What Next Pathway's Cloud Migration Checklist covers
A step-by-step framework for enterprises moving legacy workloads to the cloud. Three phases, from full-estate discovery to parity proven before cutover.
The Foundation: Intelligence Graph
Our SLMs scan and unify your entire estate into one contextual layer — ETL logic, semantic lineage, real usage, and the SOPs around the code. Full visibility before anything moves.
Automated Translation
Our SLMs translate every layer of your estate automatically onto the target platform you choose — legacy SQL, stored procedures, and complex ETL included. 100% automated code coverage with zero manual intervention, preserving 100% of core business logic.
Testing: Parity & Cutover
Build your test plan before any code is translated. Automated testing frameworks and data validation prove 1:1 functional parity between legacy and new systems before cutover, with business users and SMEs involved in defining success criteria so parity is judged against real usage.

What a structured Cloud Migration covers
A successful cloud migration follows three phases — any source, any target.
Discovery and dependency mapping
Every table, job, report, and dependency scanned and cataloged into one contextual intelligence layer — ETL logic, semantic lineage, real usage, and SOPs. Partial visibility creates surprises later.
Code translation and modernization
Decide upfront whether pipelines are rewritten natively or repointed, and base scope and sequencing on actual access and lineage data rather than assumptions. This decision drives effort across the whole migration.
Validation and functional parity
Legacy SQL, stored procedures, and complex ETL translated automatically onto your target platform. 100% code coverage, zero manual intervention, 100% of core business logic preserved.
Production cutover planning
Test plan built before any code is translated. Automated frameworks and data validation prove 1:1 functional parity — with business users defining success criteria — before you go live.
