Data Modernization

Data Modernization for the AI-Driven Era

Teradata, on-prem SQL Server, Hadoop, or a legacy warehouse holding you back. We migrate you onto Snowflake or Databricks in phases, with the old system live until you trust the new one.

What We Do

Core Data Modernization Services

The full path off a legacy stack onto a modern cloud platform, sequenced so the business keeps running the whole way.

Legacy data migration

Legacy data migration

Moving your data off Teradata, on-prem SQL Server, Oracle, or Hadoop onto Snowflake or Databricks. We migrate in phases, reconcile every table row-by-row, and keep the old system live until the new one has earned your trust.

  • Phased, not big-bang
  • Row-by-row reconciliation, zero silent loss
  • Old system stays up until cutover is proven
Data warehouse modernization

Data warehouse modernization

Replacing a legacy or self-managed warehouse with a cloud-native one. Not a lift-and-shift that carries the old problems across, but a re-model that fixes what was broken before.

  • Re-modeled, not lifted-and-shifted
  • The old design flaws get fixed, not copied
  • Cost-tuned so the new bill is lower, not higher
Pipeline and workload re-platforming

Pipeline and workload re-platforming

Your ETL jobs, stored procedures, and scheduled workloads rebuilt on modern tooling. We translate legacy logic into dbt, Airflow, and Spark, tested against the old outputs so nothing silently changes.

  • Legacy logic rebuilt, not just relocated
  • Tested against old outputs, number for number
  • Documented so your team owns it afterward
Migration de-risking and cutover

Migration de-risking and cutover

The part that keeps CTOs up at night. We run old and new in parallel, reconcile continuously, and only cut over when the numbers match. Rollback stays possible until you say go.

  • Parallel run before any cutover
  • Continuous reconciliation, not a one-time check
  • Rollback available until you are ready

Not sure what your migration will cost?

Legacy migrations get quoted with a scary range and no explanation. Our free migration assessment gives you a real number and a phased plan, not a guess.

Why Brilworks

Engineers who migrate without the horror story

Every CTO has heard the migration that took the business offline for a weekend. We build the kind that does not.

Phased, never big-bang

We migrate in stages, not one terrifying weekend.

Old system stays live

The legacy stack runs until the new one is proven.

Reconciled row-by-row

Every table matched number for number, no silent loss.

Rollback until go

You can roll back until you say the cutover is done.

Re-modeled, not lifted

We fix the old design flaws, not carry them across.

Tested against old outputs

New logic matches old numbers before anything switches.

Cost cut, not carried

The new bill comes in lower, tuned from the start.

Handed over clean

Documented so your team runs it after we leave.

Client Stories

What Data Leaders Say

Real words from people who ran our work in production.

We moved off Teradata with zero downtime. Our ops team did not notice cutover day happened.

CM
Carlos MendezVP Infrastructure, Manufacturing

Reconciliation caught a rounding mismatch in a finance table before cutover. We would have gone live with wrong numbers otherwise.

JO
Julia OwensData Platform Lead, Healthcare

Our new Snowflake bill came in 28% below what we paid for the Hadoop cluster it replaced.

Common Questions

Data Modernization Services, Answered

Moving your data off legacy or self-managed systems onto a modern cloud platform, and fixing what was broken in the process. It covers the migration itself, re-modeling the warehouse, and rebuilding the pipelines and workloads that ran on the old stack.
Migration is moving the data. Modernization is migration plus fixing the design: a re-model instead of a lift-and-shift, tuned so the new platform is cheaper and cleaner than the old one. We do modernization, because a lift-and-shift just carries the old problems across.
We run the old and new systems in parallel, migrate in phases, and reconcile every table row-by-row. The legacy system stays live until the new one has proven itself, and rollback stays available until you call the cutover done. No big-bang weekend.
Teradata, on-prem SQL Server, Oracle, Hadoop, and older cloud warehouses. Onto Snowflake or Databricks, whichever fits your workloads and budget.
It depends on data volume, number of workloads, and how much legacy logic needs rebuilding. We give you a real number and a phased plan after a migration assessment, not a scary range with no explanation.
A phased migration shows working data early and cuts over in stages, so you see progress in weeks, not at the end of a quarter-long black box. Full timeline depends on scope, and you get a real one after assessment.
It usually goes down. We tune the new platform from the start rather than carrying the oversized legacy footprint across. If we cannot make the case that the new bill is lower, we will tell you.

One conversation is enough to know whether we are the right fit. Tell us what you are migrating off and where the risk sits, and we will give you a phased plan and a real number.
