Your database doesn’t have to be slow!
Stedman Solutions specializes in SQL Server performance, administration and development projects. Our team understands cost effective approaches to the design, management, and availability of your IT infrastructure. We help improve the performance of your SQL Server by tracking down the root cause and determine a plan of action.
Your free 30 minute consult with Steve Stedman can help determine where to go next.
This is what our process looks like:
- Assess: Stedman Solutions delivers proactive recommendations and an associated roadmap. We focus on customer goals and implement any suggestions/changes given. The free 30 minute consult is where the assessment begins.
- Plan: We will provide a plan to get from your current performance state to where you need to be.
- Design: We deliver a design solution to meet your SQL performance needs. The design can utilize your current infrastructure with recommendations for improved future infrastructure. The design of your database can have a big impact on your overall SQL performance.
- Implement: You have the option to perform the recommendations we’ve given, or we can be involved as much or as little as you’d prefer including any afterhours maintenance needed.
- Educate: We not only find and fix the issues, but we train the customer on how to avoid those problems in the future.
If you know you have performance issues but don’t know where to start, contact us today for a free 30 minute consultation. Our SQL Server performance tuning experts will determine where your problems are hiding.
Adding hardware doesn’t always address the problem
Our Performance service can tune your existing server to run faster without always requiring more hardware. We’ll help you get the most out of your SQL Server. A quick database health check prior to ordering your hardware can help confirm that you are doing the right thing.
Common performance issues that we deal with include:
- Server configuration
- Indexing
- TempDB contention
- Storage and backup issues
- Virtual machine configuration
- SQL query optimization
- and much more.
We also help with:
- Virtual machine with Hyper-V or VMWare
- SAN configuration
- Shorter backup times
- Disk I/O
- Memory
- Index and table design
No matter which SQL Server version, we can track down and provide solutions to fix your performance issues.

Raving Fan of our Services
We can’t recommend this 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!
