Deterministic modernization platform that converts legacy stored procedures, ETL, and data orchestration logic into modern, production-ready pipelines while keeping your data and code safely inside your own environment.

How does Novuz handle BTEQ scripts?

Novuz parses each BTEQ script, including its SQL and its control commands such as .IF, .GOTO and error-code checks. It converts the SQL to Databricks SQL or PySpark. It keeps the control flow in notebook logic. Each script is then reconciled against the original output on the same input data.

What about Teradata SQL that Databricks does not support?

Novuz has fixed rules for Teradata-specific syntax and behavior. That includes QUALIFY, SET table deduplication, implicit casts and case-insensitive comparisons. Where a pattern has no direct match, the resolver proposes an equivalent and an engineer reviews it. Reconciliation then confirms the results match.

Can we finish before our Teradata renewal?

That depends on estate size and how close the renewal is. Start with the assessment, which takes 3 business days. It gives you a timeline and price for the full estate. If the renewal is close, the assessment can also identify which domains to move first.

Does Novuz migrate the data as well as the code?

Yes. Novuz migrates data in bulk and incrementally, and validates it with the same reconciliation checks used for code. Most teams move the data for a domain first, then run converted logic against it. That way every comparison uses the same inputs.

Does Novuz run in our cloud account?

Yes. Novuz deploys as a container or VM inside your AWS, Azure or Google Cloud account, next to your Databricks workspace. Your code and data never leave your environment. No outbound connection is required; if you choose a hosted model for the resolver, only the edge-case fragments go to it, under your own agreement.

How is this different from a services-led migration?

A services team rewrites code by hand and bills for hours. Novuz converts code with software and prices by object and complexity. The output is the same on every run, and each object has a reconciliation report. Many customers still use a systems integrator to run the program, with Novuz doing the conversion.

What target patterns do you produce on Databricks?

Novuz produces Delta tables, Databricks SQL views and functions, notebooks and Databricks Workflows. The assessment agrees naming standards, catalog layout in Unity Catalog and the split between SQL and PySpark. Converted code follows those standards so your team can maintain it after the migration.

What does a First Domain cover?

A First Domain is one domain of up to 1,500 components and 25 TB, converted, reconciled and cutover-ready in your environment in 5 to 6 weeks, for $25,000 to $40,000, credited against the full estate. You agree the objects and the reconciliation threshold up front. If the threshold is missed at the readout, the equivalence guarantee waives or credits the fee in full.

Teradata to Databricks

Teradata to Databricks migration

The short answer

Novuz converts Teradata SQL, BTEQ scripts, macros and stored procedures into Databricks SQL and PySpark with fixed rules. Every object ships with a reconciliation report, and the software runs inside your own cloud account.

Risks

What breaks in a Teradata migration

These are the five problems we see most often in Teradata estates.

BTEQ scripts mix SQL with control logic such as .IF, .GOTO and error codes, and that flow is easy to lose.
Teradata-specific SQL, such as QUALIFY and SET tables, behaves differently on Databricks. So do implicit casts and case-insensitive comparisons.
Macros and stored procedures depend on volatile and global temporary tables that need a new pattern.
FastLoad, MultiLoad and TPT jobs carry load logic and error handling outside the SQL.
Scheduler dependencies in tools such as Control-M or cron are often undocumented and break silently.

Coverage

What Novuz converts

Final coverage is confirmed during the assessment.

Teradata object	Databricks target
Tables (SET, MULTISET)	Delta tables with deduplication logic where needed
Views	Databricks SQL views
Macros	SQL functions or parameterized notebooks
Stored procedures	Databricks SQL procedures or PySpark
BTEQ scripts	Notebooks with control flow preserved
Volatile / global temporary tables	Temporary views or session tables
FastLoad / MultiLoad / TPT	Auto Loader or COPY INTO jobs
Scheduled jobs	Databricks Workflows with original dependencies
Data	Bulk and incremental data migration

Worked example

What a typical estate looks like

An illustrative Teradata estate at a mid-size insurer. These figures are an example, not a customer result.

3,500 BTEQ scripts, of which 900 use control flow commands
600 macros and 400 stored procedures
9,000 tables and 2,000 views across 40 databases
120 TB of data
Complexity split: 55% low, 32% medium, 13% high
Assessment output: a fixed price for the full estate and a recommended first domain of about 1,500 objects

Proof

Delivered on Databricks

Delivered estates of 1,000 to 1,600 objects typically go from code received to reconciled output in 4 to 8 weeks, with every object reconciled.¹ Novuz is a Databricks validated technology partner, with three Databricks-commissioned enterprise migrations delivered. The same engine and validation process applies to Teradata.

First Domain

$25,000 to $40,000. 5 to 6 weeks on one domain of up to 1,500 components. Equivalence guarantee in writing.²

Full estate

Fixed from the assessment. Typically $40,000 to $200,000 for 1,500 to 10,000 objects, or an enterprise license for larger estates.²

Honest fit

Who should not choose Novuz

Novuz is not the right choice for estates under about 300 objects; for Oracle-only or mainframe estates; for teams with no target and no date inside 18 months; for buyers who want staff augmentation rather than software; or for organizations that cannot run software inside their environment or share code for an assessment.
