This partnership is critical for companies that are seeking a migration path from legacy enterprise data warehouse (EDW) solutions such as Teradata, Netezza and Oracle, in favor of modern cloud data warehouses platforms such as AWS Redshift and Snowflake. Next Pathway’s SHIFT™ TRANSLATOR can not only automatically translate legacy code, but also automatically repoint ETL pipelines (as announced earlier this year). This is a breakthrough innovation that dramatically decreases migration time, cost, and risk. With this partnership, customers wanting to migrate to the cloud will be delivered test-ready translated code and ETL pipelines in days.
Specifically, SHIFT™ TRANSLATOR automatically repoints Informatica pipelines (running on on-prem PowerCenter servers) by translating source/target connectors and embedded SQL logic to any cloud data warehouse native syntax. Further, the ability to automatically translate complex embedded SQL and other code objects also accelerates the upgrade path for customers moving to IICS.
By automating the translation and delivery of QA-ready code, SHIFT™ TRANSLATOR can accelerate end-to-end EDW migration timelines, while greatly reducing cost and risk to the project. Across recent large-scale migration projects, Next Pathway has helped customers realize a 42% cost reduction (in aggregate) by employing SHIFT™ TRANSLATOR when compared to manual migration efforts.
“Informatica is the leader, and industry standard, for cloud data management”, said Chetan Mathur, Chief Executive Officer at Next Pathway. “By partnering with Informatica, we are enabling customers to cut-over to the cloud even faster by automating the Informatica ETL pipeline migration effort, which is often the most complex and time-consuming aspect of an end-to-end EDW migration program.”
“We are excited to partner with Next Pathway and leverage the power of the SHIFT™ Migration Suite to accelerate our customer’s migration path to the cloud,” says Amit Walia, Chief Executive Officer at Informatica. Amit added, “As the industry leader in enterprise cloud data management, we want to simplify our customer’s access to data in the cloud. Together with Next Pathway, by automating the ETL migration path, we are helping companies achieve faster consumption by automating a key piece of the legacy-to-cloud migration process”.
