Database Upgrade

Whether it is driven by the discontinuing support of older versions or outgrowing existing database design or evolving business needs, Octalsoft can put the right upgrade approach and plan to smoothly upgrade your database to the latest version whileminimizing the upgrade risks.

Octalsoft's Database upgrade approach begins with analyzing the existing database design and understanding the IT and business drivers for the upgrade.  If it is merely upgrading to a newer technology version of the existing database platform, then software version analysis is performed to determine the prerequisites and dependencies for the upgrade.  Our database consultants consisting of expert DBAs assist in performing a technical ugprade to the newer version and facilitate the unit and system testing of the impacted application modules. To ensure successful adoption of the new database release, delta training is performed and detailed cutover plan is prepared and executed including a fall-back option.  After successful upgrade to newer release, database support is made available to address any post migration issues.
