“Redgate tools have helped me become a better and more efficient developer. Their support helped us grow our local user group and SQLSaturday. And their community focus played a part in changing my life. Because of this, I want to give back where I can, and I get to do that by being a Friend of Redgate.”
“We work with the Redgate development and product teams to provide feedback on existing products, new tools, and feature enhancements. You can also find us doing things like speaking at events, writing articles on Redgate tools, and participating on the Redgate forums. Last year, I even got to present at SQL in the City Summit in Chicago as a result of being in this program.”
“As a multi-year awardee in the program I get to see first-hand the continuing dedication Redgate has to the SQL community and to making great software.”
“The first time I experienced #SQLFamily was with Redgate. They’re very community focused. The program is a collaboration area between Redgaters and Friends. I’ve made lifelong friends and have gained an insight into the tools, which has been extremely beneficial.”
