Database Migration

A failed migration costs more than the migration itself

The riskiest moment for a database is migration. Lost data, extended downtime, applications that stop working: these are real scenarios when you proceed without a solid plan.

Our methodology starts with an assessment, moves through a staging environment where everything is tested, and arrives at the production migration with a rollback plan ready. Downtime is measured in minutes, not days.

What we do

Pre-migration assessment

Analysis of the source environment: versions, dependencies, non-standard objects, stored procedures, triggers, linked servers, SQL Agent jobs. Risk identification before touching anything.

Cross-platform migrations

Migration from Oracle to SQL Server, MySQL to SQL Server, legacy databases to modern versions. Object conversion, query adaptation, regression testing of applications.

SQL Server version upgrades

Planned upgrades from SQL Server 2008/2012/2014/2016 to supported versions. Compatibility level testing, deprecated feature analysis, pre and post migration performance testing.

Cloud migration

Migration from on-premise SQL Server to Azure SQL Database, Azure SQL Managed Instance or AWS RDS. Target architecture selection, sizing, network and security configuration.

Instance consolidation

Unification of multiple database instances into a single infrastructure. Naming conflict analysis, consolidation strategies, licensing cost optimisation.

Rollback plan

Every migration includes a documented and tested rollback plan. If something goes wrong, you can revert within a defined timeframe.

Who it’s for

CTOs, IT managers and system integrators who need to handle critical database migrations without risking business continuity.
