What we did

  • Provided vendor-agnostic cloud consulting and migration advice as well as managed services—an end-to-end engagement as a trusted partner 
  • Performed a feasibility study on migrating from Oracle to SQL Server; analyzed all of the data types, store procedures, and the schema on the company’s Oracle database, then verified that the data itself and the application were ideally suited to SQL Server
  • Recommended a migration to a SQL Server environment and provided a proposal for implementing the migration 
  • Provided Cloud Migration Services to convert one of their clients from Oracle to SQL Server and hosting the infrastructure in Microsoft Azure; this was a proof-of-concept (PoC) project (all other clients remained on Oracle and the on-premises servers)
  • Providing continued managed services for the two environments to support all of the client’s needs with site reliability engineering and monitoring for the six-month PoC testing period
