"The value-add from Sun Services was in resolving the challenges of migrating from an old system to a new one without losing any data. They took us through different designs, showed us the pros and cons of each one, and helped us come up with a picture of how everything was going to work in advance. As a result of this close collaboration, we comfortably achieved our migration goals of no data loss and minimal service disruption. "
