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.

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.

01

Assess 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.

02

Convert 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.

03

Rehearse 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.

04

Stabilize 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 01

Source-to-target inventory and compatibility register

Deliverable 02

Conversion backlog and reconciliation results

Deliverable 03

Rehearsed cutover and rollback runbook

Deliverable 04

Hypercare 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. 1

    Map

    Confirm systems, owners, migration route, and acceptance criteria.

  2. 2

    Prepare

    Implement and test conversion, transfer, and reconciliation work.

  3. 3

    Rehearse

    Measure execution time and resolve rollback and dependency gaps.

  4. 4

    Transition

    Execute the approved window, validate, and complete hypercare.

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.
