Here is what our Customers had to say

Steve really is “The Man”.

Steve is your SQL guy. I have been an IT solutions provider for over 25 years and I have worked with many professionals and Steve is one of the best. I had a client with an old SQL 2005 server and database with some major corruption. Before I came onboard, my client had been searching for a “SQL Professional” for almost a year working with a database that would surely not mount if the server was restarted. Steve Stedman came to the rescue and worked (almost non stop) until the database was usable. Steve kept me in the loop at all stages of the repair. I could not have asked for anyone better.
Steve really is “The Man”.

Top 1% in their Market

We contacted Steve when we were in desperate need of repair on a corrupted SQL database. After dealing with a couple of other vendors without success, we found Steve (Stedman Solutions) through a Google search that showed some promising reviews and reached out to discuss our issue. This turned out to be the best possible decision. Not only did he connect right away with us, he set realistic expectations and pricing. Steve and his team began work almost immediately and stayed in constant contact throughout the entire process. It is clear that Steve and Derrick are in the top 1% in their market. The end result was a 99% recovery of the corruption, and the remining 1% was irrelevant and not needed. Out database performs as good or better now than it did before the corruption. We would not hesitate to recommend Steve, Derrick and the rest of the team to anyone in need of the services that Stedman Solutions offers. They are worth every penny.

By far the best I have ever seen

We were in a bind, our clients are a manufacturing facility with 1000+ workers heavily reliant on their ERP system to run their operations. Their products are highly sensitive and require tracking each transaction for compliance purposes so this basically means manufacturing stops if the ERP stops… And we had a major SQL DB failure. Almost 2 full days of production was lost, high cost, high pressure and high stress.
The hardware was not optimal, which didn’t help for time constraints and we were facing DBCC failures that just simply were not documented (or at least google had no results).
We scoured the web for hints and tricks to help solve this issue and came across stevestedman.com and submitted a request for consultation, not knowing what to expect.
Steve and Derrick were fantastic, they were able to pinpoint the issue within a very short timeframe and helps us get back up and running. Their expertise and specialist knowledge in this area of database corruption is by far the best I have ever seen. A big KUDOS to you both and a big THANK YOU for fast and quick response.

Stedman Solutions were no less than amazing!

Stedman Solutions were no less than amazing!
We were in a major bind; we had corruption in a SQL Database and all kinds of finger pointing from my software and hardware vendors. From one of my vendors “ …here is a Microsoft paper on how to fix this error”. I was at the end of the rope.
The corruption had been occurring for an unknown period of time, then it completely died! (all the backups were corrupt for who knows how long). Steve and team went to work immediately and worked virtually non-stop until the problem was resolved.
We had no data loss and very little business time down.
GREAT JOB, and highly recommended!

Steve is like gold.

We were having trouble with incorrect pageid errors only when running backup and restore operations on a certain file. I spent hours trying to resolve the issue to no avail. I ran across one of Steve’s blog posts in my research. His article emphatically stated to *NOT* do all the things I had just done. So I reached out to him to see if he could help. He responded quickly. Within minutes I had him on a remote session on the server and in minutes he completed what I was working hours on. Steve really knows his stuff. I’m keeping his contact info close by. When your SQL DB goes belly up, knowing a guy like Steve is like gold.

We can’t recommend them highly enough!

As a community health center with many competing priorities and limited resources, we sought out Stedman Solutions for help with optimizing, maintaining, and upgrading our aging SQL infrastructure. We’ve engaged with Steve and Derrick for several SQL-related projects, including an initial assessment and optimization, and a “forklift” upgrade to a newer version of SQL required by one of our software vendors – and we couldn’t be happier to work with them.
Each project we’ve worked with them on has been a great experience for us – they are consummate professionals, providing very detailed scope-of-work proposals and taking the time to explain it all in as much or as little detail as you need, so you know exactly what to expect. And perhaps most importantly (and a rarity with many consulting professionals these days), they say exactly what they’ll do, and do exactly what they say. Thoroughness and follow-through are never a concern when working with them on a project.
We feel quite fortunate to have Stedman Solutions available as our SQL expert partners, and we can’t recommend them highly enough!

SQL Database

Unlike a Typical Consultant

We are moving our SaaS offering from one cloud provider to another and took the opportunity to evaluate our database performance and security ahead of the move. Steve and team worked with us to do an assessment of current state and suggest changes that would both make the move easier as well as improve the performance of our overall application. The team is very knowledgeable and easy to work with. What I liked most is that unlike a typical consultant, they did not just make recommendations, present them and leave; they worked with us to implement the recommendations in our test and production environments and followed up to make sure they had the desired effects. We will be working with Steve’s team in the future to ensure our database is always in tip top shape.
