T1A, a leader in data and analytics bacame a Gold Sponsor at the Data + AI Summit, the world’s largest data and AI conference, taking place June 10-13, 2024. With a focus on showcasing innovations, T1A presented one of its unique offerings Alchemist, an automated solution for legacy data platform migration.
Alchemist: Legacy Migration Solution by T1A
Alchemist by T1A is set to redefine the landscape of SAS Legacy Migration, offering end-to-end efficiency and unparalleled automation. While modernizing analytical workloads to the lakehouse presents numerous challenges, Alchemist streamlines the process, reducing the time and effort significantly.
"T1A’s tool-assisted migration to the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform greatly reduces time and effort, allowing clients to phase out legacy solutions sooner. With Alchemist automation we were able to streamline migration, testing, and ensure a smooth transition for Business Users to the Cloud," - says Kirill Chufarov, Head of Data Engineering at T1A.
With Alchemist, organizations can expect:
- 2x cheaper and faster code conversion: compared to manual efforts, Alchemist offers a cost-effective and efficient solution.
- Improved Resulting Code Quality: code re-written manually, especially at scale, always has numerous bugs, both big and subtle. The latter ones are all but impossible to catch during testing and eventually end up causing production incidents. Alchemist ensures precise conversion and is never tired.
- Flexibility and customization: Alchemist allows customizing and adjusting output based on specific enterprise requirements, which allows enforcing coding rules, security practices and even style preferences unique to your organization.
- Project Planning & Test Automation: analyzer capability provides structured metadata about code, jobs, data sources, interdependencies and more. This data is extremely useful not only for migration planning at scale, but is also an essential input to automated test suites that further reduce cost and increase efficiency of migration projects.
Besides, T1A's Alchemist has already proven its effectiveness in various projects, including:
- North America Telecom Revenue Assurance: T1A transitioned the Revenue Assurance processes and reporting from a Legacy SAS Solution to the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform. This migration, supported by Alchemist, ensured code conversion and enhanced the quality of the final data products, significantly speeding up the migration process.
- North America Health Insurance Provider Analytical Reporting: T1A completed Legacy Analytical Reporting migration to the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform, including User Enablement in the Cloud. Alchemist played a critical role in code conversion and legacy solution phase-out.
- EU Insurance Corporation Lakehouse: T1A Executed migration from Legacy DWH solution to the modernized cloud lakehouse built on Databricks, Alchemist was a central tool in conversion automation for thousands of legacy Pipelines, from SAS to Databricks.
