IBM Db2 and Db2 SaaS
Real-time data streaming at enterprise scale: built on Kafka, engineered for production.
IBM Db2 has underpinned enterprise transactional workloads for decades. This is the database behind CRM, ERP, and system-of-record applications where performance, availability, and data integrity are non-negotiable. Db2 SaaS brings that same capability to the cloud: fully managed, independently scalable, and deployable within your own cloud environment where data sovereignty cannot be compromised.
Moving off on-premises Db2
Db2 SaaS preserves what matters about your existing estate – application compatibility, SQL workloads, stored procedures – while removing the infrastructure burden. Near-100% compatibility with existing Db2 environments, and Oracle compatibility available, means the transition is significantly less disruptive than moving to an unfamiliar platform.

Performance without the overhead
Fully managed, with monitoring, uptime, and failovers handled automatically. Compute and storage scale independently on demand, and AI-powered query optimisation continuously adapts execution plans without manual tuning.
Built for compliance
Available on IBM Cloud, AWS, and via a Bring Your Own Cloud model on Azure – deploying the database directly within your own cloud environment. Data stays in your infrastructure, controls remain under your governance, encrypted at rest and in motion by default.
Supporting AI and analytics
Machine learning models can be trained and run directly within the Db2 engine, without moving data to a separate environment. Native integration with IBM watsonx.data brings Db2 data into broader AI and analytics pipelines.Db2 in action
For organisations running Db2 on-premises, the question is rarely whether to move, it is how to do it without disrupting the applications that depend on what is already there. Dot Group has delivered Db2 migration and modernisation programmes across financial services, retail, and manufacturing, working through the legacy applications, the teams, and the processes built around the existing estate.
We assess your current environment, identify the right migration path, and sequence the programme to keep critical workloads running throughout.
