Migration & Modernisation
We run version upgrades, platform moves and SQL Server to PostgreSQL migrations with assessment, rehearsal and a rollback plan, inside a controlled downtime window.
01Problems we solve
What organisations most often face in this area.
- P.01
Versions out of support
Versions no longer patched; an upgrade project postponed every year and growing.
- P.02
Unknown compatibility risk
Nobody knows how the features in use will behave on the new version or target platform.
- P.03
Downtime anxiety
Without knowing how long the cutover takes or whether it can be reversed, no decision is made.
- P.04
Licence and cost pressure
Alternative platforms are on the table, but the application impact has not been measured.
02Migration method
Four phases, a decision gate in each.
No phase starts until the previous phase's output is approved. A way back is defined at every step.
Illustrative example — not real client data
01
Assessment
Inventory, feature usage, dependencies, compatibility risks.
- Assessment report
- Risk register
Method approval
02
Planning
Method, downtime window, rehearsal schedule, validation criteria.
- Migration plan
- Rollback plan
Rehearsal approval
- Planned downtime window
03
Migration
Rehearsal in a test environment, then step-by-step execution in the planned window.
- Rehearsal results
- Execution log
Go-live decision
04
Validation
Data integrity, application behaviour and performance comparison.
- Validation report
- Hand-over to monitoring

04Value to the organisation
What changes for management.
Controlled downtime
Downtime is measured in rehearsal, not estimated.
A way back
Every step has a defined rollback path.
A current platform
Supported, secure infrastructure that can be maintained.
