If you are replacing an old system and need to import your existing database, we provide migration services. Belitsoft ensures smooth data transition to new databases, on-premises or cloud. Advanced database migration tools help us achieve your business goals.
Transferring a database from one cloud service to another. For instance, migrating from Amazon RDS to Azure SQL Database.
Moving a database from a company's own servers to a cloud-based service. Examples include migrating from a local SQL Server to Amazon RDS or Azure SQL Database.
Migrating databases from one type of database system to another, such as from MySQL to PostgreSQL. This can occur in the cloud and on-premise contexts.
Belitsoft is one of the highest-rated data migration IT companies. Our database migration services focus on both moving your data and redesigning or upgrading your database architecture so your data delivers more value for your business. Choose Belitsoft for your database migration needs and experience a seamless transition with no downtime.
Integration with Modern Technologies. Partnering with Belitsoft for your database migration gives you access to platforms that performs computations unavailable in legacy systems. Your new software will handle unstructured data, support geospatial data for location-based queries ("Find all customers within 5 km of this store") and graph data to analyze business relationships. Belitsoft can set up your database to check for fraud in real time, enabling transactions to be verified in milliseconds. We can also prepare your database to run AI models. This may include vector search and semantic similarity search, so you get advanced retrieval capabilities similar to modern AI systems but on your data. After training ML models (with BigQuery ML, PostgresML, or SQL Server Machine Learning Services), you will be able to run predictions.
Enhanced Security. Cloud databases automatically encrypt data both when stored on their servers and during transmission. Cloud database providers (including Amazon and Microsoft) automatically patch vulnerabilities, so you do not have to worry about missed software updates.
Using Role-Based Access Control, Belitsoft will help you set up highly specific access rules ("Marketing staff can view customer names but not credit card information") and configure trigger alerts when someone attempts to access protected data outside of specified rules, with detailed logs ("User John accessed the Salaries table at 3:42 PM on Tuesday from 'Country name') and block the data or ban the user account with cloud security features.
Potential Cost Savings. Renting capacity in the cloud can be more affordable than buying capacity on-premises: you avoid paying for idle machinery, electricity, cooling, and human labor. Amazon or Google pays the electric bill, installs air conditioning, replaces broken hard drives, and upgrades hardware as it ages. These costs are bundled into your subscription, but cloud providers operate at massive scale, so it is often cheaper than managing these expenses yourself. Belitsoft helps you move to the cloud and optimize your usage, making cloud operations less expensive for you than owning hardware to achieve the same business results.
AUTO-SCALING DATABASE. Belitsoft helps businesses with unpredictable or seasonal usage patterns deploy scalable databases. A scalable database can increase its capacity (storage, processing power, or speed) to support higher workloads and reduce its capacity when demand drops. For example, a ticketing website database may receive thousands of requests per second when sales open for a major concert, or an agricultural marketplace may face data surges during the autumn harvest. Belitsoft ensures that your database scales to prevent system crashes during peak periods and protects your revenue.
We offer a range of database migrations to suit your business needs. Whether full or partial, we'll take care of your data transfer. This includes both database migration consulting services and platform transitions like Power BI Premium migration to Microsoft Fabric to modernize BI infrastructure with minimal disruptions. Our team of experts ensures your data remains secure and accessible.
| SOURCE DATABASE ANALYSIS: | We analyze your current database state (source database, its size, 'large' tables, and data types) and business requirements to select tools and a migration strategy aligned with your future goals |
| TOOL SELECTION: |
We choose the right migration tool for your specific needs and setup, including language-specific frameworks (Entity Framework, etc.), database-native tools (SQL Server Migration Assistant, etc.), or independent migration platforms like AWS DMS, etc. |
| DATA ASSESSMENT: | We profile your data to identify quality issues (inconsistencies, duplicates, orphaned records, and integrity violations). Then we establish data quality rules and cleansing procedures to ensure clean migration and reduce the risk of delays, budget overruns, and failures. |
| MIGRATION STRATEGY DESIGN: | Our migration plan covers the transfer approach, data transformation rules, and rollback strategy. Belitsoft's Our data migration plan details transfer approach, transformation logic, and rollback strategy. Belitsoft's database developers adjust your database structure as your project evolves through planned schema migrations and version control. |
| SCHEMA MIGRATION: | We move all elements of the database structure to the new system in the correct dependency order: tables, indexes, constraints, views, stored procedures, triggers, and permissions. Your new database system will support everything your old one did and get advanced capabilities through database modernization. |
| DATA MIGRATION: | We extract data from your source database, transform it to match the new schema and business rules, then load it into the target system. Belitsoft ensures complete data transfer with no duplicates created. |
| TEST MIGRATION: | We run an initial migration with sample data to validate our process and catch issues before the full migration. |
| VALIDATION and LIVE TEST: | Our validation ensures proper function and performance. This phase is iterative: we load some data, do some functional and performance evaluation, and repeat the process. Once confident in validations, we're ready for production. We test data migration with live data for real-world scenarios. |
| PRODUCTION CUTOVER and POST-MIGRATION VALIDATION: | We verify data completeness, application functionality, and system performance in the production environment to confirm migration success. |
| OLD DATABASE RETIREMENT POLICY: | After a successful migration, we develop a retirement policy for the old database, if required. |

Each migration project is unique and at Belitsoft, we select tools based on your requirements. We aim to migrate your database seamlessly and efficiently, minimizing downtime and maximizing productivity with top tools.
We perform AWS migrations with minimal downtime both homogeneous (within the same platform) and heterogeneous (to another platform). Replicating data across multiple Availability Zones (AZs) ensures uninterrupted application operation during migration. For large migrations like terabyte-sized databases, AWS DMS ensures no data loss and low expenses. You pay only for compute resources and log storage used.
We utilize Azure cloud migration for clients looking to migrate to Azure. Prior to migration, we identify requirements and then estimate the cost of running your workload in Azure. We migrate your databases to Azure, ensuring a comprehensive and scalable process that includes data, schema, and objects from multiple sources. Your database and server objects, along with user accounts and agent jobs, migrate completely.
Belitsoft is a data migration vendor offering low‑risk incremental migration. We use a gradual approach in data migration. By taking manageable steps, we reduce the risk and make the migration process easier to handle and troubleshoot.
We structure applications to separate different functionalities, minimizing the risk associated with changes during migration.
We group related parts of your code together, as they are likely to change together during database migrations. This principle keeps your code organized and manageable.
We use feature flags to decouple the release of new features from their deployment, which is crucial due to potential risks like downtime and data loss during database migration.
We strategically employ feature flags to ensure a controlled and gradual data migration. A simple toggle or complex multivariate flag can do this.
We check your design before data migration to avoid a complete redesign. We separate functionalities to minimize change and group related code together.
Time equals money in business. That's why we aim for near-zero downtime during database migrations. Our team guarantees uninterrupted business operations during migration.
We have a kill switch to instantly revert to the old database in case of any migration issues, ensuring data and operations remain secure.
We gradually increase traffic to the target database while conducting scalability testing to prevent overload. Simultaneously, strategic traffic direction, like beta-testing with a subset of users, targeting based on geography, device, or identity and stakeholder validation, ensures a smooth transition with minimized risks and thorough testing and validation at every stage.
We maintain a detailed history of changes to keep your target database and code compatible. This system helps us efficiently resolve conflicts, like changes to the same part of the database. We store this history with your code for easy management.
Database migration is the process of migrating data from one or more source databases to one or more target databases by using a database migration service. When a migration is finished, the dataset in the source databases resides fully, though possibly restructured, in the target databases. Clients that accessed the source databases are then switched over to the target databases, and the source databases are turned down.
Seek assistance from qualified specialists for best migration results. Collaborating with experts helps prevent issues such as data loss or corruption.
Migration tools are software applications that help manage database migrations. Database migration tool choice depends on project needs, database systems, and preferred migration strategy (state-based or change-based). Once the migration starts, we recommend using a single tool to avoid complications.
Homogeneous vs Heterogeneous
Active-Passive vs Active-Active
For your business needs, we offer active-passive or active-active migration.
State-based vs Change-based
These are two main types of database schema transformation strategies.
