One of the chief things my clients complain about when opening support cases with Microsoft is that the people working support tickets on the Microsoft side… Aren’t actually Microsoft employees.
They’re third party vendors.
When they end up working with a third party vendor, the lack of expertise and poor communication is obvious and painful.
Many support cases are handled by third party vendors, and my clients often complain that their staff has totally inadequate SQL Server knowledge to do the job.
Even when my clients do get someone from Microsoft, the person they get is juggling an enormous caseload. The truly knowledgeable folks are worked to the bone and scattered across hundreds of cases.
The amount of turnover in support roles at Microsoft is also pretty astounding. I used to know a lot of people who worked in them, and… they’ve all moved on to other roles.
At this point, you’re lucky to get someone with 18 months of SQL Server experience handling your support case. That’s a far cry from when 18 months was about the minimum experience you’d find.
The worst part? I have clients who have paid Microsoft upwards of $75k USD for support contracts, and they can’t get anyone to answer basic questions or help with basic troubleshooting.

But you won’t get it any time soon from Microsoft.
They’ve cratered their once excellent support infrastructure and replaced it with a frustrating, pass-the-buck, often indifferent group of third-party vendors, and overworked internal staff.
The decline in Microsoft SQL Server support quality can have serious consequences for your business. Inefficient support can lead to extended downtime, data loss, and decreased productivity.
Your business deserves better, and that’s where I come in.
With years of experience in SQL Server management and support, I understand the complexities and the importance of prompt, effective support.
Here’s what I offer:
Don’t let declining support quality affect your business. Hire me to handle your support tickets and ensure that your SQL Server environment receives the expert care it deserves.
With my help, you can focus on what you do best — running your business — while I take care of the rest.
Reach out today to discuss how I can support your SQL Server needs and provide the expertise and reliability that your business deserves.
Together, we can ensure that your technology works for you, not against you.

Session Abstract:
Whether you want to be the next great query tuning wizard, or you just need to learn how to start solving tough business problems at work, you need a solid understanding of not only what makes things fast, but also what makes them slow.
I work with consulting clients worldwide fixing complex SQL Server performance problems. I want to teach you how to do the same thing using the same troubleshooting tools and techniques I do.
I’m going to crack open my bag of tricks and show you exactly how I find which queries to tune, indexes to add, and changes to make. In this day long session, you’re going to learn about hardware, query rewrites that work, effective index design patterns, and more.
Before you get to the cutting edge, you need to have a good foundation. I’m going to teach you how to find and fix performance problems with confidence.
