Next Pathway Inc., a leader in automated cloud migration, has announced significant upgrades to its SHIFT Product Platform, now enhanced with advanced AI models and infrastructure innovations. These new features boost the platform’s capability to streamline cloud migration projects, driving remarkable improvements in speed, accuracy, and efficiency.
AI-Enhanced CRAWLER360™ for Superior Data Migration Insights
The latest upgrades to the SHIFT platform include the integration of AI into CRAWLER360™, a tool designed to crawl both cloud-based and on-premises data warehouses and data lakes. The AI-driven enhancements enable the platform to extract valuable insights from large, complex data environments, optimizing migration planning. This improvement helps clients prepare more effectively for complex cloud migration projects by providing faster and more accurate reports that detail code composition, job categorization, and data flow lineages. Additionally, it offers the ability to rationalize the components within a data warehouse before code translation, which significantly enhances the overall migration process.
“Our engineering team has integrated AI to revolutionize how CRAWLER360™ crawls data warehouses and data lakes—both cloud-based and on-premises. This new capability distills valuable insights from vast data environments, improving migration planning and empowering clients to better prepare for complex cloud migration initiatives. Using AI to improve our crawling capabilities has allowed us to deliver better, faster reports which detail code composition, job categorization, job and dataflows lineages as well as the ability to rationalize the components contained in a data warehouse prior to code translation. This is giving our customers great confidence in how we plan to tackle complex migrations,” said a representative from Next Pathway.
