What does "modernising" a data warehouse actually mean?

Replacing an environment that has become slow and expensive to change with one that is not, and usually moving it to cloud infrastructure in the process. The symptom people notice is that questions take days to answer; the cause is normally complexity accumulated over years rather than the hardware.

How is this different from a migration?

A migration is the move. Modernisation is the move plus the platform you end up running and the capability to keep using it. If what you need right now is specifically the move, NANO eDWM is the service for that.

Do we have to change our BI tools?

No. A modernised warehouse supports querying from whichever business intelligence tool your teams already use, which matters because tool changes carry their own retraining cost that has nothing to do with the warehouse.

Cloud or on-premises?

Either, and often both. The point of modernising is that data movement and preparation are streamlined wherever they run, so speed and agility do not have to be bought at the cost of control over where the data sits.

What happens after the project finishes?

That is the part most often underestimated. Managed services keep the environment running and help you actually use the capabilities you moved for — because a modernised warehouse nobody operates well drifts back towards the state that prompted the project.

NANO Data Warehouse Modernization

Modernize Your Data Warehouses:

For faster data integration and analytics

Plan

A deliberate approach to building and running cloud environments: lower risk, lower cost, better performance.

Implement

We align the modernization and migration design with your business objectives, so the benefit is measurable and arrives sooner.

Manage

Our managed services keep the environment running and help you use the capabilities you moved for in the first place.

Accelerate your cloud journey with our Data Warehouse Modernization Jumpstart

Fully Managed Data Warehouse Ecosystem

A modernised warehouse environment supports growth and returns fast analytics across data sources that previously could not be queried together.

It lets decision-makers explore questions in the data in real time, with whichever business intelligence tool they already use.

On-Premise and Cloud Big Data Warehousing Ecosystem

Faster decisions, better performance and real scalability, by reducing the complexity that made the old warehouse slow to change

Data movement and preparation streamlined on-premises or in the cloud, so speed and agility do not cost you control

Data Warehouse Workload Migration Service

Migrating warehouse workloads on-premises or to the cloud, with automation reducing the risk, time and cost of the move

A full system assessment producing a defined migration plan and a defined cost

Migration executed with a proven methodology and purpose-built tooling

Consumption and performance tuned after the move, not just before it

Kickstart Your Data Modernization Journey

Whether you are still considering modernization or already in the middle of it, our specialists can help you finish it properly. If your immediate need is the move itself rather than the platform that follows, that is NANO eDWM — Enterprise Data Warehouse Migrations.

NANO eDWM
If the immediate need is the MOVE itself rather than the platform that follows, that is NANO eDWM.
NANO DHC
A warehouse is only worth modernising if the data reaching it is complete — the ecosystem is what feeds it.
NANO DDI
The analytics layer that sits on top of the modernised warehouse.
NANO PLICS
Patient-level costing is one of the heaviest analytical workloads a health system runs, and it is a common reason the old warehouse stopped coping.
