Oracle and SQL Server licensing costs are among the highest in enterprise IT. SPANO Migrate lets you move to open-source PostgreSQL — eliminating expensive vendor licensing — while preserving the critical features your business depends on, including Always Encryption, row-level security, advanced stored procedures and more.
Customers typically save 50–70% on database licensing costs after migrating with SPANO.
At SPANO, we are experts in Blue-Green deployment methodology for database migrations — the gold standard for achieving near-zero downtime. By running two identical environments in parallel and switching traffic seamlessly, your business stays online throughout the entire migration — with an instant rollback safety net if anything unexpected occurs.
Our team of seasoned Database Migration Architects brings decades of hands-on experience migrating the most complex enterprise databases — delivering both cost savings and performance gains for every client.
Our architects have worked across Fortune 500 companies, banking institutions, healthcare providers and fast-growing startups — tackling the most challenging database migrations at scale. They don't just move data. They redesign how businesses run on data.
Every SPANO engagement is led by a senior architect with 10+ years of hands-on DB migration experience — not handed off to junior developers. You get the best, every time.
Specialist in enterprise Oracle to PostgreSQL migrations. Has led large-scale migrations for banking and financial institutions — delivering zero data loss and near-zero downtime across multi-terabyte databases. Deep expertise in schema conversion, stored procedure rewriting and performance tuning.
Pioneer in migrating SQL Server workloads to PostgreSQL while preserving enterprise features like Always Encryption, row-level security and advanced replication. Has helped multiple clients eliminate Oracle and SQL Server licensing costs — saving millions annually.
Expert in cloud-native database architecture on AWS — RDS PostgreSQL, Aurora PostgreSQL and multi-region deployments. Specializes in designing high-availability, cost-optimized cloud DB environments post-migration. AWS Certified with hands-on experience across retail and e-commerce verticals.
Focused on post-migration performance optimization — query tuning, index strategy, connection pooling and workload analysis. Has consistently delivered 2–5x query performance improvements after migration, turning migration projects into true database transformations.
Expert in Change Data Capture (CDC) and continuous replication strategies that enable near-zero downtime migrations. Skilled in tools like AWS DMS, Debezium, pglogical and custom replication pipelines — ensuring live systems stay online throughout the migration window.
Specializes in database security hardening post-migration — encryption at rest and in transit, role-based access control, audit logging and compliance with GDPR, HIPAA and SOC2. Ensures migrated databases meet the strictest enterprise security standards from day one.
Both tools migrate databases — but not equally. Here's how SPANO Migrate outperforms AWS DMS where it matters most for enterprise SQL Server to PostgreSQL migrations.
| Feature / Capability | ⚡ SPANO Migrate | AWS DMS |
|---|---|---|
|
Always Encrypted (AE) Tables
🔐 Key Differentiator
|
✔Fully Supported SPANO Wins Migrates SQL Server Always Encrypted tables to PostgreSQL seamlessly — preserving column-level encryption, deterministic and randomized encryption types, and all key management configurations. |
✘Not Supported AWS DMS explicitly does not support column-level encryption (Always Encrypted) when using SQL Server as a source. Customers with AE tables cannot migrate using DMS without first removing encryption. |
|
CDC Source Node
⚡ Performance
|
✔Reads from Secondary / Reader Nodes SPANO Wins Our CDC engine reads transaction logs from secondary/reader replicas — offloading replication traffic completely from the primary production node, ensuring zero additional load on your live database. |
✘Primary Node Only AWS DMS requires CDC to run on the primary SQL Server instance. This adds replication overhead directly to your production database — increasing load during an already critical migration window. |
|
Blue-Green Deployment
🔵🟢 Zero Downtime
|
✔Native Blue-Green Support SPANO Wins Built-in Blue-Green deployment methodology with live replication, pre-cutover validation, instant traffic switch and one-click rollback to the source environment. |
◐Partial — Manual Setup Required DMS supports CDC replication but Blue-Green orchestration requires significant additional manual setup, custom scripting and separate tooling — not provided out of the box. |
|
Temporal Tables
📋 Schema Support
|
✔Fully Supported SPANO Wins Migrates SQL Server temporal (system-versioned) tables to PostgreSQL with equivalent history tracking — no data loss, no manual workarounds. |
✘Not Supported AWS DMS does not support temporal tables as a source. Customers must manually handle temporal table migration outside DMS — adding significant complexity. |
|
Schema & Code Conversion
🔄 Automation
|
✔Integrated & Intelligent SPANO Wins Automated T-SQL to PL/pgSQL conversion — stored procedures, triggers, functions and views — built into the same tool. No separate SCT tool needed. |
◐Requires AWS SCT Separately DMS handles data migration only. Schema and code conversion requires a separate tool — AWS Schema Conversion Tool (SCT) — adding complexity and additional steps to the migration process. |
|
Licensing Cost Savings
💰 ROI
|
✔50–70% Cost Reduction SPANO Wins Purpose-built to migrate from expensive Oracle & SQL Server licenses to open-source PostgreSQL — with feature parity preserved so you never trade cost savings for capabilities. |
◐Migration Only — No Feature Parity Guarantee DMS moves data but doesn't guarantee enterprise feature parity post-migration. Features like Always Encryption must be re-architected — potentially negating cost savings with rework. |
|
Rollback Safety
🛡️ Risk Management
|
✔Instant One-Click Rollback SPANO Wins Source environment stays live and in sync during the entire migration. If issues arise post-cutover, traffic switches back to source instantly — zero data loss guaranteed. |
◐Manual Rollback Planning Required DMS doesn't provide built-in rollback orchestration. Rollback strategies must be planned, scripted and tested separately — increasing risk during the cutover window. |
|
Object & Data Validation
✅ Accuracy Guarantee
|
✔Comprehensive Built-in Validation SPANO Wins SPANO Migrate performs deep Object Validation — verifying every migrated database object (tables, indexes, constraints, views, stored procedures, triggers, sequences and functions) exists correctly on the target with matching structure. Data Validation runs automatically post-migration — row count verification per table, checksum matching on column values, NULL integrity checks, primary key and foreign key constraint validation, and business rule assertions — giving you a signed-off migration report before go-live. |
✘No Built-in Object or Data Validation AWS DMS does not perform object-level validation. It does not verify whether migrated schema objects (indexes, constraints, triggers, procedures) are correctly created on the target. While DMS offers a basic row count check via its "data validation" feature, it does not perform checksum-level data validation, constraint verification or object structure comparison — leaving customers to manually validate migration accuracy, which is time-consuming and error-prone. |
✔Dedicated Migration Architect SPANO Wins Every project is led by a senior DB Migration Architect with 10+ years experience — hands-on, dedicated to your migration from assessment to post-migration optimization. |
◐Self-Service Tool AWS DMS is a self-service managed tool. Support is through AWS support plans — no dedicated migration architect, no hands-on guidance through complex migration scenarios. |
A structured, transparent process that keeps you informed and in control at every stage.
