Case Study: a large GPS-based routing and logistics company achieves faster, more reliable cloud operations with Redgate SQL Toolbelt Essentials

Scaling secure cloud operations with SQL Toolbelt Essentials

A large GPS-based routing and logistics company faced significant challenges while migrating its complex, 50TB SQL Server estate from on-premises infrastructure to AWS. The lift-and-shift migration led to schema drift, error-prone releases, and customer resistance due to concerns about reliability. With over 3,000 databases containing sensitive data for critical services, the company needed to ensure scalability, security, and performance without sacrificing development speed.

By implementing Redgate’s SQL Toolbelt Essentials, including SQL Compare, SQL Data Compare, SQL Prompt, and SQL Source Control, the company standardized its development and deployment processes. Redgate’s tools enabled faster troubleshooting, reduced downtime from days to minutes per year, and improved developer productivity by saving each technical employee 30 minutes per day. This provided a clear return on investment and gave the team the confidence to scale its operations securely in the cloud.
