For those challanges - national & international - I am available:
Performance Troubleshooting
Analysis of system-weaknesses ("bottlenecks")
Optimization of database-server performance (proprietary db and MS SQL Server™ db)
Optimization of index management with MS SQL Server™, incl. SIFT/VSIFT (Sum-Index-Flowfield-Technology) structures
Optimization of locking mechanisms, finding causes of "deadlocks" and erasing them
Installation of the "NAV/SQL Performance Toolbox" - gratis! - in workshop included!
Consulting and support when implementing Microsoft® Dynamics™ NAV during all project-phases
Design of system concept, process-definition and -optimization
Integration of external components, applications, etc.
Support of development/programming in NAV
Programming in C/SIDE™ & C/AL™
Design of interfaces
Quality-assurance and debugging of C/AL™ source code
Training/Coaching of administrators and developers/programmers - and especially Dynamics Partners!
And much more. ... please ask!
I do not offer my services only to NAV users; of course I'm also supporting MS Dynamics Partners with their NAV projects or in workshops and trainings!

Well, if you consult a doctor about your problem, you may not want him to publish you on his "Reference-List" ...
So far I have supported more than 1000 projects (and counting) so I dare to claim to be the most experienced NAV/SQL troubleshooter around!
P.S.: What some "competitor" claims as reference customer on his website is not necessarily a matter if fact.
Many customers have already replaced their troubleshooter and also the (previoulsy expensively purchased) tuning-software ...
Let's start
FAQ: how do we proceed, to optimize a [NAV]SQL System?
Well, a first analysis could be accomplished via Remote-Session/AnyDesk where we basically could proceed like this:
General assessment of SQL Server (we’ll need access to the SQL Server machine with 100% permissions); optionally NST
Preparation of configuration-changes (if necessary); execution to be discussed
Analysis of various SQL Caches – it is most important to NOT re-start the SQL service prior to the session, else valuable data would be lost!
Implementation of fixes (to be discussed) based on 3.
Installation „SSI Performance Toolbox“
Optionally: check on backup strategy, maintenance & misc.
Preparation/Scheduling of several measurements (based on 5.); data to be analyzed after the session
Such an Initial-Session normally takes about 3 to 4 hours; then it all depends on the kind & amount of problems we would find ….
In most cases we would be able to implement a solid package of results right during this first session; giving visible improvements!
Here you could find the reocrding of a presentation I hold during NAV TechDays 2015 in Antwerp.
It should give you an impression about the challenges we have to face in terms of "Tuning & Troubleshooting";
and how we could approach those issues:
