ONLY Architect Level Certification in Ireland
When Bob Duffy left Microsoft as a Senior SQL Consultant and subject matter expert for DW/BI in 2008, prodata became the SQL Centre of Excellence with a focus on SQL Server and Business Intelligence. We have architects and consults certified to the very highest levels on the Microsoft Platform for SQL Server achieved by only a handful globally.
We have been working on the SQL Server platform for over about 25 years with hundreds of engagement across Ireland for enterprise customers.

Experts at bring the SQL Platform to Azure
Running the SQL platform on azure can be challenging, whether you are just running traditional SQL in VMs (IaaS), running SQL DB (PaaS), or going the whole hog and running the scale out data warehouse Synapse (aka sqldw). In particularity you need to a good understanding of how resources and throttling affect your solution and capacity planning.
Regardless of the flavor of azure we can help implement and optimize having been involved in many Azure database projects and advanced tuning projects.
