The Future of Data Migration Fueled by Generative AI - Onix

 As enterprises accelerate their move from legacy systems to the cloud, data migration is no longer a technical afterthought—it’s a strategic business imperative. And now, with the rise of Generative AI, the global data migration market is expected to skyrocket to $11 billion by 2025.

While 2022 marked the rise of Generative AI in public awareness, 2024 is the year it moves beyond the hype, solving real-world business challenges—starting with the complexity of data migration.

In this blog, we explore how GenAI is transforming every stage of the data migration journey.

Why Traditional Data Migration Falls Short

A staggering 80% of data migration projects fail to meet their goals, often exceeding budgets or deadlines. The process is intricate—dealing with inconsistent metadata, incomplete datasets, regulatory challenges, and poor data quality.

This is where Generative AI-powered tools come in, offering game-changing solutions for streamlining, securing, and scaling the data migration process.

Key Areas Where Generative AI Elevates Data Migration

1. Synthetic Data Generation

Tools like Kingfisher, a synthetic data generator integrated with large language models (LLMs), can generate synthetic data to enrich or complete datasets. These AI-generated datasets are:

  • Richer and more diverse than the original data

  • Useful for filling gaps in incomplete records

  • Safe to use in testing and development environments

2. Automated Data Validation

GenAI solutions automate data cleansing by understanding the structure and semantics of data, detecting inconsistencies, and validating integrity at scale. This significantly accelerates the migration timeline and ensures data accuracy.

3. Intelligent Schema Mapping

Tools like Eagle, cloud migration planning tools leverage semantic understanding to map source and target schemas with precision. Generative AI:

  • Identifies attributes and relationships

  • Automates schema mapping

  • Minimizes risk of data loss

  • Recommends mappings based on machine learning

4. Enhanced Data Security

Recent high-profile breaches highlight the need for secure migration. With synthetic data capabilities, GenAI:

  • Generates “artificial” datasets that mimic sensitive data

  • Maintains data privacy while training or testing models

  • Ensures compliance with GDPR and other data privacy regulations

Business Benefits of GenAI in Data Modernization

Streamlined Migration

AI-powered tools automate repetitive, manual processes such as:

  • Infrastructure provisioning

  • Compatibility testing

  • Data analysis and transformation

This frees up teams to focus on strategic initiatives.

Improved Schema Mapping

GenAI understands complex database structures and automates the schema mapping process, including data pre-joining—merging tables into a unified structure to modernize legacy databases.

Faster, More Accurate Code Translation

Also known as refactoring, this is critical to modernizing apps during migration. GenAI:

  • Understand source code logic

  • Translates it to target languages

  • Optimizes performance on cloud platforms

Greater ROI & Cost Efficiency

According to McKinsey, GenAI tools contribute to:

  • Discovering new use cases

  • Reducing migration time and costs

  • Boosting developer productivity on cloud platforms
