In 2016, New Zealand cloud-services company, Lucidity, redesigned its database service using Microsoft SQL Server 2016. With every element of database management – including specialist DBA support – bundled into a single subscription, it can provide an economical, all-in-one, managed data-platform service to small and medium-sized business, radically re-shaping its own market.
