Modernizing data platforms used to mean months of manual effort, rewriting code line by line, and revalidating every transformation. But enterprises can no longer afford slow migrations — especially as AI demands faster access to clean, governed, and scalable data.
Indicium’s AI Migration Agents (Prompt2Pipeline) make the move to Databricks dramatically faster and smarter. Combining Generative AI, Agentic automation, and Indicium’s proprietary IP built from dozens of migration projects, these agents simulate the work of experienced data engineers and analysts — interpreting legacy logic, optimizing workloads, and generating Databricks-native pipelines ready for production.
From Legacy Complexity to Intelligent Automation
Most organizations still rely on legacy ETL tools such as SAS, SSIS, or Informatica, alongside SQL-based systems like SQL Server, Oracle, or Teradata. Each migration involves manually translating scripts, resolving dependencies, and replicating performance-tuned transformations. AI Migration Agents change that.
Through Prompt2Pipeline, agents read and understand existing code, documentation, and data lineage, automatically translating them into optimized Databricks workflows — including Lakeflow Declarative Pipelines and Unity Catalog integration. They validate business rules, replicate logic with deterministic accuracy, and even identify redundant steps or inefficiencies.
What used to take weeks or months is reduced to days, with results that are consistent, governed, and scalable across workloads.
Embedded Expertise, Built from Real Projects
At the heart of Prompt2Pipeline is Indicium’s own embedded IP — a library of patterns, frameworks, and migration heuristics derived from real enterprise projects. These patterns guide the AI agents in recognizing data architecture best practices, naming conventions, and performance optimizations that have proven effective in complex migrations.
It’s like giving the agents the accumulated experience of an entire engineering team. They don’t just move pipelines — they reconstruct them intelligently, ensuring each workload follows the standards expected on the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform.
Governance and Quality by Default
Every pipeline generated by AI Migration Agents comes with built-in governance and observability. Metadata, lineage, and validation tests are automatically enforced through Unity Catalog and Lakeflow Declarative Pipelines, ensuring traceability and compliance from day one.
This automation reduces technical debt while improving transparency — enabling data, AI, and governance teams to collaborate on a single, trusted foundation.
From Migration to AI Readiness
Once migrated, organizations gain more than modernized pipelines — they gain an AI-ready foundation. The same platform that powers data engineering now supports GenAI applications, agentic systems, and LLM-based copilots.
AI Migration Agents are not just accelerating modernization; they are redefining it. By combining automation, embedded expertise, and the scalability of Databricks, Indicium helps enterprises move from legacy systems to intelligent, governed data ecosystems — up to 7× faster, and ready for the next generation of AI innovation.
