What Next Pathway's A French luxury goods manufacturer Case Study covers
A French luxury goods manufacturer migrated DB2 and SQL Server to Snowflake while modernizing ETL and data management workflows. Next Pathway automated the migration of 6,000+ objects, reduced operational costs, improved performance, and enhanced data accessibility across the organization.
Large scale migration automation
Next Pathway used its AI enabled SHIFT platform to translate legacy IBM DB2 and SQL Server workloads for Snowflake compatibility. The migration included translating and reconfiguring Cognos Data Manager and repointing Talend jobs to Snowflake and DBT.
Conversion of 6,000+ objects
SHIFT successfully migrated more than 6,000 objects while allowing existing workflows to continue running without major rewrites. The project included detailed validation and documentation to ensure accurate translation and optimized performance in Snowflake.
Modernized data infrastructure
The migration enabled the customer to reduce operational costs, improve performance, and enhance data accessibility across the organization. The move from DB2, SQL Server, and Talend to Snowflake also strengthened the company’s data management capabilities.

What a structured Snowflake migration covers
A successful migration to Snowflake requires a clear plan across four disciplines.
Discovery and dependency mapping
Every code object, ETL pipeline, and data dependency needs to be identified and documented before migration begins. Hidden complexity discovered mid-migration creates delays and risk.
Code translation and modernization
Legacy SQL, stored procedures, and ETL pipelines must be converted into optimized, Snowflake-native workloads. Automated translation eliminates manual rework and ensures full coverage.
Validation and functional parity
Every migrated workload must be validated against the legacy source to confirm data accuracy and functional equivalence before cutover. 100% parity is not optional.
Production cutover planning
Cutover requires a defined plan covering resource allocation, rollback decisions, and business sign-off. Teams that plan cutover from the start move faster and with greater confidence.
