What Next Pathway's Multinational Insurance and Financial Services Provider Case Study covers

A Multinational Insurance and Financial Services Provider migrated legacy systems to Databricks in just 3 months. Next Pathway’s automation platform translated 20+ extract applications, delivered significant cost savings, and enabled drastic execution time reduction for large applications.

Accelerated Databricks Migration

Next Pathway migrated legacy extract pipelines from Apache Hive, Oozie, and CA Technologies to Azure native environments using Azure Databricks and Delta Lake. Using SHIFT Cloud automation, the team translated more than 20+ extract applications within just 3 months, accelerating modernization timelines.

Cost Optimization and Performance Gains

The migration replaced a single large Hadoop cluster with multiple right sized clusters grouped by application requirements. This optimization reduced infrastructure costs, improved resource consumption efficiency, and enabled drastic execution time reduction through Delta Lake consistency and enhanced ACID transactions.

Simplified Data Operations

The new cloud architecture streamlined extract generation and reporting by enabling faster processing and improved SLA performance. A common extract template also simplified future business extract requirements while consolidating multiple technology stacks into a single target platform for lower support and maintenance effort.

What a successful Databricks migration covers

A successful migration to Databricks requires a structured approach across four critical phases to modernize legacy data and analytics platforms.

Legacy system discovery and assessment

Identify legacy databases, ETL workflows, reporting tools, and application dependencies before migration begins. A comprehensive assessment minimizes risk, uncovers hidden complexities, and enables accurate migration planning.

Code conversion and workload modernization

Legacy SQL, ETL jobs, stored procedures, and analytics workloads are transformed into Databricks-native pipelines using Apache Spark and Delta Lake. Automated code conversion accelerates migration while reducing manual effort.

Data validation and performance optimization

Validate migrated data, pipelines, and business logic to ensure accuracy, consistency, and functional equivalence. Optimize workloads for scalability, performance, and cost efficiency before production deployment.

Production deployment and operational readiness

Execute a well-defined cutover strategy with rollback planning, governance, user validation, and production monitoring. A structured deployment ensures a seamless transition with minimal business disruption.
