Accelerate Your Cloud Migration with AI: How CRAWLER360 Powers Fortune 500 Transformations

Cloud migration is now the backbone of enterprise modernization. For Fortune 500 companies, the ability to move legacy data warehouses and lakes to the cloud-efficiently, securely, and at scale-can determine the pace of innovation and competitive advantage. Yet, the path from legacy complexity to cloud-native agility is rarely straightforward. Decades of accumulated data, convoluted ETL pipelines, and hidden interdependencies can stall even the most ambitious transformation initiatives.

Next Pathway’s AI-Enabled CRAWLER360 is redefining what’s possible in cloud migration. By combining deep automation, advanced AI, and holistic visibility, CRAWLER360 empowers organizations to plan, de-risk, and accelerate migrations with unmatched clarity and precision.

The Imperative of Cloud Migration

To stay competitive, enterprises must modernize their data infrastructure. However, legacy environments-often described as “data swamps”-present formidable obstacles. Hidden dependencies, redundant datasets, and unoptimized workloads can stall migration initiatives, causing delays, cost overruns, and business disruption. A structured, automated approach to migration planning is essential for success.

CRAWLER360: Setting a New Standard for Migration Planning

AI-Powered Discovery and Rationalization
CRAWLER360’s proprietary AI models enable rapid, accurate analysis of both on-premises and cloud-based data warehouses and lakes. The platform delivers granular insights into code composition, job categorization, and data lineage, helping organizations determine which workloads are essential, which can be decommissioned, and how to prioritize migration waves.

Holistic Visualization and Wave Planning
CRAWLER360 automatically scans and maps every ETL pipeline across multiple data warehouses, providing a comprehensive view of legacy systems. Enhanced visualization allows users to:

• Sort pipelines by complexity to prioritize migration efforts.
• View control and data flows for a deep understanding of dependencies.
• Dynamically create scenario-based migration wave plans tailored to application needs.
• Trigger automated code translation and test script generation directly from the wave planner, streamlining execution.

Automation and Risk Reduction
By automating end-to-end scanning, analysis, and planning, CRAWLER360 dramatically reduces manual effort, cost, and risk. The platform identifies orphan jobs, redundant datasets, and opportunities for consolidation, ensuring only relevant, high-value workloads are migrated. Outputs can be exported for further analysis or integration with other data tools, supporting enterprise-scale planning and governance.

Broad Ecosystem Support

CRAWLER360 is engineered to support migrations from the full spectrum of legacy data environments to modern cloud targets. The platform handles enterprise data warehouses like Teradata and Netezza, large-scale Hadoop ecosystems (including Hive, Impala, and Spark), and a wide range of ETL tools such as Informatica, Talend, IBM DataStage, and Microsoft SSIS. Seamless integration with all major cloud destinations-including Snowflake, Microsoft Fabric, Azure Synapse, Google BigQuery, AWS, and Databricks-ensures even the most complex, heterogeneous environments can be modernized through a unified, automated approach.

Real-World Impact: Large-Scale Project Successes

Global E-Commerce Company
Migrating a complex legacy environment spanning Teradata, SQL Server, and Hadoop, this enterprise used CRAWLER360 to analyze over 7 million lines of code. The solution surfaced 21% data redundancy and mapped critical application dependencies. In just six weeks, the company received a targeted migration strategy and architecture, accelerating cloud adoption and delivering cost and performance benefits ahead of schedule.

International Retailer
Faced with the migration of a Hadoop data lake, Teradata EDW, and more than 2,000 ETL jobs (over 3 million lines of SQL and stored procedures) to Azure Synapse, this retailer relied on CRAWLER360 for end-to-end planning. The platform identified 27% redundancy across the legacy landscape, enabling a streamlined on-premise footprint and a seamless, efficient transition to a modern cloud analytics environment.

Global Financial Services Provider
To expedite the migration from a legacy Netezza data warehouse to Snowflake, this organization leveraged CRAWLER360 to map end-to-end data lineage. The platform delivered near-perfect code translation accuracy and reduced migration planning time by more than 70%, unlocking the benefits of cloud-native analytics and AI-driven innovation.

Conclusion

With advanced AI-driven automation, CRAWLER360 stands as the definitive platform for Fortune 500 companies looking to modernize their data infrastructure. By automating discovery, analysis, migration planning, code translation, and testing, CRAWLER360 eliminates guesswork and manual bottlenecks-empowering organizations to migrate with confidence, speed, and strategic clarity. As digital transformation accelerates, CRAWLER360 is setting the standard for automated, risk-mitigated cloud migrations.
