Northwest Michigan SQL Server User Group

Welcome to the Northwest Michigan SQL Server User Group

		Welcome
Our chapter is located near the beautiful shores of Lake Michigan in Traverse City Michigan. While the area has been recognized historically for its tourism, there is a large community of technology professionals in the area. Many of these professionals support national and international business. This chapter has been formed to bring focus on SQL Server as a technology that is used to manage one of the most important assets an enterprise owns – its data. This chapter will be successful if it strengthens Northwest Michigan’s technology professionals’ understanding and use of SQL Server and related technologies.
