server versions for every level of business need ranging from free, low-impact, high-functionality products like SQL Express and SQL Server Compact right up to Enterprise editions capable of handling terabytes of data and thousands of user connections in busy data centres.
