Accelerated Migration from Legacy BI

Automation Enhanced with AI

Many organizations are constrained by the high costs, licensing complexities, and infrastructure requirements of SaaS-based BI platforms like Microsoft Power BI, SpotFire, Sisense, Qlik, SAP Business Objects, Cognos and Looker.  Amazon QuickSight provides a more cost-effective, cloud-native alternative.  It offers pay-per-session pricing, serverless deployment, and easy embedding capabilities for internal and external applications. West Loop Strategy has partnered with AWS to deliver accelerator consulting packages that rapidly transform your legacy BI environments into QuickSight—helping you unlock new features and reduce operational burdens. With our proven migration methodology, our team of certified experts ensures a smooth transition while preserving your existing data models and reports.

Wave-Based Migration: Faster, Smarter, and More Agile
Traditional migrations require completing all data models before dashboard conversions, leading to long delays and late-stage issues. Our Wave-Based Migration Approach takes a different path—moving in iterative waves to accelerate progress and maximize impact.

Each wave focuses on a defined subset of data models and their associated dashboards, ensuring immediate validation and continuous optimization. This agile method keeps feedback loops tight, minimizes risk, and delivers results faster and smarter.

Why Choose the Wave Approach?
Faster Time to Value – Each wave delivers fully migrated dashboards and data models, allowing stakeholders to see progress and provide feedback early.

Lower Risk, Higher Confidence – Early validation through dashboards reduces the chances of major rework later in the process.

Continuous Optimization – Lessons from one wave inform the next, improving efficiency and refining the migration strategy in real time.

With our Wave-Based Migration Approach, your transition to a modern analytics platform is seamless, controlled, and built for success from day one.

Our framework provides a structured approach to transitioning your legacy BI environment, ensuring insights are preserved while unlocking new capabilities.
