I can give one example when SQL Server was purchased by Microsoft from Sybase. Overnight literally everyone claimed to be an expert. I did some research including asking the Microsoft employees I knew. It turned out there was one lady who did all the training at Sybase and who taught the Microsoft employees about their new database. That lady Kalen Delaney spoke highly of a husband and wife consulting team. The husband was ex Microsoft and designed some of the DBCC code. https://www.sqlskills.com/about/meet-the-team/
