Los Angeles based credit union: For this financial institution, we conducted an upgrade of their primary internal database from 32-bit SQL Server 2005 to 64-bit SQL Server 2016. This also required an upgrade of the underlying operating system from Windows Server 2008 Standard to Windows Server 2016, as well as upgrades to the IIS servers and applications that access the SQL Server. InclusiveTech performed discovery and analysis on the current environment as the original DBA was no longer on staff; designed the upgraded architecture and implemented the upgrade.

Los Angeles based property and casualty insurance company: For this insurance services provider, InclusiveTech upgraded their data warehouse from SQL Server 2008 R2 to SQL Server 2016. This data warehouse aggregates data from more than a dozen sources and provides real-time business intelligence. InclusiveTech performed discovery on the current environment as the architects and implementers were no longer on staff; designed the upgraded architecture (several improvements were made), and defined and implemented the cutover plan.

Huntington Beach-based credit union: For this financial institution, InclusiveTech performed a number of projects. We assisted with an upgrade of the Exchange environment for this credit union. The environment included two Exchange servers configured as a Database Availability Group (DAG), with F5 edge transport servers that were eliminated as part of the process. InclusiveTech defined the upgrade strategy and conducted the upgrade in conjunction with Client staff. We also assisted with an upgrade of the AD for this credit union. An additional domain controller was added to the environment and issues with various servers and other network components were addressed and corrected. InclusiveTech defined the upgrade strategy and conducted the upgrade in conjunction with Client staff. We also led an upgrade of the SharePoint environment from 32-bit standalone 2007 to 64-bit farm-mode 2010. Because of the difference in versions, an in-place upgrade was not possible. This credit union has more than 87.000 members and the SharePoint site is used by both internal as well as external users. InclusiveTech defined the upgrade strategy and conducted the upgrade in conjunction with Client staff.
