What Does UpSearch Offer?

How Is UpSearch Different?

UpSearch is an independent advisor. We provide the visibility, context, guidance, validation, and emergency support clients need to manage their SQL Server estates and make informed decisions. When those decisions require migration, consolidation, modernization, deployment, or managed operations, the client or a qualified implementation partner performs the work.

  • Independent advisory and licensing governance.
  • Unlimited emergency SQL Server support for Advisory Services clients.
  • Enterprise-wide SQL Server and licensing visibility.
  • Licensing interpretation and financial implications.
  • Ongoing change and drift detection.
  • Independent pre- and post-change validation.
  • Client retains control of data and change management.
  • Flat, predictable pricing.

What is Our Data Management Approach?

Know what is in your SQL Server estate. Understand the financial and operational implications. Make informed decisions. Validate the outcome. Keep it governed.

Team-Managed and Independent

We take a team-managed and independent approach because effective SQL Server decisions require more than technical findings. We begin by establishing enterprise-wide visibility into your SQL Server estate and understanding the business context, risks, priorities, and objectives surrounding it.

Tailored Insights and Guidance for You

With enterprise-wide visibility established, we provide ongoing insights and guidance based on changes in your SQL Server estate, business priorities, risks, and objectives. We meet regularly with your team to support informed decisions, strengthen institutional knowledge, and validate outcomes over time. The result is consistent, independent guidance that stays aligned with your business priorities and changing SQL Server estate.

All for a Flat Fee

We serve in an advisory capacity, helping organizations navigate licensing, security, risk, and growth while strengthening internal controls and providing clear SQL Server estate guidance.

Our advisory model gives you ongoing expertise, proactive guidance, and emergency SQL Server support without giving up control of your data or change management. For organizations seeking an alternative to a traditional Microsoft support contract, your UpSearch team already knows your SQL Server environment before an emergency occurs.

We charge a flat fee because we do better when our clients do better, not when they buy more database software.
