Candidus Data Lab

Most database consultancies staff junior engineers behind a senior sales pitch. Candidus Data Lab doesn't have a bench: every engagement, from performance tuning to full SQL Server-to-Azure SQL migrations, is scoped and delivered directly by a senior engineer with 15 years of hands-on experience in federal, financial services, and healthcare production environments. Engagements are fixed-fee, not hourly, so the incentive is finishing the work well, not running a clock. Core focus: Always On availability group troubleshooting, disaster recovery planning, SQL Server-to-Azure migrations, licensing cost reduction, and AI-augmented database operations using Copilot and Azure AI Foundry. Every project starts with a free 20-minute fit call.
