Demystifying DWH Migrations: De-Risk and Accelerate with Databricks Professional Services

For a long time, data warehouse migrations have been viewed as a "necessary evil" - high-risk, high-cost, and purely technical. But if you’re only looking at migration as a cost-saving or SQL code conversion exercise, you’re missing the bigger picture. A successful transition requires architectural realignment, managing technical debt, ensuring data integrity, and aligning with business goals.

This session explores the underlying complexity of DWH migrations and debunks the most dangerous myths that often derail the process and block AI-readiness.
