Business Need
Objectives Driving Transformation
A leading cloud computing services pioneer required migration of its Finance data mart from a legacy analytics environment to Google Cloud. The initiative aimed to standardize data architecture, improve operational efficiency, and realize measurable cost benefits while preserving critical historical data. Leadership also prioritized minimizing disruption to end users and delivering structured documentation to support adoption, governance, and long-term sustainability.
- Migrate Finance data mart to Google Cloud
- Standardize architecture and improve operational efficiencies
- Eliminate technical debt and reduce infrastructure cost
- Balance duplicate elimination with historical data retention requirements
- Minimize business user disruption during transition
- Deliver documentation to support change management and adoption
Modernize the Finance data mart by migrating from a legacy data store to Google Cloud to improve efficiency, reduce technical debt, and enable scalable analytics.
Challenge
Barriers to Progress
The migration required conversion of more than 400 SQL stored procedures within a complex delivery environment involving internal stakeholders and multiple third-party vendors. Manual integration methods and hand-coded transformations extended timelines and increased risk. QA processes were difficult to execute comprehensively within compressed implementation windows. Coordinating execution across distributed teams while maintaining quality standards added further complexity.
- 400 legacy SQL stored procedures requiring conversion
- Manual integration and hand-coded transformation processes
- Multi-vendor, multi-team coordination complexity
- Compressed implementation timeline
- QA constraints limiting comprehensive validation
- Risk of user disruption during platform transition
Solution & Results
What Paradigm Enabled
Paradigm leveraged proprietary cloud and Finance 360 automation accelerators to streamline migration and code conversion to Google Cloud. Automation reduced manual effort, accelerated transformation of legacy analytics assets, and strengthened QA rigor. Standardized coding frameworks and documentation practices were implemented to improve maintainability and traceability. The team delivered end-to-end coverage (analysis, conversion, QA, and documentation) without rework, stabilizing the new cloud-based analytics environment while minimizing user impact.
- $350,000 eliminated in technical debt
- 40% faster code conversion
- 30% faster overall execution compared to other consultancies
- Optimized infrastructure investments through automation
