Replace Custom DataStage Pipelines With Managed SaaS Connectors
How to migrate IBM InfoSphere Information Server to Fivetran? It's a well-understood project. We assess your DataStage jobs, map each to a Fivetran connector or custom pipeline, and execute a fixed-scope migration
The lowest-cost way off IBM InfoSphere Information Server: our migration tooling automates the repetitive work —you pay senior engineers for judgment, not keystrokes.
How we support IBM InfoSphere Information Server → Fivetran after migration
- ✓Replace custom DataStage pipelines with managed Fivetran connectors.
- ✓Fixed-scope migration: 2–5 months, 1–2 senior engineers.
- ✓IBM InfoSphere Information Server stays under vendor support—no forced cutover.
- ✓40–70% savings on legacy platform support while you plan the move.
- ✓We guide you: where to use Fivetran vs when to keep custom pipelines.
Custom data engineering overhead
Maintaining DataStage pipelines ties up expensive data engineering headcount. Replace them with managed Fivetran connectors and free your team for higher-value work.
Cloud migration of transactional databases
As transactional databases move to the cloud, your IBM InfoSphere Information Server architecture needs to follow. Fivetran handles cloud-to-cloud ingestion natively.
IBM toolset cost cuts
IBM toolset costs are rising. Cut license and support spend by 40–70% on the legacy platform while you transition to Fivetran's subscription model.
IBM InfoSphere Information Server → Fivetran migration — your questions answered
How does a migrate datastage to Fivetran project work?+
We start by auditing your IBM InfoSphere Information Server environment—DataStage jobs, dependencies, and transformation logic. Then we map each pipeline to either a Fivetran connector, a custom SQL transformation, or a maintained custom pipeline. Your legacy system stays on vendor support during the active contract, with our third-party support available for most issues if it lapses. Timeline: 2–5 months with 1–2 senior engineers. Budget: $30,000–$180,000.
What about our in-flight highly complex transformations?+
Yes. We help you identify which complex transformations to keep as custom pipelines and which to refactor into Fivetran's dbt Core or SQL transformations. Your environment isn't forced into a one-size-fits-all approach.
Will we hit a coverage gap during the migration?+
Your vendor support remains active as long as your contract is current. If the renewal lapses, our independent third-party support covers most operational issues on IBM InfoSphere Information Server while you complete the move. You control the timeline—no big-bang cutover required.
What if we have non-supported proprietary databases?+
Fivetran connects to over 200 sources. If a non-supported proprietary database is involved, we design an alternative pipeline using a different integration tool or custom connector. We don't abandon your data—we find the right path for it.
