Our services
Ispirer provides the full spectrum of database, application, and data services under one roof. Each service closes a specific job: from first analysis of the source system to its evolution after the move to a new technology.
Assessment and migration strategy
Before migration starts, you need a clear picture of what you're moving and in what state. We analyze the source system — object volume and complexity, dependencies, critical points, risks — and return a realistic project plan with effort and timeline estimates.
Learn moreModernization and migration — databases
Migrate and modernize your database infrastructure with minimal risk and maximum automation.
Powered by Ispirer Toolkit — deterministic, rule-based conversion delivering 70–80% automated conversion out of the box, with conversion rules extended and customized to each project's requirements.
Learn moreModernization and migration — applications
Transform aging applications into modern, maintainable, and scalable solutions.
Powered by Ispirer Toolkit — the same deterministic conversion engine applied to application code, enabling structured cross-language migration at scale, with rules extended and customized per project.

Migration tools
The speed and quality of our services rest on the Ispirer toolkit.
Key advantage: we customize our tools to the specific migration direction and codebase. When a project brings non-standard constructs, we build new conversion rules and add them to the tool — so the next project with similar constructs is handled automatically. Expertise accumulates in a way that's hard to reproduce from scratch. These are our own products, refined on every project, not third-party solutions adapted to the task.

Request a consultation with our expert
How long does a migration take?
It depends on system volume and complexity. Projects with a relatively small codebase and standard constructs close in 1–2 months. Large systems run 3 to 10 months or more. For example, migrating 150,000 lines of SQL code from SQL Server to PostgreSQL with a C# application update took one month; converting 275,000 lines of C++ to C# took ten.
Exact timelines are always set after a pre-migration assessment — without analyzing the source, any estimate is approximate.
What happens to data during migration? Is there a risk of loss?
Ispirer Data Migrator moves data with integrity checks in place, comparing source and target so nothing is lost or corrupted. For live systems, Change Data Capture keeps both sides synchronized until cutover, so no writes are dropped between the initial load and go-live.
What level of automation is realistically achievable?
Up to 95% on database migration with SQLWays for typical projects, with the remaining edge cases handled through project-specific rule customization rather than manual rewriting. The exact figure depends on the source, target, and how many non-standard constructs the system contains.
What if our system has non-standard or rare constructs?
We build new conversion rules for them and add them to the toolkit. The construct is then handled automatically — on your project and on the next one with similar constructs. This is how our expertise accumulates.
Do you work only with databases, or applications too?
Both. SQLWays and Ispirer Data Migrator cover the database and data side; CodeWays converts application code — source, embedded SQL, business logic, and database APIs — across languages and platforms.
Does our team need expertise in the target technology?
No. Ispirer handles the conversion and supports your team through validation and cutover, so you don't need in-house expertise in the target platform to migrate successfully.
How do you estimate project cost?
After a pre-migration assessment. Once InsightWays has measured the source system — object volume, complexity, and compatibility — we quote a fixed price before any work begins, so there are no surprises on the invoice.
