Success Story

Modernized a Mission-Critical Capital Markets Data Platform with AI-Led Engineering for a Leading Capital Markets Firm

About the Client

A leading capital markets firm

Challenges

The client’s most critical reporting infrastructure ran on a legacy platform carrying immense operational risk: any error in the migration path would touch regulated, mission-critical capital-markets data with zero margin for loss.

  • 436 tables and 1,087 stored procedures managing 3.1 TB of capital-markets data, running on legacy Sybase IQ and Excel/VBA
  • 7-day report cycles, fragmented data access, and manual VBA processes constraining trading-floor and operations agility
  • Modernization required at scale, in a regulated environment, with zero margin for data loss

Solutions

Innover combined AI-led analysis with a validated, zero-loss migration path, using AI to understand every stored procedure before moving the platform to a modern, cloud-native foundation.

1. AI-led migration design: AI tools used to analyze all stored procedures and tables

2. Sybase-to-Azure SQL migration at scale: 3.1 TB migrated with zero data loss

3. Centralized Azure Data Mart and Tableau: a unified data mart and automated reporting framework delivered

4. AI tools used throughout: Claude, Cursor, Azure DMA, Azure SQL, and Azure Data Factory
