Database Management Services in London
Faster queries, safer migrations and a database schema that keeps up as your business grows, without the guesswork of tackling it in-house.
What does ITSL's Database Management service include?
ITSL designs, migrates, optimises and manages business databases including MySQL, PostgreSQL and Firebase, so your data stays fast, accurate and secure as your business grows.
Most software problems that feel like "the system is slow" are actually database problems, which is why database management is one of the most requested services from our existing software clients.
We handle everything from designing a new database schema for a growing business through to migrating legacy data and tuning an existing database that has started to slow down under real-world usage.

FAQs about Database Management
Can ITSL migrate our database without losing data?
Yes. We run a full backup and validation process before, during and after any migration between platforms such as MySQL, PostgreSQL and Firebase, so data integrity is checked at every stage.
Why is our business database running slowly?
Slow databases are usually caused by missing indexes, poor query design or data that has outgrown the original schema. ITSL audits the database first to identify the exact cause before recommending a fix.
Do you offer ongoing database management, not just one-off fixes?
Yes, ongoing database monitoring and management is available as part of our IT support and managed service plans.
Can ITSL manage a database that another developer originally built?
Yes, we regularly take over databases built by previous developers, auditing the schema and data before making any changes.
How often should a business database be backed up?
Most business databases benefit from daily automated backups at minimum; ITSL agrees the right schedule based on how frequently your data changes.
