Enterprise cloud migration has become the defining move for companies determined to accelerate innovation, strengthen resilience, and compete at speed. The real differentiator is not just how quickly enterprises can move, but how effectively they can modernize and re-platform mission-critical workloads for cloud-native performance, ensuring they unlock new value while keeping business running without disruption.
The Strategic Imperative
For industry leaders, cloud migration is the strategic bridge from legacy complexity to future-ready innovation. It is fundamental to future-proofing the business, enabling advanced analytics, simplifying operations, and driving growth at enterprise scale. Yet the challenge is immense: thousands of interdependent jobs, custom scripts, and regulatory constraints. Success starts with a clear strategy, reinforced by engineered precision and automation at scale, enabling enterprises to deliver results by accelerating cutover and time-to-value on platforms like Snowflake.
A Proven Framework for Enterprise Migration
Next Pathway empowers global enterprises to accelerate cloud modernization using a structured, automation-first framework rooted in industry best practices.
Intelligent Discovery and Planning
Every engagement starts with mapping workflows, code dependencies, and system integrations in the legacy environment. Next Pathway’s CRAWLER360 leverages advanced AI to automatically scan and inventory data warehouses, data lakes, and ETL pipelines, both on-premises and in the cloud. CRAWLER360 delivers asset analysis, detailed data lineage, job lineage maps, asset rationalization, and job categorization, giving clients deep visibility into code, dependencies, and modernization opportunities. With these automated insights, enterprises can build scenario-based migration plans, profile ETL platforms, and optimize migration waves, accelerating planning and minimizing migration risk from day one.
Automated Code Translation
Next Pathway’s SHIFT Cloud applies AI-powered automation to translate large volumes of legacy code such as SQL, ETL pipelines, and job scripts into optimized, cloud-native code for platforms like Snowflake. SHIFT Cloud automates end-to-end code translation for complex data warehouse workloads, ensuring production-ready deliverables while eliminating manual intervention. Enterprises can upload their entire legacy code base, analyze it, and trigger automated translation with SHIFT Cloud to migrate to the cloud faster and more reliably, dramatically reducing project timelines.
Rigorous Validation and Seamless Cutover
Next Pathway’s TESTER delivers comprehensive, automated testing and validation for all migrated workloads. TESTER verifies functionality, data integrity, and system performance at scale, ensuring business operations and analytics remain uninterrupted. TESTER accelerates cutover and shortens time-to-value, providing a seamless transition to Snowflake and other modern cloud platforms.
Business Results at Scale
Global enterprises consistently achieve measurable impact through Next Pathway’s automation-driven framework:
- Aviva (UK insurance leader): Migrated 1.3 petabytes and 800 billion records to Snowflake with zero disruption, while achieving a 23 percent workload rationalization that delivered direct cost savings and efficiency gains.
- Global automotive manufacturer: Moved all service operations data from Netezza and PowerCenter to Snowflake in just four months. Automation enabled zero downtime and immediate analytics availability.
- Global media enterprise: Migrated more than 1,000 tables and 200,000 lines of code in four weeks. Automated testing reduced test cycles by 71 percent and accelerated time-to-analytics.
These outcomes prove that automation and disciplined execution transform cloud migration from a disruptive challenge into a repeatable source of enterprise value.
