SQL Server data comparison - here we go round again

  Today we officially launched new project designated to compare data in tables of different databases, analyse it, and transfer to (synchronize with) another SQL Server database (Data Compare for SQL Server).  You must noticed that we mention "The most powerful data comparison and data transfer tool for SQL Server".  Doubt?  So we have really solid argument on it - we made this tool once before.  If you are surprised, don't try to find something like "Optillect SQL Data Compare" right now - you won't, but let me explain.  The lead developers of a well-known tool (to compare data in SQL Server databases) joined Optillect Team from the very beginning.  Having so great experience in that area we decided to start the project from the point zero, which allows us to design more perfect program's infrastructure and introduce fresh ideas and concepts.  By now we have already tested some innovations and got outstanding results.  Thus we have all required knowledge, and it's time just to put everything together..
  We make you sure the final solution will be as excellent as claimed.  Stay with us to be happy :)

Quality Assured

  One month ago we launched SQL Decryptor Beta, but today we released it.  The only thing we added to new version is an ability to choose a SQL Server instance from a local network.  As for bug-fixes.. we didn't any :) because the absence of such.  Yes, we made a high-quality software at one push as promised, counting more than 600 downloads, several positive feedbacks, and any single user issue.  Of course, you might yell "Any bugs? Impossible! Every software has at least one minor issue.", and you will be absolutely right.  In fact, Optillect's QA Team did really good job, and left programmers snowed under with 30 issues on such simple application.  BUT all these problems concern the convenience of GUI and don't touch the back-end, and most of them extremely hard to spot, so you'll probably never face them.  Don't worry, we'll eliminate all issues for sure, because our target is the perfect quality :)
  Wonder how we reached such level of quality from the word go? To be honest, it was pretty easy for Optillect's professional team, because we used to do everything ingeniously and scrupulously as experts with huge experience and diverse skills.  This is first key to success, and the second is the latest technologies..  Since WPF evolved it became much easier to separate UI from bussiness logic than ever before.  This advantage let us completely test application's back-end with unit tests before it reaches QA Team.  Thus programmers are totally responsible for the program's behaviour (developed by specification), but testers have much more time to concentrate on the UI and concepts, rather than do comprehensive check by the same specification.  However, we have everyone engaged in various project's tasks, rather than entrust a particular job to a particular specialist.  This approach helps everyone in a team understand the whole project and it's final target, therefore bring a perfect solution considered in details.
  Stay with us and we guarantee satisfaction and excellence in Optillect's next products :)
