Evri, the UK's largest parcel delivery company (~1B parcels/year, 28K+ couriers), faced a daunting modernization: 1,200+ legacy objects across SAP HANA, Talend, and Power BI — all powering near-real-time operations with sub-10-minute SLAs. A traditional outsourced rewrite was projected to take 2–3 years. Hard contractual deadlines on both legacy platforms made that a non-starter. Datafold is a Databricks partner delivering outcome-based migrations at a fixed price with a guaranteed timeline, thanks to end-to-end AI automation. In this session, Evri's Chief Data Officer, Harvinder Atwal, and Datafold CEO, Gleb Mezhanskiy, share how Evri migrated and modernized all data processing on Databricks, leveraging Datafold's AI Migration Agent and Knowledge Graph for value-level validation across thousands of datasets. Both legacy platforms were decommissioned on time, in under a year, with zero disruption to operations.
