Legacy SQL Server Tuning & Upgrade Australia

Overview

SQL Server underpins the large majority of legacy Microsoft business applications, and it often outlives every application built on top of it. An unsupported version, undocumented stored procedures and inherited backup configuration are the norm, not the exception.

What we handle

Performance tuning, indexing and query optimisation on legacy schemas
Safe, tested upgrades to currently supported SQL Server versions
Documenting and untangling stored-procedure business logic
Building a modern data-access API over the existing database
Disaster recovery and backup strategy review

What this usually looks like

Signs your SQL Server system needs a specialist, not a generalist.

Running on an out-of-support SQL Server version
Stored procedures carrying business logic nobody wants to touch
Performance degrading with data growth and no maintained indexing
Backup and disaster recovery configuration that was inherited, not designed
Schema changes feel dangerous because nothing is documented

The bridge

Old and new, working together

Put a modern data-access API in front of a legacy SQL Server database, so new applications never need direct, undocumented access to the raw schema.
