Modernizing legacy applications for the cloud is no longer just an IT initiative; it has become a critical mandate for organizational resilience, agility, and competitive differentiation.
Automation is the only way to accelerate cloud migrations, allowing enterprises to save time and money.
Next Pathway partners with Fortune 500 organizations to eliminate the complexity from large-scale migrations, delivering predictable, reliable and cost-effective outcomes.
Next Pathway has built 3 products as part of the SHIFT Cloud Migration Suite; the products work in tandem to automate each stage of the migration journey.
Step 1: AI-Powered Discovery and Planning Tool
CRAWLER360 provides AI-driven discovery and planning for cloud migrations. It automatically scans and catalogs every legacy data source including ETL pipelines, scheduler jobs, and downstream applications to reveal actionable insights within the data flow. CRAWLER360 generates lineage maps, network graphs, and scenario-based migration wave plans while mapping technical and business dependencies at scale. Leaders can visualize complexity, identify redundant or orphan workloads, and rationalize migration strategies. As a result, every decision is built on comprehensive analysis, not guesswork.
Step 2: Advanced Automation Tool for Code Translation
SHIFT® Cloud serves as an advanced automation tool for translating legacy application code, SQL, and ETL processes into modern, cloud-native equivalents. By leveraging generative AI, SHIFT® Cloud automates complex code conversion for Snowflake, Databricks, Azure, and Google Cloud. This process preserves business logic and optimizes every workload for the capabilities of the cloud. SHIFT® Cloud reduces manual bottlenecks, accelerates migration timelines, and helps organizations achieve operational readiness with full confidence and speed.
Step 3: Automated Migration Validation and Assurance Tool
TESTER is an automated migration validation and assurance tool that rigorously checks every migrated workload. It auto-generates and executes test cases, scanning code to ensure full coverage and accurate validation for all translated assets. TESTER verifies data quality, functional parity, and compliance requirements, and integrates with DevOps for real-time monitoring and reporting. With TESTER, leadership teams confidently validate cloud migrations, manage risk, and uphold trust at every stage.
Enterprise Automation Drives Strategic Advantage
By integrating the capabilities of CRAWLER360, SHIFT® Cloud, and TESTER, Next Pathway enables leaders to orchestrate large-scale modernization from planning through final validation. This brings end-to-end transparency, data-driven decision support, and efficient collaboration across migration initiatives. For the enterprise, automation turns legacy migration from a source of risk into a catalyst for business growth and innovation.
Enterprises that automate their modernization journeys are not simply adapting. They are setting the standard for resilience, agility, and innovation. In the digital economy, automation is not optional. It is the only way forward. Next Pathway’s intelligent automation tools make transformation possible at scale, turning legacy complexity into lasting competitive advantage.
