Full Life-cycle Automation
Data Platform Conversions represent a huge opportunity for System Integrators (SI’s). With the shift in tool stacks, and a move to the cloud, the time to win business is now. However, such large projects like this rarely end up with only 1 bid. How can you ensure that you’re producing the most competitive bid with the most amount of credibility behind it?
BladeBridge provides a path which enables automation throughout the entire conversion process, regardless of whether what road you decide to go down. If you and your customer decide to conduct a lift and shift, you'll lower your project risk by leveraging the conversion automation. If you decide to rebuild, you'll have the quality and automation from Studio in your teams hands.
You can reassure your clients that their consulting dollars are delivering to their maximum potential.
Steps
Automation During Discovery Phase
BladeBridge Analyzer empowers your Discovery Stages with your client by profiling the ETL/ELT and database metadata. The output from the Analyzer will help you quote the services for the actual conversion in a far more empirical method than the guestimate approach. However, the enablement from BladeBridge is just getting started at this point. The Analyzer will help your team make a critical determination on whether a lift-and-shift or a rebuild project are the most appropriate approach. Either approach is supported by BladeBridges automation tools, further empowering your position to win the conversion project.
Imagine finishing your discovery with a detailed inventory of all the objects in a multi tabbed spreadsheet, including:
Databases
- Complexity Categorization Count
- With documented scoring methods
- SQL Programs
- Dynamic SQL
- Functions
- Referenced Objects
- Program Objects Xref
- Raw Program Objects Xref
- Referenced Variables
- Program Variables Xref

Sales Feedback
"Rather than guessing like the other SI's were, we came in with fact based inventories of my clients environment. Coupling that with our team's A-players helped us bump out our competitors."
About
<!-- -->Automation for the Lift and Shift
If your discovery with Analyzer reveals that a Lift & Shift is the best approach then the BladeBridge Converter can be your “ace card” for ensuring your team can deliver the conversion in the shortest possible time putting you in control of your margin buffers for your conversion.
When Converter is used during your conversion, your team is able to batch together coding patterns which were used in the legacy data landscape. These patterns then are auto-mapped to the target data platform. As batch code is converted the tool automatically logs the Pass/Fail code. Your consultants are enabled with the ability to adapt the converter to custom complex patterns.
