Cloud & Database Modernisation
Move to Oracle Cloud, AWS or Azure with a partner who understands the database, not just the cloud.
Why this matters
Most cloud migrations that go wrong go wrong at the database layer — undersized instances, broken replication, licensing surprises, performance that mysteriously halves. We approach cloud from the database outward: assessing your workloads, choosing the right service (Autonomous Database, Base Database, RDS, or IaaS), migrating with minimal downtime, and running it well afterwards. We also modernise on-premises estates that aren't moving yet.
What's included
- Cloud readiness and licensing assessment
- Target architecture and cost model (OCI, AWS, Azure)
- Migration execution: Data Pump, GoldenGate or Data Guard-based cutover
- Hybrid and multi-cloud connectivity
- Post-migration tuning and cost optimisation
- Ongoing managed operations
Outcomes you can expect
- A migration with a tested cutover plan and rollback
- Right-sized cloud spend — no surprise bills
- Databases that perform as well or better than on-premises
- One team accountable for both the cloud and the database
Typically engaged by
- Businesses with an Oracle estate evaluating cloud
- Teams whose first cloud migration attempt underperformed
- Companies consolidating multiple databases onto cloud platforms
- Organisations needing hybrid setups for compliance

How the engagement works
We begin with a two-week assessment producing a target architecture, migration plan and cost model. Migration is delivered as a fixed-scope project; operations continue under a managed-services agreement if you want them to.
Representative engagement
On-premises Oracle estate migrated to Oracle Cloud
Challenge
Ageing hardware, an expiring data-centre contract and an ERP database that had to move with minimal downtime and no licence surprises.
What we did
Assessment and licensing review, target architecture on OCI Base Database, GoldenGate-based replication for a near-zero-downtime cutover, and post-migration tuning.
Outcome
Cutover completed in a weekend window with under thirty minutes of downtime; infrastructure cost reduced versus the renewal quote; operations continued under managed support.
