From Oracle to the Databricks Lakehouse

Retire legacy Oracle EDW, Exadata and ADW — with their Informatica and PL/SQL estates — and re-platform onto a governed Databricks Lakehouse. Accelerator-led, GenAI-powered, validation-first.

The Case for Change

Why move off Oracle now

Legacy Oracle warehouses were built for a different era. Cost, scalability and AI-readiness are now the constraints — not the capabilities.

Runaway cost

High Oracle / OCI licensing, compute and Informatica maintenance — costly to run and hard to justify as data volumes grow.

Scalability limits

Non-scalable, tightly-coupled architectures throttle enterprise reporting and can't absorb new data or workloads.

Maintenance burden

Business logic buried in PL/SQL, views and thousands of ETL mappings — brittle, SME-dependent and slow to change.

AI-readiness gap

Siloed, ungoverned data can't feed modern BI, GenAI or ML — the platform blocks the AI roadmap instead of enabling it.

Proof in Numbers

The measurable advantage

Outcomes from real Oracle → Databricks programs — automation that shows up on the balance sheet and the timeline.

How We Deliver

End-to-end migration methodology

A proven, accelerator-led path from legacy Oracle to a governed Lakehouse — de-risked at every stage.

1

Assessment

Profile the Oracle source & dependencies with the KPI Assessment Module.

2

Scoping

Scope what to migrate and how it fits the Databricks platform.

3

Data Migration

Objects, data & security — historical + incremental sync.

4

Code / Workload

ETL/ELT → notebooks; jobs → Databricks Workflows.

5

Validation

Source-to-target reconciliation via the KPI Data Validator.

6

Modernize

Repoint BI; expose Gold to MLflow & AI/ML workloads.

KPI Migration Accelerator: a proprietary transpiler converts 90%+ of SQL/ETL code (vs ~10% for open-source tools), enhanced by LLMs for complex, corner-case logic.
Target Architecture

The Toolkit

Accelerators & frameworks

A stack of proprietary, GenAI-powered, Databricks-native accelerators — the engine behind every migration.

Data Platform Migration Accelerator

GenAI code & data migration (CodeGPT AI Toolkit) — Oracle, Exadata, ADW & Informatica → Databricks SQL.

Data Integration Framework (KDIF)

Metadata-driven ingestion & PySpark pipeline generation for repeatable, governed data loads.

KPI Data Validator

Source-to-target reconciliation, data quality & observability — continuous QA across the pipeline.

Infrastructure Optimizer

Cluster & cost optimization — FinOps for the Lakehouse, right-sizing compute and spend.

ERP Analytics for Workday on Databricks

Prebuilt HR / ERP data products & common models — accelerating downstream analytics.

Unity Catalog Enablement

Governance, lineage & security across every domain — trusted, compliant data access.
