Migration Risk Mitigation
Move to cloud or newer SQL versions with minimal downtime and maximum confidence.
The Problem
Moving to cloud platforms or upgrading to newer SQL Server versions carries significant risk. Extended downtime, compatibility issues, performance degradation, and data integrity problems can all derail your migration project.
Without proper planning, assessment, and testing, migrations often exceed planned downtime windows, encounter unexpected compatibility issues, or result in post-migration performance problems that frustrate users and impact business operations.
The stakes are high: failed migrations can cost hundreds of thousands in lost productivity and emergency remediation.
