SQL databases
Reports run in seconds, not minutes — on well-designed data.
We design, tune and support SQL Server and Azure SQL databases and data warehouses, with nightly ETL that feeds your reports.
How it works
- 1Database review
We review the structure, the heaviest queries, the indexes and the server load, and find what slows your reports and ERP down.
- 2Data model
We design the tables and relationships so the data is reliable, free of duplicates and easy to report on.
- 3Tuning
We rewrite slow queries, add the right indexes and check the execution plan — reports become many times faster.
- 4Warehouse and ETL
We build a data warehouse that loads every night from your ERP and other systems and feeds Power BI and your reports.
Fast, reliable data
- Tuning slow reports
A report that took minutes returns in seconds — without replacing the server.
- Indexes and execution plans
The right indexes and statistics, checked against real queries, not guessed.
- Data warehouse
Data from all your systems in one place, organised for analysis, with history for every year.
- ETL pipelines
Nightly loading and cleaning of data from your ERP, accounting, files and APIs, with an alert when something fails.
Support and security
- Backup and restore
Automatic backup and tested restores, so data can be brought back to an exact moment.
- Monitoring
We watch load, slow queries and database growth and act before users feel a problem.
- Permissions and roles
Every user and application has only the access it needs.
- Reporting replica
A read-only copy of the database that reports run from, so heavy queries do not slow the ERP down.
- Upgrades and migrations
Moving to a new SQL Server version or to Azure SQL with no data loss.
- Documented model
A description of the tables and relationships, so every new developer or report starts quickly.
What it includes
- Reports in seconds instead of minutes
- Usually without a new server
- A warehouse with data from all your systems
- Nightly loads that never fail silently
A good fit if
- Reports slow the ERP down for everyone
- We are not sure our backup actually works
- Every department has its own numbers for the same thing
Technology
Frequently asked questions
Why are our reports slow?
Most often because of missing indexes, queries that read whole tables, or reports that run on the same server as the ERP. The database review shows the exact cause.
Do we need a new server?
Usually not. Most slow reports are fixed by tuning queries and indexes, with no new hardware.
Do you work with our ERP database?
Yes. We tune and extend it carefully without disturbing the ERP, and often move reporting and analytics to a separate warehouse.
What is a data warehouse?
A separate database where data from all your systems is collected every night, organised for analysis. Reports run from it without loading the ERP.
SQL Server or Azure SQL?
Both. We work with the database where it is and help move to Azure SQL when it makes sense.
Who maintains the database afterwards?
We can take over monitoring, backup and tuning, under the agreed support plan.
