Allan Mitchell is an enthusiast and practitioner of SQL Server version 6.5. He is currently specializing in the improvement of tools for Business Intelligence, offered from SQL 7.0. He is doing so as co-owner of a small but very professional British consultancy firm, Konesans Ltd.

His motto is "to obtain the highest quality with the right data from the right people at the right time". This idea is in fact often overlooked in the implementation of many Business Intelligence projects.

Allan is a very active member of the SQL Server community, presenting highly interesting issues at numerous conferences around the world. He also assists with the organization of the SQL Bits conference (this year already in its fourth edition). Allan has held the title of SQL Server MVP continuously since 2004, and also runs two very interesting sites:

SQL Server Integration Services - SSIS

Data Transformation Services on the web

Mad about computing for over 25 years, he wrote his first program on the 8-bit Meritum. For several years after his studies he sought his correct address: he worked as a database administrator, inculcator, documentation creator and developer, as well as in jobs less related to data processing - as an editor and TV technician.

For five years he has not changed position, though the list of his duties is consistently extended: until recently he worked as a trainer at Comp Safe Support, while he also teaches at school and university, is the author of books and articles (TechNet) and maintains the SQL Server section on the WSS portal.

Marcin holds such titles as Microsoft Certified Trainer (MCT) and - for two years - Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) in the SQL category.
