SQL Modernization to Microsoft Azure / Fabric powered by WCT

WaferWire Cloud Technologies (WCT) delivers a structured, accelerator-driven SQL-to-Fabric modernization framework that takes enterprises from legacy on-premises SQL Server to a unified Microsoft Fabric data platform in 4–8 weeks. Built for Customers seeking scalability, cost reduction, and AI readiness.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲

Most enterprises still run large, on-premises SQL Server environments stable and familiar, but increasingly expensive to scale, difficult to maintain, and ill-suited for real-time analytics or AI-driven workloads. As data volumes grow and business demands accelerate, the cost of staying on legacy infrastructure compounds every quarter.

WCT helps enterprises move beyond simple cloud migration into a strategic initiative, building an AI-ready data foundation on Microsoft Fabric.

We support three proven modernization paths based on your organization's readiness and goals:

• Lift & Shift to Azure VMs: The fastest entry point; minimal code changes, immediate Azure footprint, and a foundation for future modernization

• Managed PaaS (Azure SQL MI / Azure SQL Database): Eliminate hardware overhead and DBA burden while improving performance and reliability

• Microsoft Fabric (Lakehouse & Warehouse): The strategic destination; a unified platform for data, analytics, and AI with the highest long-term ROI
