Steve Jones

My background is I have been working with computers since I was about 12. My first "career" job in this industry was with network administration where I became the local DBA by default. I have also spent lots of time administering Netware and NT networks, developing software, managing smaller IT groups, making lots of coffee, ordering pizza for late nights, etc., etc.

I currently am the editor of SQL Server Central and an advocate/architect at Redgate Software. I am also the President of SQL Saturday, maintain the T-SQL Tuesday monthly party, and remember our colleagues at sqlmemorial.org.

You can find out more about me on my blog (www.voiceofthedba.com) or LinkedIn (www.linkedin.com/in/way0utwest)

Compliance

The Sarbanes-Oxley act has become a four letter word to many IT people in the US. Thankfully I only had to deal with it for about 9 months before I left to go work on my own, but it was a long 9 months. Especially since I did half the work with JD Edwards and then did it again with Peoplesoft 🙁
