Data Education
Data Education has been a Platinum Sponsor of SNESSUG since 2012. We thank them for their continued sponsorship in 2013. Data Education (formerly Boston SQL Training) was founded in early 2009 by Adam Machanic, a Microsoft SQL Server MVP, author, consultant, and trainer. Machanic saw a need for quality database training at a higher, more advanced level than was currently being offered in the northeastern United States. Boston SQL Training was created and quickly filled that need.
Since then, Data Education has grown into a full-service training company, specializing in courses targeting DBAs, developers, and business intelligence professionals. Data Education brings the experts in the database field to its students, from bestselling SQL Server authors to the nation’s premier business intelligence consultants.
