Whether you’ve decided to update your data estate by moving onto the cloud, are in the middle of a cloud migration, or just starting to learn about cloud migration and its benefits, here are our methodologies and best practices.
Accelerated Data Migration
Overview
By migrating to a modernized data estate, enterprises remove the restrictions from legacy systems, lower the overall data management costs and gain unprecedented value from their data. Blueprint firmly believes migrating to the cloud allows companies to use data most effectively at scale and reach future success.

The Blueprint Way
Powered by Accelerators
Our pre-built accelerators enable you to migrate with speed, consistency, and quality.
- Assessment Engine: Analyze source system metadata and code to accurately plan and forecast migration projects.
- Conversion Automation: Batch refactor code from/to various data platforms — 80% or more of legacy code can by automated.
- QA/QC Engine: See data outcomes in relation to processing jobs to ensure consistent results.
- Lakehouse Monitor: Get real-time visibility to costs and performance of Databricks to ensure maximized ROI.
How to Engage
Ready to kick off a data migration project but unsure where to begin? We offer several ways to begin your journey. We highly suggest one of these initial steps, but we’ll always recommend what’s best after our initial conversation.
Migration Assessment
A two-day process to run the analysis tools and conduct the workshop.
- Run analyzer for legacy system
- Project definition workshop
- Outcomes (roadmap and draft SOW, consumption forecast, and objections and concerns addressed)
Use Case Modernization
Modernize a single high-value use case or business process.
- Prove value of full migration by delivering a single use case all the way to production
- Uncover any unexpected barriers or concerns before full migration
- Project full TCO with higher confidence
- Establish footprint for Databricks to continue growing within customer environment
QuickStart (Accelerated POC)
A two-week accelerated proof of concept (POC) for new users that will:
- Introduce the data team to the Lakehouse
- Prepare the Databricks environment with scripted infrastructure-as-code
- Complete two full data pipelines using native Fivetran connections
- Analyze with SQL analytics and BI tools
- Plan next steps with a roadmap to success

We’re often asked to compare Databricks vs. Snowflake, but these two platforms were born to serve different functions and coexisted as a great pairing to address different needs. Here is our current comparison of the two platforms.
Today’s challenges, marked by the new normal, a looming recession, persistent inflation, layoffs, rising prices, and an ongoing supply chain crisis, have elevated cloud cost optimization to a pressing concern—with solutions like Databricks emerging as particularly effective.
