EDB and Ispirer: Partnering to Deliver Automated Migrations
Accelerate your migration. Get a certified path for moving databases and application code from legacy systems like SQL Server and DB2 to the powerful, modern EDB Postgres® AI platform.
The challenge
Migrating from proprietary, legacy database systems like SQL Server, Sybase, and DB2 to a modern open source platform is an imperative for cost savings and agility. However, the migration itself presents significant industry-wide challenges:
Vendor lock-in and high costs
Proprietary databases trap your organization with restrictive licensing fees and reliance on specialized, expensive staff.
Database compatibility
Manually mapping and converting disparate data types and proprietary SQL functions is complex, risky, and leads to project delays.
Application modernization complexity
Embedded SQL and business logic are hard-coded into the application layer. Manually rewriting this code causes cost overruns and errors, and can add risk to your migration.
Planning uncertainty
Organizations lack a clear, trusted assessment of complexity and effort, making it impossible to set accurate budgets or timelines.
End-to-end database and application modernization
EDB has partnered with Ispirer to provide a certified toolkit that directly addresses the need to migrate from common legacy databases beyond Oracle. Now you can modernize and standardize your siloed heterogeneous data infrastructure by consolidating diverse legacy databases—and the applications that rely on them—onto a single, powerful PostgreSQL platform: EDB Postgres AI (EDB PG AI).
Solutions and outcomes
Use Ispirer's trusted tools for assessing the compatibility and complexity of migrating your current set of databases to EDB PG AI. The outcome: Predictable projects. Gain the intelligence needed to set accurate budgets and timelines, avoiding costly surprises and validating the feasibility of your entire modernization plan.
Automate migrations from multiple, heterogeneous sources to one powerful Postgres data store. One tool converts schemas and data from legacy systems like SQL Server, Sybase, and DB2 to Postgres and brings it directly into production-ready EDB PG AI. Minimize manual errors and dramatically reduce project timelines, ensuring a complete, fast, and secure modernization.
Together, EDB PG AI and Ispirer accelerate your end-to-end migration, including the application layer. Convert embedded SQL and database API calls within your application code to reduce application migration risk. Ensure applications function correctly in your new sovereign Postgres environment without costly,risky, time-consuming manual rewrites.

Ispirer tools
Our joint solution simplifies modernization by covering both the database structure and the dependent application code layer using three key tools, critical for customers who want to minimize manual rework and reduce the risk associated with updating both the database and the connected application logic:
Ispirer InsightWays
Free assessment tool used to determine feasibility, complexity, and set accurate budgets before the migration starts.
Ispirer SQLWays
Schema and data migration that handles the automated conversion of schemas and data from SQL Server, Sybase, DB2, and others to EDB PG AI.
Ispirer CodeWays
Application code conversion that minimizes manual rework by converting embedded SQL and database API calls in the dependent application code layer.
