Legacy ETL/ELT and data visualization tools have become complex, costly,
and no longer aligned with modern data stack requirements (scalability, interoperability, simplicity).
Migrations are necessary… but often long, risky, and expensive.
{openAudit}, leveraging fine-grained reverse engineering, enables
automated “as is” migrations of ETL/ELT and certain dataviz tools—faster, more cost-efficient, and with no disruption for business users.
We have developed a methodology to extract business logic from legacy ETL/ELT jobs and convert it into pure or enriched SQL. This logic can then run on modern platforms (GCP, Azure SQL, etc.), and {openAudit} reconstructs it within modern transformation tools such as dbt.
The step-by-step migration of ETL/ELT to SQL enables complex processes to be broken down into readable and maintainable SQL blocks. It provides clear control points and intermediate tables to better track and understand data flows.
Transformations from {openAudit} are converted into enriched SQL, executable on target platforms (GCP, Redshift, etc.) or integrated into tools like dbt. Orchestration (e.g., Airflow) enables dependency visualization and pipeline monitoring.
Traditional ETL relies on proprietary technologies that are difficult to evolve and poorly interoperable.
With {oa.tbx}, transformations are based on standard, open SQL, compatible with modern tools (dbt, Cloud
databases). Result:
a sustainable, modular ETL aligned with modern data architectures.
{openAudit}, by relying on the exceptional introspection capabilities of certain data visualization technologies, makes it possible to automate the process of “reconstruction” of the platform in the target technology: intelligence and layout.
{openAudit} will automatically recover all of the instructions that are passed into the DataViz technology at the source, at the intelligence or layout level.
{openAudit} reconstructs intelligence in a fully automated way based on the target technology: variables, expressions, etc. The structure of the initial dashboard is also reproduced in the target technology.
{oa-lake} acts as an orchestration layer between data systems and visualization tools. Based on a distributed SQL engine and Parquet storage, it centralizes business logic, reduces the load on source systems, and simplifies end-to-end data flow governance.
