Database Modernization

Turn your data into a secure, scalable, cloud-ready asset

Modernize the underlying databases beneath your applications for greater security, reliability, scalability, and manageability. Profound Logic's Database Modernization services prepare your business for the cloud—and beyond.

Your data is your most valuable business asset

Modernizing your database positions you to take full advantage of it—addressing programs that still rely on flat files and record-level access. As data volumes grow and your team moves toward data-centric programming, analytics tools expect a normalized SQL database. You know modernization means more than simply converting DDS to DDL—but you're not sure how to start.

What's Included

Database modernization done right

Profound takes the heavy lifting of database modernization off of your team, so you can focus on innovation. Our experts analyze your databases and plot a course to deliver highly scalable, faster-performing, cloud-ready databases.

  • Convert DDS to DDL
  • Normalize your SQL database
  • Add data integrity constraints
  • Improve data security
  • Implement new IBM i Db2 features
  • Support a multi-tiered architecture

This isn't modernization – it's futurization. Your IBM i data becomes more valuable, not obsolete.

Our Approach

A clear path from flat files to a modern SQL foundation

  1. Analyze

    Our experts assess your existing databases—including programs that use flat files and record-level access—to understand your data model and modernization goals.

  2. Plan

    We plot a course beyond a simple DDS-to-DDL conversion, mapping the route to a normalized, integrity-protected, cloud-ready SQL database.

  3. Convert & normalize

    We convert DDS to DDL and normalize your SQL database, then add data integrity constraints and strengthen data security.

  4. Future-proof

    We implement modern IBM i Db2 features and structure your data to support a multi-tiered architecture ready for analytics and the cloud.
