Case Study: CHG Healthcare migrates from MySQL to Snowflake 6x faster with Datafold

CHG Healthcare cuts MySQL-to-Snowflake migration time from 18 months to 3 months with Datafold

CHG Healthcare, one of America's largest healthcare staffing firms, faced a complex challenge migrating over a thousand custom MySQL queries to Snowflake. This critical reporting system ensured healthcare professionals were properly credentialed, and the migration required perfect data parity with no service disruption. A manual approach using contractors was estimated to take 18 months and carried significant risk and cost.

Using Datafold's AI-powered Data Migration Agent, CHG Healthcare automated the SQL translation and validation process. Datafold's solution translated the queries and used cross-database data diffing to ensure perfect accuracy. This reduced the migration timeline from an estimated 18 months to just 3 months, cutting costs by 80% while guaranteeing data parity across all reports.
