Data Warehouse Modernization
Transform legacy data systems into a modern, scalable, cloud‑ready architecture built for speed, reliability, and intelligence.
We help you modernize your data warehouse with a future‑ready architecture that improves performance, reduces complexity, and enables analytics and AI across the enterprise.
Why Modernization Matters
Many legacy data warehouses were built on strong architectural principles — integration, governance, conformed dimensions, and cross‑domain analytics. The challenge isn’t the EDW itself. It’s the ecosystem that has accumulated years of technical debt, custom code, and operational complexity, making it harder to meet today’s scale, speed, and AI‑driven expectations.
Modernization focuses on removing the friction that has grown around the warehouse, not replacing the principles that made it valuable:
- Brittle pipelines that are slow, or overly dependent on shrinking batch windows
- Governance as an artifact that exists but isn’t automated or consistently enforced
- Domain models that are sound but difficult and costly to extend
- Infrastructure that scales technically but not operationally or financially
- Fragmented metadata, lineage, and quality checks across disparate tools
Our modernization approach strengthens what already works while surgically eliminating the constraints that slow down analytics and AI initiatives.
Regulated Industry Experience
Our modernization engagements include healthcare, life sciences, and financial services environments — where compliance, audit readiness, and data governance aren’t optional. We understand the constraints your industry operates under, and we design around them from day one.
OUR MODERNIZATION APPROACH
Structured, Architecture‑First
Data Warehouse Modernization
We take a structured, architecture‑first approach to modernization — combining technical assessment, platform design, and a clear roadmap that reduces risk and accelerates value. Our methodology ensures legacy systems are transformed into modern, cloud‑ready platforms while maintaining business continuity and maximizing ROI.
01
Technical Assessment
Comprehensive analysis of current architecture, performance bottlenecks, data quality, and technical debt to identify modernization priorities.
02
Platform Design
Future‑proof architecture design with cloud‑native patterns, scalable data pipelines, and AI‑ready foundations.
03
Risk‑Managed Roadmap
Phased implementation plan with clear milestones, risk mitigation, and value realization tracking.
Expected Outcomes
✓
Meaningful Cost Reduction
Lower TCO through right-sized, cloud-optimized infrastructure — scope-dependent
✓
Measurable Performance Gains
Faster queries, reduced batch windows, and real‑time capabilities where it matters most
✓
Zero Business Disruption
Phased migration ensuring continuity — operations never stop while modernization proceeds
✓
AI‑Ready Foundation
Governed, documented data that feeds analytics and ML without rework
PROVEN IN PRACTICE
Delivering Measurable Results for a Global Life Sciences Leader
We modernized a legacy SQL Server data warehouse to meet stringent FDA compliance, eliminate performance bottlenecks, and create a scalable analytics foundation.
The Challenge
- Legacy SQL Server environment at capacity, expanding processing windows
- Fragile ETL pipelines creating operational risk
- No end‑to‑end data lineage for FDA audit requirements (21 CFR Part 11, GxP)
- Inconsistent data models across domains
Our Solution
- Modernized Architecture: Re‑platformed to Azure Fabric/Synapse patterns
- Automated Compliance: Implemented end‑to‑end lineage for audit readiness
- Optimized Pipelines: Redesigned ingestion & transformation for reliability
- Structured Migration: Executed a risk‑managed, phased transition
