Idera believes in and wants to invest in the SQL Server community and there is no better way to show our commitment than to offer a program that will help active community members. That’s why we created the Idera Advisors & Community Educators (ACE) program for SQL Server. The Idera ACEs are active members of the SQL Server community who have a passion for helping the community by sharing their knowledge and participating in SQL Server educational events. We’re helping the ACEs pursue their passion by sponsoring their travel to a number of SQL Server events.
We are excited to have a stellar group of individuals as part of our ACE program:
