Project Overview: Modernizing Data Pipelines for the Cloud-Native Era
As Informatica environments age, modernization becomes critical for enterprises aiming to accelerate insights, control costs, and eliminate legacy dependencies.
The client, a U.S.-based global manufacturer, faced high ETL maintenance costs, performance bottlenecks in large-scale batch processing, and limited scalability for real-time analytics. They needed a faster, automated way to migrate complex Informatica workloads to Databricks while ensuring data accuracy, governance, and compliance.
KPI Partners addressed these challenges using a purpose-built, GenAI-powered Informatica-to-Databricks Migration Utility. The solution automated mapping conversion, applied validation frameworks to maintain functional parity, and established a unified Databricks Lakehouse for analytics and AI.
Through this automation-driven approach, KPI Partners helped the client transition from a rigid ETL setup to a cloud-native, governed, and high-performance data environment, achieving speed, accuracy, and scalability for the future.
