Database upgrades and application compatibility
Navigating the database upgrade pathway
The path to a modern database isn’t always straightforward. One significant countervailing force is application compatibility. Many businesses rely on third-party software (ISVs) that are rigorously tested against specific database versions. This can create a ‘version lock-in’, preventing you from leveraging the latest database advancements and leaving you stuck with outdated technology.
We add value to your database upgrade process through:
- Proactive compatibility assessments that identify potential issues before they impact your business
- Collaborative strategic planning with you and your ISVs for minimal disruption
- Optimisation for the best-available database version that balances performance and application compatibility
- Expert migration and rigorous testing ensuring a smooth transition
- Direct vendor liaison to resolve ISV compatibility concerns and validate application functionality on new database versions
