Practical Data Work · Index 01

Snowflake and Databricks migrations, done right the first time.

Warehouse migrations are high-stakes and easy to get wrong — stalled timelines, budget overruns, broken reporting. We move you off legacy Teradata, Hadoop, on-prem SQL, or Redshift with validated data, a clean cutover, and your team trained to run it. Built on a decade of data engineering at Facebook, BP, and Comcast.

One specialty.
Everything to support it.

Flagship · The practice

Snowflake & Databricks Migration

A warehouse migration is the riskiest project most data teams run all year. We move you off legacy Teradata, Oracle, Netezza, SQL Server, Hadoop, or Redshift onto Snowflake or Databricks — every table accounted for, every number reconciled, and a cutover your business doesn't feel. Assess → Convert → Validate → Cut over → Handover, with a decision gate after each phase.

05 — MethodHow the migration works

Five phases,
a gate after each.

We don't sell discovery decks. A phased migration with a decision gate after each step, so you're never committed to a path you can't see the end of — short feedback loops, transparent estimates, and a clean exit.

Discuss your migration

01

Assess

One-to-two-week inventory of every source object, pipeline, and report. You get a written migration plan with scope, cost, and risk — yours to keep whether or not we continue.

02

Convert

Schema, data types, and SQL/stored-procedure logic translated to the new platform — automated where it's safe, hand-reviewed where it matters. We modernize as we go.

03

Validate

The step most migrations skip and later regret. We reconcile row counts, aggregates, and business-critical metrics automatically, so you can prove the numbers match.

04

Cut over

A rehearsed, low-drama switch with parallel-run and rollback options, scheduled around your business so reporting keeps working. No "big bang" weekend prayers.

05

Handover

Documentation, runbooks, cost-optimization tuning, and shadowing until your team owns it. We answer questions for 90 days after cutover.
