Fortune 500 Financial Services
From 18 Months to 6 Weeks: Replacing Informatica
The Challenge
A global bank needed to migrate 850 Informatica PowerCenter workflows to cloud. Initial estimates with Informatica showed 18 months and $4.2M in costs.
The AI Solution
Switched to AI-powered migration platform. AI automatically analyzed all 850 workflows, generated optimized cloud-native transformations, and validated data quality.
The Results
6 Weeks
vs 18 months planned
$1.2M
vs $4.2M budgeted
100%
Data accuracy validated
"We were skeptical about replacing Informatica, but the AI platform delivered in 6 weeks what would have taken us 18 months. The cost savings alone paid for the platform 3x over."
— VP of Data Engineering
