The Benefits to Companies

SQLSoft+ Consulting Group is an information technology company located in Bellevue, WA. Our activities are focused on information technology staffing, including consulting, temporary staffing (contracting), and regular full-time placement.

With our sister company SQLSoft+, a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner for Learning Solutions, the first in the Northwest, we can offer unique advantages to our clients.

Receive Training Credits with Every Assignment

Keep your staff up-to-date and involved. For every 200 hours billed by our staff we credit both our customer and staff with one training credit. When two or more staff are billing, customer credits are calculated on a cumulative basis. Depending on the class, two choices are available when applying credits.

For classes designated as Microsoft Official Curriculum or SQLSoft+ developed classes, one credit equals one day of training. These classes can be identified by the Microsoft Official Curriculum or SQLSoft+ logo in the upper right of the detailed online class listing.

For example, MS-2124 Programming with C# (5 days) requires 5 credits. This category also includes some of the SharePoint, SQL Server, and Oracle classes. SQLSoft+ Partner classes are available for one credit for each day of training plus half the tuition.

These classes are identified by the partner logo in the upper right of the detailed online class listing. For example, the 5 day class SQL-242 SQL Server 2005 Architecture, Internals and Tuning, taught by Kalen Delaney, author of the best selling books Inside SQL Server 2000 and Inside SQL Server 2005 and currently offered at $3,950 would require 5 credits and $1,975.

Visit www.sqlsoft.com/Curriculum/Overview.html to view a complete listing of all current scheduled classes. There are over 450 public and private classes available from SQLSoft+.

Billing hours may be applied toward training credits for a period of eighteen months from their billing date. All training materials, which normally consist of workbooks and software, are included.

For classes in the first category, credits and training vouchers from Microsoft’s Software Assurance program may be combined. Enrollment is on a space-available basis and will be confirmed two weeks before the start of class. This program may be altered or discontinued without notice; outstanding credits will still be honored.

Prove It Works Before You Go Live

Lab engagements (proof of concept) at the Microsoft Partner Solutions Center The Microsoft Partner Solutions Center (MPSC) is an information technology laboratory for designing and demonstrating real customer solutions running at scale.

Located on the Microsoft Redmond campus, the facilities and services are designed to engage the enterprise level customer through executive briefings, technology demonstrations, architectural design sessions, proof-of-concept, or training - all of which can be customized for your specific information technology plan.

With our training facility at the MPSC, SQLSoft+ Consulting Group can provide customers with a lab engagement to test plans for implementing any Microsoft based solution. There is no cost for using the lab facilities.

SQLSoft+ Consulting Group staff can help you estimate any additional costs after a lab plan has been submitted. Please contact us for more details.

Let Us Bend Your Ear

Consulting (Subject Matter Experts) Our instructors are certified in their subject areas, and combined with their consulting experience, are considered experts in their field. The majority of expertise is concentrated in Microsoft products, especially ASP.NET, SQL Server 2005, SharePoint Portal 2007, and VISTA deployment; and Oracle, Java, and business intelligence. When not teaching classes our instructors perform their other role of consultant. Assignments are normally two weeks or less on a full-time basis, or longer part-time and usually involve specific topics.
