    STRONG FOUNDATIONS

    Building and managing robust data infrastructure

    We help organisations move away from ageing SQL Server environments and modernise their data platforms with secure, scalable Azure solutions. The result is improved performance, lower costs, stronger security, and a platform that can support future growth and innovation.

    Start your SQL Server migration with expert support and a clear plan. We’ll help you understand your current data environment, identify risks and dependencies, and define the right next steps. We assess legacy systems, identify security risks and performance issues, and build a clear picture of where improvements can be made. Working closely with operational and IT teams, we create a modernisation plan that aligns with your business goals, while considering compliance, business continuity, and long-term scalability.

    We also provide ongoing support after migration, alongside documentation and knowledge sharing, helping your teams get the most from their new platform.

    Clients come to us when

    Their infrastructure is unable to scale, resulting in downtime and poor user experience
    They have high infrastructure costs that limit making IT investments in other areas
    They are concerned about security risks and compliance issues

    Delivers scalability, high availability, security, and cost efficiency. This kind of project typically involves assessment, followed by identification workloads that are suitable for Azure, design, implementation plan, migration, validation, and testing.

    Modernise platform and applications

    A Coeo modernisation project

    Up-to-date data infrastructure helps our clients best use modern technologies and approaches. A modernisation project starts with an assessment of the environment and dependencies and areas for improvement. Then design and implementation of a roadmap aligned to business objectives.

    KICKSTART MIGRATION TO THE CLOUD

    SQL Server Migration Assessment

    With SQL Server 2016 leaving Microsoft extended support in July 2026, and cloud capabilities continuing to move quickly, it’s more important than ever to take a structured approach to migrating critical data workloads. Our SQL Server Migration Assessment gives you a tailored roadmap to migrate and modernise with confidence.

    It’s a three-part process combining tooling, commercial analysis, and stakeholder workshops. Our team will thoroughly assess your SQL Server environment, offering an in-depth analysis of your current architecture, categorising and prioritising workloads, and devising a high-level migration strategy tailored to the most suitable Azure SQL technology.

    1. Assesses the current data estate

      Use the latest Azure Migrate tools to explore your SQL environment. We’ll assess the size, scale, and compatibility of each database to ensure it’s ready for migration.

    2. Plan for the Future

      Build a clear roadmap of the SQL environment to Azure IaaS or PaaS SQL technology including application dependencies and right-size profiling for your needs.

    3. Build a Business Case

      Justify your migration project with clear Return On Investment values with detailed commercial analysis, effort estimates and timelines.

    4. Review the Support Available

      Explore applicable funding and commercial options available to support your modernisation, and how we can help you make the most of them.
