BI Platform Migration 

BI Platform Migration

Modernize Your Analytics Platform with Confidence

Business Intelligence platforms play a critical role in helping organizations make informed decisions. However, many organizations continue to operate on legacy BI platforms that are expensive to maintain, difficult to scale, and unable to support modern analytics requirements.

KASH Tech helps organizations modernize their analytics landscape by migrating reports, dashboards, and business logic from legacy BI platforms to modern analytics solutions. Whether you are moving from WebFOCUS, Cognos, Business Objects, Crystal Reports, MicroStrategy, or another reporting platform, our team ensures a smooth and successful transition.

Our proven migration methodology, combined with our proprietary KASH-MAP (Migration Accelerator Platform), helps organizations reduce migration effort by up to 30%, minimize risk, and accelerate time-to-value.

Faster, Smarter BI Platform Migration with KASH-MAP

Traditional BI migration projects often begin with a lengthy and costly discovery phase. Teams spend weeks or months manually reviewing reports, understanding business logic, documenting calculations, identifying data sources, and determining report dependencies.

KASH Tech developed KASH-MAP (Migration Accelerator Platform) to automate this process and provide a clear migration roadmap before development begins.

What KASH-MAP Does

KASH-MAP automatically analyzes your existing BI environment and creates a detailed inventory of your reporting assets.

The platform:

  • Scans and analyzes your entire BI report inventory
  • Identifies report dependencies and relationships
  • Groups similar reports to eliminate duplicate migration efforts
  • Extracts tables, columns, filters, joins, and metadata
  • Documents business calculations, KPIs, and derived metrics
  • Identifies reusable reporting components
  • Categorizes reports based on migration complexity
  • Provides detailed impact and dependency analysis
  • Generates migration-ready documentation
  • Creates target-platform-ready views to accelerate report development

This automated assessment significantly reduces manual analysis and provides a clear understanding of the migration effort required.

Supported Migration Scenarios

KASH Tech supports migrations across a wide range of BI and analytics platforms, including:

  • WebFOCUS to Power BI
  • WebFOCUS to Cognos
  • WebFOCUS to Tableau
  • WebFOCUS to Pyramid Analytics
