Data migration

Get the records into the system that has to run next, with no surprise waiting on Monday morning. Test migrations, a parallel run, and a cutover overnight or at the weekend are part of the job, because the migration nobody notices is the one that went well.

We have moved data between a wide range of database products and flat files, including Microsoft Office and Excel, into Oracle, MySQL, or SQL Server, in the office or hosted.

  1. Use the storage you already have where that saves money
  2. Run the old and new systems together, or switch outside business hours
  3. Let a modern, internet-facing platform sit beside a legacy system operations is not ready to switch off, adding reporting, a supplier view, or an extra service without changing the day job

Choosing the target

Database selection is its own page, because it is a decision you live with for years. We match the engine to the requirement. See database installation and configuration.
