Ed Leighton-Dick

I have managed complex Microsoft SQL Server environments for over 20 years, and I now help IT leaders, especially in the manufacturing and distribution industries, to eliminate wasted time and unplanned downtime by supercharging the databases that power their mission-critical systems. Using proven processes, I've helped employers and clients achieve 99%+ uptime in production environments, reduce licensing costs, migrate with near-zero downtime, and increase employee productivity. I've also been a passionate volunteer in the SQL Server community for the past thirteen years, leading user groups and conferences in eastern Iowa and surrounding states. Over the past decade, I've spoken at over 150 events and taught SQL Server administration and security to thousands of IT professionals at local, regional, national, and global events. I've been recognized as a Microsoft MVP since 2016. My specialties include high availability, disaster recovery, replication, and cybersecurity. If you'd like to talk about how I can help your organization meet or exceed its goals through technology, please contact me at 319.343.6538 or [email protected].
