Reclaim the valuable time and resources you’re losing with traditional on-premises SQL Server implementations by migrating to Azure SQL Database. This white paper will guide you through the thought process and steps required to migrate your database workloads from on-premises to Azure services—helping you focus on rapid app development and accelerate your time to market.

Learn about the five stages of the SQL migration roadmap:

  • Understand your database footprint and potential approaches to migration.
  • Assess the discovered workload requirements and any dependencies.
  • Plan and describe the workloads to be migrated, the tools to be used for migration, and the target platform for the workload.
  • Transform any workloads not currently compatible with modern data platforms. Optimise workloads to take advantage of new features.
  • Perform migration, validate successful migration, and remediate applications where required.
