Migrate your legacy data warehouse to Databricks
Proven strategies to help you achieve scalability, cost efficiency and AI innovation

Low-risk migration to a fast and open data warehouse
Legacy enterprise data warehouses (EDWs) are becoming a bottleneck for businesses aiming to scale operations and adopt advanced analytics. Traditional EDWs struggle with:
- Scalability: Expensive hardware upgrades delay projects and limit growth
- Cost efficiency: High up-front capital costs versus flexible pay-as-you-go cloud models
- Advanced analytics: Limited support for real-time insights, AI and machine learning (ML)
- Flexibility: Rigid systems that can’t adapt to new use cases or integrate diverse data sources
Migrating to a modern platform like the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform offers elastic scalability, reduced costs, built-in security and the ability to integrate open source technologies — avoiding vendor lock-in.
Get everything you need in this migration strategy guide. In this eBook, you’ll learn:
- Why modernizing your data warehouse is critical for scalability, cost savings and advanced analytics
- What Databricks’ structured migration strategy is for a seamless transition
- How to minimize risks with proofs of concept (POCs), MVPs and Databricks-native tools
