Migrating legacy ETL workloads like Informatica to the cloud is never just a “lift and shift.” It’s a mix of code conversion and code replacement — a process that often takes 12–18 months and can easily run over budget and schedule. Common pain points:
- Tools that promise more automation than they deliver, leaving expensive last‑mile fixes.
- Rip‑and‑replace code that needs far more testing than converted code.
- Staff retraining when moving to unfamiliar technologies.
Where W2SQL from Agility1st Helps
W2SQL from Agility1st uses a rule‑based conversion engine to transform Informatica workflows into production‑ready SQL for any cloud data platform — without manual tweaking for supported transformations. It can handle:
- Complex conditions and custom SQL.
- Multi‑step transformations with field‑level lineage you can audit and trust.
The benefits for your migration project:
- Shorter timelines — often cutting migration time by half.
- Less testing effort than with rip‑and‑replace approaches.
- Preserved institutional knowledge — no wholesale retraining.
