The Missing Step in Every Migration Program

Discover, Rationalize, and Modernize Data with Confidence

Most organizations begin modernization programs without a complete picture of their data estate, its dependencies, and what is actually being used.

The Archaeologist closes that gap. It automatically inventories the full data estate, maps dependencies across systems, and classifies every asset by actual business usage so migration programs start with an accurate scope, known risks, and a plan built on evidence.

The Archaeologist gives migration teams the visibility they need to rationalize scope, eliminate avoidable costs, and build a migration plan grounded in evidence rather than estimates.

What We Deliver

Metadata Discovery and Inventory Creation

Builds a complete inventory of tables, views, stored procedures, jobs, and data assets across legacy platforms without manual cataloguing effort.

Dependency and Lineage Analysis

Maps relationships across tables, views, jobs, and applications to surface hidden dependencies before they become migration incidents.

Hot/Cold Asset Classification

Classifies assets as actively used or dormant using workload patterns and query logs, not metadata assumptions.

Migration Readiness and Rationalization Recommendations

Delivers asset-level recommendations to migrate, archive, retire, or defer, packaged into an inventory report, dependency map, rationalization report, and executive summary.

AI-Augmented Assessment Workflows

Replaces manual inventory analysis and stakeholder interviews with automated discovery workflows that compress assessment from months to days.

Platform-Agnostic Source Connectivity

Covers Teradata, Oracle, SQL Server, DB2, Netezza, and PostgreSQL across heterogeneous enterprise estates.

Governed Delivery and Audit Controls

Operates within enterprise security frameworks with role-based access, audit logging, and security configurations applied from day one.

Reporting and Visualization

Delivers findings through interactive dashboards and structured reports suited to migration teams, architects, and business leadership.

The NuSummit Advantage

Discovery-First
Approach

Rationalizes the data estate before migration begins, eliminating scope inflation and rework from the start.

Usage-Aware
Rationalization

Combines catalogue analysis with actual workload patterns to separate business-critical assets from historical accumulation.

Automated Dependency
Intelligence

Maps hidden relationships across tables, views, jobs, and applications that manual interviews routinely miss.

Migration Scope
Optimization

Identifies assets to retire, archive, or defer, directly reducing migration volume, costs, and target environment overhead.

AI-Augmented
Assessment

Compresses pre-migration assessment from months to days by replacing manual inventory and lineage work with automated workflows.

Platform-Agnostic
Architecture

Covers Teradata, Oracle, SQL Server, DB2, Netezza, and PostgreSQL across heterogeneous enterprise estates.

Use Cases

See Everything.
Migrate Only What matters.

Migration programs that begin without data estate visibility consistently overrun on scope, cost, and timeline. The Archaeologist gives migration teams and leadership a shared, evidence-based picture of what to move, what to retire, and what to defer before a single resource is committed.
