PostgreSQL Migration Support

Evaluating your database prior to the initiation of a database migration is critical to provide an accurate idea upfront of what will be required to ensure a smooth transition without loss of data, unplanned downtime, or unexpected expenses.

In addition to anticipating time requirements, a migration assessment can save your business money by allowing you to plan your time and resources in advance.

Good Reasons to get a Migration Assessment

• Mitigate Migration Risk. Have a clear view of what the successful migration process for your database will entail at an early stage of the project; helping prevent a potential incomplete migration.
• Identify Potential Blockers. Identify and plan for potential issues and/or dependencies that can be experienced during migration.
• Estimate the Effort. Know the amount of work that is required before beginning the migration.
• Estimate Costs. Financially plan for labor, any necessary hardware additions, and post migration training to avoid unexpected expenses.
• Determine Appropriate Architecture. Ensure understanding of database mechanics, including how PostgreSQL handles data so the database can be designed accordingly.

What’s Covered?

• Detailed Estimation of Effort Report. Details of the current system architecture and quantified estimation of the effort needed for migration including cost and time, and ROI.
• Definition of best practices and guidelines. As an advantage of working with the world’s leading PostgreSQL experts your customized assessment includes suggestions based on first hand experience and knowledge.
• Migration Plan. We work with you to provide a customized multi-phase migration plan based on our analysis of your database that includes a timeline and cost estimation.

Migrating from Oracle?
