Case Study: Poste Italiane achieves seamless Teradata-to-Azure Synapse migration with Datometry

Poste Italiane Supercharges Digital Transformation with Datometry

Poste Italiane was pursuing a digital transformation strategy based on Microsoft Azure but faced the daunting challenge of migrating its 487 TB data warehouse from Teradata to Azure Synapse. A conventional code conversion was considered too risky, expensive, and prone to failure. Poste Italiane needed to avoid costly hardware upgrades for its legacy system and sought a solution that would enable a seamless transition without business disruption.

Using the Datometry Hyper-Q platform, Poste Italiane repointed its existing applications to the new system without any code changes, preserving investments in ETL, BI, and reporting tools. Datometry provided real-time SQL translation, ensuring full functional parity between the old and new platforms. This approach allowed the migration to be completed without any downtime by a small team. As a result, Poste Italiane accelerated its time to value, saved approximately 75% in migration costs compared to a conventional approach, and successfully supercharged its digital transformation.
