We review the health of your database, including the server configuration, database design, database health, and application performance (worst-performing SQL statements).  You receive a written wellness plan with observations and prioritized recommendations.  Total effort 1-2 days.

Ask for our free, fast diagnostic assessment.  We email you a profiling script, you run the script, email us the results, and we provide initial observations.  No confidential data is captured by this script, and you may review the clear-text file before sending us the results.

We get under the hood, focus on the worst-performing SQL statements, and work with your team to resolve them.  Total effort 2-10 days.

1. •No hidden agenda for selling software or lengthy consulting engagements.  Our goal is to quickly identify solutions to optimize your SQL Server 2000, SQL Server 2005, SQL Server 2008, or SQL Server 2008 R2 database server.
   

2. •Quick start-up.  Predefined Statement of Work (SOW) available.
   

3. •We can work remotely from Seattle (saving you money on travel costs) and collaborate with your team using email, telephone, instant messaging, RDP, or GoToMeeting.
   

4. •We utilize tools you already own, including SQL Profiler, Performance Monitor, and the Management Data Warehouse (new with SQL Server 2008).
   

5. •We do not make changes to your database server unless you say “do it”.
   

6. •We put observations and recommendations in writing.  We believe a consultant should both execute and educate.

Fact: a customer will never complain that your application or web site is too fast.
