Senior-led database delivery
Database Migration Services
Move business-critical databases between on-premises environments or into the cloud with senior DB developers and DBAs accountable for defined migration workstreams.
US-incorporated · Senior-led · Direct and under-your-brand delivery
When to bring us in
Start with the operating problem.
For technology teams replacing infrastructure, changing database engines, consolidating estates, or adding delivery capacity to an active migration. Start with the source, target, application dependencies, permitted interruption, and desired handover date.
Service scope
Agree the responsibilities before delivery begins.
01Assess the source and target
Inventory schemas, stored procedures, scheduled jobs, data types, integrations, identities, and operational dependencies. Separate a same-engine infrastructure move from a cross-engine conversion with application changes.
02Convert and reconcile
Define SQL and schema conversion work, exception handling, representative test data, and business reconciliation. Compare records and aggregates alongside application behavior; record unsupported features and unresolved dependencies.
03Rehearse the cutover
Sequence synchronization, write freezes, final checks, application switching, stakeholder updates, and acceptance. Agree rollback triggers and who can authorize each decision before the production window.
04Stabilize the destination
Validate workload performance, scheduled jobs, reporting, backups, monitoring, and access after migration. Hand over runbooks and a prioritized backlog, or transition into managed database operations.
What you receive
Technical work with reviewable outputs.
Deliverable 01Source-to-target inventory and compatibility register
Deliverable 02Conversion backlog and reconciliation results
Deliverable 03Rehearsed cutover and rollback runbook
Deliverable 04Hypercare findings and accepted operating handover
The written scope identifies environments, owners, deliverables, exclusions, access, service hours, and acceptance. A senior lead reviews your inquiry and recommends the next step within one business day.
Delivery approach
A clear path from review to operating ownership.
- 1
Map
Confirm systems, owners, migration route, and acceptance criteria.
- 2
Prepare
Implement and test conversion, transfer, and reconciliation work.
- 3
Rehearse

Related delivery evidence
A partner relationship sustained over 5+ years.
Datrick's published partner case describes an initial database and migration delivery need that grew into more than five years of recurring DBA/NOC, BI, reporting, and analytics work. It demonstrates a delivery relationship, rather than a platform-specific performance guarantee.

Before you engage
Common questions about database migration services.
Do you handle on-premises to on-premises database migrations?
Yes. Datrick can scope infrastructure refreshes, consolidations, version changes, and database moves between on-premises environments, as well as cloud destinations. Each route has its own compatibility, connectivity, and operating requirements.
Can you support SQL Server to PostgreSQL migration?
Datrick can take defined assessment, T-SQL conversion, data validation, cutover preparation, and post-migration DBA workstreams. Schema, application, procedure, and operational compatibility must be assessed before effort or timing is committed.
Can you guarantee zero downtime?
No universal zero-downtime promise is made. The interruption budget depends on architecture, synchronization, application behavior, write patterns, and recovery requirements. Rehearsals establish what can be achieved and what the business must accept.
Can your DB developers and DBAs work alongside our migration team?
Yes. Datrick can own selected workstreams or provide coordinated delivery under an IT partner's brand. Responsibilities, access, technical review, milestones, and acceptance remain explicit.
