The Database Practice Head's Course on Moving the Practice From On-Premise Relational to Cloud and Polyglot Without Losing the Talent
The 12-module course for database practice leaders at services firms migrating teams from on-premise relational specialties into cloud and polyglot capabilities.
Includes a hand-built implementation playbook generated for your specific situation. Both the course and the playbook are tailored, not template-substituted.
Why this course
Database practice heads at services firms have to migrate the team from on-premise relational specialties (the hyperscaler, SQL Server, DB2) into cloud and polyglot capabilities (managed services, document stores, columnar engines) without losing the senior specialists in the process. Most lose them. The few who do not have a deliberate plan.
Plus a hand-built implementation playbook for your specific situation
Every buyer of the course also receives a custom implementation playbook generated specifically for them. Not template-substituted. Hand-built around your sector, your in-scope frameworks, and your team shape, using the same source-grounded corpus the course is built on.
Course and playbook delivered within 48 hours of purchase. You confirm a few details about your situation at checkout. We send the bundle straight to your inbox.

FAQ
How is this different from a generic playbook?
Playbooks are framework-specific deliverables. This course is the underlying skill that applies across your specific situation, plus the implementation playbook tailored to that situation. Buy a playbook if you need one framework delivered. Buy the course if you want the skill and a playbook designed for you.
