Data Warehouse
Migration to Cloud
Flexible infrastructure that grows with your company and lets you pay only for the resources you actually use.
Let’s talkWe drive the success of leaders:
Switch from on-premise
to a scalable solution
With on-premise solutions, you pay for maximum load, which you typically don’t use. Cloud optimizes costs, adjusting performance to demand.
A solution that grows with your business
A cloud Data Warehouse lets you select components tailored to your current business needs, ensuring you can manage increasing data volumes effectively. As your company grows, you can scale easily while maintaining efficient data processing and controlling costs.
Charge only for usage
A cloud Data Warehouse has almost zero initial cost. As your company grows, the fees scale with actual usage, so you only pay for increased performance when you need it.
Quick setup
Cloud solutions are built quickly using ready-made components, just like LEGO. Tailored data migration services and data transfer solutions ensure a smooth transition with minimal downtime, enhancing efficiency and reducing costs.
Easy scalability
Do you have more data and need greater performance right away? The cloud easily adapts to increased data or performance needs without downtime, a challenge with on-premise systems.
Better protection against data loss
Cloud-based Data Warehouse offer superior backup and recovery solutions across multiple servers, minimizing downtime and ensuring your datasets remain accessible after unexpected failures.
A future-ready solution
Cloud Data Warehouse software integrates seamlessly with technologies like AI, machine learning, and Big Data analytics, enabling real-time insights without costly updates or hardware upgrades.

Data Warehouse ready for the future
6 signs that you should consider moving to the cloud
Silos and lack of data democratization
Separate reporting in transactional systems means limiting access to IT departments, and reducing usability for other users.
Slow reporting
Due to low performance in data processing in traditional Data Warehousing methods, you have to wait for key reports for hours.
High infrastructure costs
On-premise Data Warehouses require significant upfront investments in hardware, ongoing maintenance, and electricity, driving up costs.
Limited disk space
Growing datasets overwhelm server storage, making expansion difficult and expensive.
Lack of scalability
Increasing data and new sources slow down on-premise systems, reducing overall performance.
Low performance under load
Transactional and cyclical queries run slower when processing multiple reports and analytics simultaneously.
Clouds at your fingertips
When choosing cloud solutions tailored to your goals and processes, we focus solely on objective criteria such as scalability, performance, cost, and task alignment. We use the most efficient technologies from the three largest providers to ensure maximum productivity and flexibility both now and in the future.
