What Folks Are Saying About RisingRoad



New Material Here Foxhound is great! I've found it tremendously useful in being able to quickly look at meaningful database performance / schema parameters without investing much time in using disconnected technologies to get the same info or writing singular queries and generating the data presentation. Within an hour, I've identified several areas in my schema design that need improvement to maximize query performance. I can also see where this application can be used in a mature product to evaluate whether the existing schema is appropriately scaling. I ran it on the HITS database and quickly saw the issues with our big tables that require further optimization.

Once in a while, it's nice to find that diamond in the rough who understands the work, cuts to the chase, and provides top-level quality. Breck Carter's efforts have been the most productive and efficient consulting services we've used to date. Breck's depth of knowledge, access to information, and a superb technical book that answers most of the questions were critical to our ASA and Mobilink development. And he has a sense of humor to keep it all in perspective. All good things from RisingRoad....thanks.

Hi all,

Just a kindly message that Our Chinese Version of SQL Anywhere Studio 9 Developers Guide originally by Breck Carter and localized by you has been printed for the second time. I just got this message from local publisher. We printed 4,000 copies at the first time and they are all sold out in the mid of March. The addtional 2,000 copies have been finished last week. Hope this is helpful. Thanks again for your great help and support of such a wonderful work!

best regards,

Our development team worked with RisingRoad to develop a new product offering based on ASA and MobiLink. Their knowledge, experience and professionalism were essential to the successful development and rollout of this product; the work was consistently on-time, within budget, and of high quality. If you are looking for consulting services for ASA and/or MobiLink, I highly recommend RisingRoad.

Thanks for the outstanding support and ideas on resolving our communication problems with Adaptive Server 6.0.4. It was especially nice that you took the time to help us with an older version of the software in lieu of suggesting we upgrade the software before trying to help us. Your responses were timely, effective and right on key with the problem which made me look pretty good when it was all over.

Keep up the good work and thanks again,

Dear Mr. Carter,

We are sending this letter to acknowledge and thank you and RisingRoad staff for the outstanding support given to our company during the analysis, programming and deployment of our MobiLink server project.

We were most impressed with the way the RisingRoad team was able to blend with our staff, adapting its technical way of developing to the cultural details of a multi-national and multi-language environment. Not only did we achieve our goals but we did it in less time and with better quality than was expected.

Another characteristic to praise in RisingRoad staff was the technology transfer, which exceeded the most optimistic expectations. When your staff left us after finalizing the project, our team was totally capable of assuming full maintenance of what was developed, as well as to successfully continue the development and implementation of the other phases of the project. We had no contractual issues, receiving more than what was planned with no requests for over payment or renegotiations. As a user of outsourced services, we found it quite rewarding to experience this behavior from a contractor.

A special thanks to you, as we could rely on your expertise, guidance and dedication during the whole project. Since this project is vital for the company's business, we feel that we received more than a consulting job - we were able to find a top notch professional with whom we intend to continue partnering in future developments.

Please feel free to use this letter as a referral from us as well as using my contact data for any future references you may need. You are authorized also to publish the letter in your website or any written material to your clients.

Again, thank you and the RisingRoad staff for the excellent services rendered.

Breck's chapter of his book he sent us was very good. It was very easy to understand the process of MobiLink and how all of the pieces fit together. He used great examples that made it easier when it came to writing the MobiLink scripts. He also laid out the specifics of each script in a way that was easy to understand. He seems to be very good at taking a complicated subject and explaining it in a simplified manner. We should make sure this book is on our shelf when it is published.
