This is our story of co-creating an intelligent automated solution with a wearables technology leader to successfully migrate vast quantities of data from a legacy environment to a cloud platform.
As we know…
Digital and wearable technologies are revolutionizing healthcare delivery with the sheer volume and velocity of data they generate. However, storing and managing such data in a legacy environment can be difficult. A cloud infrastructure with massive storage and computational capabilities is better suited to the workload.
However, moving from a traditional environment to the cloud is complex and prone to pitfalls. A well-planned and automated data migration strategy is necessary to successfully execute the transfer and secure the data.
The challenge for our client, a leading producer of fitness wearables, was…
Migrating data from enterprise systems to a cloud platform to implement a cloud-first data strategy that would reduce costs, maximize data monetization and improve data analytics.
The company was migrating data manually, which was complex, costly and fraught with delays. Technical differences in the data storage format between the two systems meant that identifying and mapping the target data model accurately, reconciling data and validating schema had to be done with painstaking care to ensure data integrity and consistency.
The scale of the undertaking added to the challenge, as the company had acquired high volumes of supply chain operations data across enterprise systems. Each step of the migration was slow, error-prone and lacking in visibility.
WNS stepped in to accelerate the transformation by…
Leveraging Triange NxT, a key pillar of WNS Triange (our AI, analytics, data and research practice), to co-create a solution that could move large datasets from the old platform to the cloud.
Our team of data engineering experts defined a strategy that employed extensive automation, including a custom-built, AI-enabled migration accelerator. The accelerator dynamically created the target data model, schema, partitions and optimal system resource usage for speedy data migration.
Key aspects of the Python-based solution included:
- Flexible support for multiple file formats, including Avro, Parquet and CSV
- Highly scalable design with built-in failover and data reconciliation capabilities
- Seamless transfer and storage of data in various cloud formats
- Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA)-based encryption for maximum data security during migration
Expert and decisive execution of the solution empowered the client to…
Map and design an automated data structure for the new cloud environment, which helped reduce errors and the time required to implement the migration. Key outcomes included:
40 percent reduction in migration timelines
30 percent acceleration in time-to-market for new products
30 percent savings in managed services cost
Timely decommissioning of all legacy systems
Significant reduction in data reconciliation effort
