“I engaged Bitspark Consulting when starting up a major software development project that will completely redesign the way my systems will operate. It includes a radical new architecture that required specific database and application design work that I just did not have available to me. [BitSpark] took on the task and after only a few weeks, (and on time and budget!) delivered my design specification that will go straight to the developers. The work was excellent, and of the highest quality. I’m impressed, and will continue to utilize Bitspark as my project takes shape. I highly recommend them to anyone working in a .Net SQL Server environment.”
