Plan your migration Free maturity assessment

Sound familiar?

Your legacy database or warehouse is out of support or too costly.
Hundreds of reports and ETL jobs need to move, and nobody knows them all.
A previous migration overran on time and budget.
You can't afford downtime or data loss during the switch.

What you'll get

A complete inventory and migration plan before any data moves.
Automated conversion and reconciliation to prove nothing was lost.
Phased cut-over with fallback options and minimal downtime.
A modern platform that's cheaper to run and easier to change.

Our Migration Expertise

Our team of experts combines deep technical expertise with proven migration frameworks to ensure your data, workloads, and reports move securely and efficiently unlocking new capabilities across Microsoft Azure, Power BI, and Fabric ecosystems.

Data Platform Migration

Move from on-premises databases or data warehouses to the cloud with minimal downtime. We specialise in migrating workloads from SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL, or Teradata to Azure SQL Database, Azure Synapse Analytics, and Microsoft Fabric. Our approach ensures performance optimisation, security, and cost control every step of the way.

Database Migration

We deliver end-to-end database migration services including schema conversion, data validation, performance tuning, and post-migration optimisation. Common scenarios include:

Oracle to Azure SQL Database or SQL Managed Instance
SQL Server to Azure SQL Database or SQL Managed Instance
On-premises SQL Server to Azure SQL Database or Synapse
MySQL or PostgreSQL to Azure Database Platforms

Analytics & BI Migration

Modernise your analytics capabilities by moving to cloud-native and integrated solutions:

Power BI Report Server to Power BI Service or Microsoft Fabric
Azure Analysis Services to Power BI Premium or Fabric
Power BI Premium SKU migration to Fabric SKUs
Legacy Reporting (SSRS, Crystal Reports) to Power BI or Paginated Reports
SSAS Tabular or Multidimensional to Power BI datasets

ETL & Data Pipeline Migration

Migrate your legacy data integration workflows (e.g., SSIS, Informatica, or Talend) into Azure Data Factory or Synapse Pipelines for enhanced scalability, automation, and monitoring.

Database Administration & Performance Tuning

Slow, unstable databases are often what prompts a migration, but they don't always need one. Our database administrators find and fix the underlying causes of performance problems in SQL Server environments, on premises or in Azure, led by our Principal Database Administrator, a Microsoft Certified Azure Database Administrator. Typical work includes:

Performance tuning: slow queries, indexing, statistics and wait analysis
Health checks and troubleshooting across distributed SQL Server instances
High availability, backup and recovery reviews
Ongoing monitoring and support through our managed services

Our Migration Approach

Our approach ensures data consistency, operational continuity, and compliance with enterprise or government standards. We follow a structured, low-risk methodology designed for enterprise-grade reliability:

1. Assessment & Planning

Comprehensive analysis of existing systems, data volumes, dependencies, and performance requirements to inform migration planning.

2. Design & Strategy

Crafting tailored migration blueprints that prioritise data integrity, security, and minimal downtime. Our strategies align with your business goals and technical requirements.

3. Pilot & Validation

Executing pilot migrations to validate processes, identify potential issues, and refine strategies before full-scale execution.

4. Migration Execution

End-to-end management of the migration process, including data transfer, system configuration, and cutover planning to ensure a smooth transition.

5. Optimisation & Governance

Post-migration performance tuning, cost optimisation, and implementation of governance frameworks to ensure ongoing success in the new environment.

How we work

Inventory

We catalogue databases, pipelines and reports, and identify what to retire.

Plan

We design the target platform and a phased migration plan with clear risks.

Migrate

We convert and move workloads in waves, reconciling data at every step.

Cut over

We switch over with fallback plans, then decommission the old platform.

Data Migration Use Cases

Typical migrations we plan and deliver with careful testing and reconciliation, and without surprises on cut-over day.

Logistics & distribution

Legacy data warehouse to Microsoft Fabric

The challenge: An on-premises SQL Server warehouse and hundreds of SSIS packages are nearing end of support and getting slower every month.
What we build: A full inventory, a re-platform to a Fabric lakehouse and warehouse, conversion of SSIS logic to modern pipelines, and a parallel run with reconciliation.
The outcome: A modern, scalable platform with numbers verified against the old system before switch-over.

Consolidating BI tools onto one platform

The challenge: Two or three reporting tools mean duplicate reports, overlapping licences and confusion over which version is right.
What we build: A report inventory and prioritisation, rebuilds on shared semantic models, side-by-side validation and training for report users.
The outcome: One BI platform, lower licence costs and reports that match.

Manufacturing

Clean data for a new ERP

The challenge: A move to a new ERP means bringing across decades of messy, duplicated customer, product and supplier data.
What we build: Data profiling, cleansing and de-duplication, field mapping, repeatable trial loads and reconciliation sign-off with the business.
The outcome: Go-live with clean, trusted master data and no last-minute surprises.

Moving databases to the cloud with minimal downtime

The challenge: Costly database licences and ageing hardware, but the business can't afford a long outage.
What we build: An assessment and schema conversion, continuous replication to a managed cloud database and a rehearsed, short cut-over window.
The outcome: Lower licence and hardware costs, managed backups and a cut-over measured in minutes, not days.
