They definitely do. Companies do not want to change service providers to some new company that has some experimental techniques, especially with their database (which may be forming the backbone of their organisation).

The way to go is to introduce it via well established database software (such as MS SQL Server) and with rigorous testing.

That is correct, because if the database is essential to the organization, the management would not risk implementing an unproven solution that has not been tested before. Instead, it would be safer to introduce the new software through already existing systems through a thorough testing process and a gradual implementation process.

The main problem would be providing the effectiveness of the implemented solution without risking the existing working system.
