Handling database administration activities becomes easy, and overheads are minimized. Applications hosted over cloud are highly available, completely reliable, flexible, and agile. On-premises applications lack such modern features. Tasks such as data backup, data recovery, data administration, regular updates, and scheduled maintenance become easier. Applications are optimized for efficient deployment over the new database platform. Rehosting of existing applications over Azure can also be done to achieve more scalability, reliability, and reduced expenses. We only deploy efficient and technical professionals to handle the database migration assignments.

Professional assessment is undertaken, and suggestions are provided for removal of undesired applications to bring down the maintenance expenses. Interoperability function among existing applications persists. Complete migration of data is carried over Azure without affecting any of your existing business activity.
