SQL Server Upgrade Services
Upgrade to the latest version of SQL Server and get the best value from your investment in the platform
While you are using the current SQL Server platform, Microsoft is constantly adding new features and capabilities, while some older versions of the platform are moving out of support.
We can help you upgrade your current platform to the latest version of SQL Server, while helping you make the most out of the new features and capabilities.
We were under the impression that SQL Server was only a Database solution until we met with Sharper Software. They helped us upgrade our platform to the latest version, while consolidating servers and reaping the benefits of Analysis, Integration and Reporting Services. That's big value for money.
Data Management Challenges
Today's challenges cannot be fixed with yesterday's solutions. In order to maintain a healthy data platform, IT faces a lot of challenges:
- Data platform needs to be reliable, secure and have high availability and high performance natively.
- Operational costs of maintaining a data platform are getting increasingly higher. Just taking into account the human power necessary for administration increases the cost by a significant ratio.
- Data is meaningless without the ability to convert it into meaningful information. Today's data platforms are too technical for business users to make sense of.
- With the Worldwide data boom, storage challenges are increasing in complexity. It is important to have a hybrid storage between on-premise and cloud.
- IT budgets are decreasing while expecting more from IT. This makes things even more challenging for IT.
