Proven Db2 to SQL Server migration, fixed scope
You need to migrate IBM Db2 to Microsoft SQL Server. It is a well-understood project: we assess with SSMA and proprietary refactoring, then execute a fixed-scope move with senior engineers. No forced big-bang cutover.
The lowest-cost way off IBM Db2: our migration tooling automates the repetitive work —you pay senior engineers for judgment, not keystrokes.
How we support IBM Db2 → Microsoft SQL Server after migration
- ✓Fixed-scope project with senior platform engineers
- ✓Utilizes SSMA plus proprietary refactoring practices
- ✓40-70% savings on legacy support while you migrate
- ✓24/7 US-based support throughout and after migration
- ✓Post-move SQL Server DBA and performance tuning
Db2 skills shortage blocking your stack
Your IT team has strong .NET and SQL Server skills, but Db2 expertise is scarce. Retaining a legacy Db2 DBA is expensive—and losing them blocks your modernization roadmap. We bring both IBM legacy and Microsoft certified engineers so you don't need to hire specialists.
SQL PL and compatibility uncertainty
Questions about isolation level compatibility (Cursor Stability vs SQL Server) and native SQL PL object translation stall migration projects. Our assessment catches every difference before the project starts, so your team isn't debugging translated code for months.
Third-party integration lock-in
Third-party applications relying on IBM Db2 drivers complicate a move to SQL Server. Without the right testing and refactoring, you risk broken integrations at cutover. Our engineers map every driver dependency during the readiness assessment.
IBM Db2 → Microsoft SQL Server migration — your questions answered
How do I migrate IBM Db2 to Microsoft SQL Server?+
Yes — this is a well-understood project. We start with an SSMA readiness assessment to map schemas and identify SQL PL and package objects. Then our senior engineers execute a fixed-scope migration, using refactoring practices to handle differences like isolation levels. Your legacy Db2 stays under vendor support as long as your contract is active.
What about Db2 isolation levels and SQL PL differences?+
The biggest differences are isolation levels (e.g., Cursor Stability vs SQL Server behavior), native SQL PL dialects, and package dependencies. Third-party integrations that rely on IBM drivers also need reconnection. Our team has both IBM legacy expertise and Microsoft certifications — we identify every translation point during the assessment.
How long and how much does a Db2 to SQL Server migration cost?+
Typical projects run 6-10 months with 2-5 senior consultants. Budgets range from $110,000 to $600,000 depending on database complexity and integration depth. We provide a fixed-scope quote after the initial assessment — no surprises.
Why are organizations moving to Microsoft SQL Server from IBM Db2?+
Many mid-market financial institutions, healthcare providers, and public sector agencies switch when modernizing Windows servers, leveraging SQL Server enterprise agreements, or consolidating onto Azure SQL. A Db2 skills shortage inside the IT organization is also a common catalyst.
