I’ve been with DSharp for just over a year now and we have had the time of our lives! During 2022 almost all our company functions have taken a big leap forward. We have gained many new customers and worked on tens of projects with our current customers and partners. The vibe in all business areas has been very good. A new investor committed to our growth and we became a fully independent company! We also hired a new Business Development Lead, Konsta Weber, to take us international. 

Overall the interest in our unique way of building low code (or even no code!) data warehouses has been great and is increasing. Our public training courses have been fully booked almost every month and additionally we have given seminars and workshops as well as been leading business modeling projects. Efficient collaboration between management, business representatives and Data professionals is one key to success. Professional services have been record high, we have helped customers and partners with data warehouse architecture, POCs and data warehouse optimization. I’m happy to say that all this has led to having our monthly license revenue doubled during the year! 

Our main product, D# Engine, has been receiving well-deserved attention. We published four new versions this year, three of them minor releases and one major release with our first open source target database support, PostgreSQL. Now we are publishing another major version, 4.0! This includes full support for Microsoft Azure Synapse dedicated pool with automatic distribution and index selection. This version concludes our full support for the Microsoft ecosystem, and now we can deploy the data warehouse to an on-premise SQL Server, Azure SQL database (all versions) and Azure Synapse dedicated pool, all based on the same conceptual model. And any migration between these is done just by pressing one button! This is also true for PostgreSQL. 

Stay tuned! During 2023 we will continue growing and we have exciting features in the pipeline! Creating, extending and maintaining a data warehouse has never been easier! 

I want to thank all of you – customers, partners, developers, everyone – for everything we have done together! Cooperation with all of you has been really good and fun! 

I wish you all a Happy New Year and see you next year! 

Best regards, 

Tero-Matti 

DSharp Engine on the Microsoft Azure Marketplace

The DSharp Engine can now be found on all Microsoft’s marketplaces: Azure Marketplace and AppSource.

– The cooperation with Microsoft has progressed to the point where we can take our software to the world together with them. As a cooperation partner, Microsoft brings the necessary credibility in the international market, Konsta Weber, business development lead, describes the importance of the step.

The listing process involved several meetings with different Microsoft representants. Microsoft has a well-designed path for entering the marketplace so once the first more tricky steps had been taken the process continued smoothly.

Microsoft AppSource is a place to find business solutions. Microsoft Azure Marketplace is designed to be used by developers. As the DSharp Engine serves both business users and developers it is suited to be present in both Marketplaces.

DSharp has worked with Microsoft for a long time. The databases we support in Azure are Azure SQL Database and Microsoft Synapse Analytics. We also support SQL Server Databases for on-premise implementations. Taking DSharp Engine to the marketplaces was a logical next step.

In the future we aim to deepen our collaboration with Microsoft in co-selling and offering a wider range of products in Azure.

Beginning to sell our solution through Microsoft on its Marketplaces brings us new opportunities to expand our international sales.
