Frequently Asked Questions

Why is Novuz a Product-Led Migration Platform?

Novuz is a fully productized platform designed to serve as a migration expert system. It enables self-service modernization by guiding users through the reengineering of legacy data warehouses, schemas, ETL pipelines, and workflows.

Through end-to-end automation, Novuz transforms legacy systems into production-ready cloud pipelines, eliminating the need for labor-intensive, manual migration.

What does “production-ready cloud pipeline” mean?

A production-ready cloud pipeline goes beyond simple lift-and-shift.

Novuz reengineers legacy data warehouses and ETL ecosystems into fully cloud-native architectures, optimized for scalability, performance, and maintainability. The result is a modern data platform built for real-world production workloads.

Is the reengineering AI-based? How do you avoid probabilistic outputs?

Yes, but with a fundamentally different approach.

Novuz uses a deterministic, context-aware Bayesian model to drive reengineering. This ensures:
a. Predictable outcomes
b. High accuracy
c. Consistent, repeatable results

Unlike purely probabilistic AI approaches, Novuz avoids variability and delivers reliable, production-ready transformations.

How can I evaluate if Novuz is right for my organization?

You can explore Novuz in several ways:
a. Request a live demo or watch a recorded session
b. Try the platform with a trial account
c. Run a free migration assessment with your workloads
d. Share sample code or pipelines for evaluation

This flexible approach allows you to validate value before committing.

Do I need to install anything to get started?

No installation is required for initial evaluation. Novuz offers a fully online platform for demos and trials.

For enterprise use cases, we also provide secure deployment options - Docker or VM-based installations in fully isolated environments within your network. This ensures complete control over your code and data.

How accurate is the migration?

Novuz delivers:
a. 95% automation  with 90%+ conversion accuracy
b.
Up to 3x faster migration timelines

This significantly reduces manual coding effort and post-migration fixes.

What about the remaining edge cases?

For scenarios that require attention, Novuz:
a. Generates detailed reconciliation reports
b. Identifies gaps and incomplete conversions
c. Provides clear guidance for resolution

Optional expert services are also available to assist with final refinements.

What are within Novuz migration scope?

Novuz supports end-to-end migration of:
a. Database schemas and  objects (tables, views, functions, stored procedures)
b. SQL logic
c. ETL pipelines
d. Workflow and orchestration processes
e. Data

The output is a fully modernized, cloud-native system, typically built on distributed, PySpark-based architectures.

How does Novuz reduce risk?

Risks are reduced through:
a. Deterministic conversion (no unpredictable outputs)
b.Automated validation (schema and data)
c. Minimal manual intervention

This ensures consistency, reliability, and confidence throughout the migration process.

What cost savings can customers expect?

Customers typically achieve:
a. ~40% reduction in migration costs
b. Significant reduction in engineering effort  
c. Faster time to production

In many enterprise cases, results include:
a. Up to 75% total cost savings
b. 3x faster delivery timelines

Can Novuz handle mission-critical systems?

Yes.

Novuz is built for enterprise-scale, mission-critical data systems, ensuringhigh reliability and production readiness. Proven implementations demonstrateits ability to handle complex, large-scale migrations with confidence.

Who is Novuz best suited for?

a. Enterprises modernizing legacy data platforms
b. Organizations migrating to cloud data ecosystems
c. Teams looking to reduce dependency on manual migration
