Partner Blog | Accelerating Oracle-to-PostgreSQL migrations: New tooling, proven patterns, and partner opportunities inspired by Apollo Hospitals
Businesses across the globe are re-evaluating their data strategies. Although Oracle remains essential for many critical applications, factors like licensing issues, the push for modernization, and the demand for faster innovation are encouraging customers to embrace open-source databases. Among these, PostgreSQL is becoming a popular choice—ideal for cloud environments, enterprise-level performance, and handling large, latency-sensitive workloads.
This transition is creating substantial opportunities for partners. Clients are actively searching for migration experts, effective methodologies, and comprehensive modernization services that lower risks and speed up results. They seek solutions that are well-engineered, managed effectively, and reliable.
To address this, Microsoft has been focusing on enhancing predictability. Over the past year, we’ve invested heavily in developing migration tools and guidance from Oracle to PostgreSQL. This includes AI-supported conversion and validation processes that take care of much of the heavy lifting for our partners.
Simultaneously, customers are raising their expectations for what “modern data” truly means. It’s not just about transitioning to the cloud; it’s about minimizing latency, streamlining governance, and facilitating real-time decision-making on a large scale. For instance, Apollo Hospitals provides a great illustration of this in action and shows why foundational modernization, including the shift to PostgreSQL, is becoming a top priority.
