The Migration Problem No One Talks About - And the Automation Breakthrough Solving It

Every enterprise is racing toward a faster, more scalable, AI-ready, cloud-native data architecture. Yet there’s a challenge most leaders don’t openly acknowledge: 

Migrating large Informatica estates to DBT and Snowflake is far more complex, costly, and unpredictable than expected. 

For organizations attempting an Informatica to DBT migration or Informatica to Snowflake migration, manual rewrites stretch timelines, inflate engineering costs, and introduce functional risk. For enterprises with thousands of mappings, the modernization effort can easily overwhelm teams, disrupt operations, and derail broader cloud data modernization priorities. This is the modernization gap KPI Partners set out to close. 

A Purpose-Built Automation Breakthrough 

KPI Partners’ DataBridge Suite, anchored by the Informatica-to-DBT/Snowflake Migration Utility, delivers an AI-powered migration path that automates up to 80% of mapping conversion, accelerates delivery by 70%, and reduces data processing costs by up to 65%. 

Unlike generic frameworks, this enterprise-grade utility is explicitly engineered to address the technical realities of: 

• ETL-to-ELT migration 

• Automated ETL conversion 

• Informatica mapping conversion to DBT + Snowflake 

• Openflow-enabled execution and orchestration for scalable, production-grade pipeline management 

The result is a predictable, automated, and scalable modernization program designed for global enterprises navigating complex challenges in migrating from legacy to cloud environments. 

Why Enterprises Are Moving to DBT & Snowflake 

Across industries, organizations are adopting DBT + Snowflake to unlock modernization at scale. Key advantages include: 

SQL-Driven Transformation Efficiency 

Modular SQL models improve transparency, version control, and engineering velocity—critical benefits when shifting from GUI-based ETL tools to SQL-driven data transformation. 

Cloud-Native Performance & Elasticity 

Snowflake’s MPP engine provides massive parallel processing and consumption-based cost efficiency, enabling up to 8 times faster processing and strengthening the business case for enterprise data migration automation. 

Open, Flexible Development 

No proprietary lock-in. Transformation logic becomes portable SQL, reducing long-term dependency risk. 

Lower Operational Overhead 

Modern ELT pipelines eliminate the operational complexity of legacy, on-premises ETL systems—making the shift to data pipeline modernization a strategic imperative. 

Yet the journey to this modern architecture is exactly where most organizations get stuck. 

The Migration Challenge Leaders Prefer Not to Discuss 

Enterprise migrations from Informatica to DBT and Snowflake consistently face five significant challenges: 

• High migration costs and extended timelines driven by manual rewrites 

• Complex transformation logic with nested expressions, reusable components, and lookups 

• Functional parity hurdles requiring precise SQL pattern translation 

• Workflow and dependency mapping that does not align natively with DBT 

• Team upskilling from GUI-based workflows to SQL-first engineering 

Without automation for ELT pipelines, migration assessment, execution orchestration, and structured logic translation, these challenges quickly grow. 

Automation is the only way to address these at enterprise scale. 

How KPI Partners Solves the Problem 

The KPI Migration Utility streamlines enterprise modernization through a purpose-built set of automated capabilities: 

• AI-driven mapping interpretation 

• Automated SQL and DBT model generation for Snowflake 

• Transformation logic and lookup conversion 

• Functional parity validation 

• Workflow dependency analysis and sequence optimization 

• Openflow-enabled execution and orchestration to manage pipeline sequencing, dependencies, and scalable execution 

• Complexity scoring and migration assessment reporting 

• Built-in functional validation for transformation accuracy 

This automation removes ambiguity, reduces manual work, and ensures consistent, accurate, scalable outcomes.
