What Next Pathway's Global Media Company Case Study Covers
A Global Media Company migrated Netezza to Snowflake in just 4 months. Next Pathway’s automation platform delivered 100% UAT ready code in 4 weeks, accelerated migration timelines by 62%, and improved QA timelines by 71%.
Accelerated Netezza Modernization
The customer needed to migrate completely off Netezza due to an end of support deadline. Next Pathway translated over 1,000 tables and more than 500 stored procedures to run natively in Snowflake within four months.
Faster Delivery with Automated Translation
Previous manual migration attempts failed because of high costs, code quality concerns, and missed deadlines. Using the SHIFT Migration Suite, Next Pathway delivered 100% UAT ready code for Snowflake in just 4 weeks and accelerated migration timelines by 62%.
Higher Quality Code and Faster QA
The migration included translation of 50,000 lines of Netezza code and refactoring of 150,000 lines of stored procedure code for Snowflake. SHIFT Migration Suite’s 4 Point QA process accelerated QA timelines by 71% by identifying and remediating defects faster before deployment.

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.
