From Oracle, Teradata, and Netezza to Exasol: A Practical Migration Playbook to Replacing Legacy Systems

A live technical walkthrough of how Exasol’s migration methodology and open-source tools help reduce migration risk, control costs, and minimize disruption when replacing legacy analytical databases.

• Date: 12^th August 2026

Migrating from Oracle, Teradata, IBM Netezza, Microsoft SQL Server, or SQL Server Analysis Services (SSAS) is about more than moving data. Teams need to manage project risk, control costs, avoid business disruption, and keep critical workloads running throughout the migration.

Exasol addresses these challenges with a structured, five-phase migration methodology and an open-source toolkit designed to help teams plan, validate, and execute migrations with greater confidence.

In this live webinar, Thomas Degen, Senior Solution Engineer at Exasol, walks through the migration methodology step by step, demonstrates the open-source toolkit in action, and shares lessons learned from real customer migrations, including the challenges teams encountered and how they addressed them.
