Sunshine
Organizations today generate and consume data at an unprecedented scale. lobal data volumes are growing exponentially, and the velocity at which diverse datasets are produced far outpaces what legacy data warehouses and on-premises systems were built to handle. Traditional on-prem systems, analytics platforms like SAS, and legacy ETL tools like SSIS and Alteryx while once reliable, now create bottlenecks, siloed data estates, mounting technical debt, and rising operational costs.
This growing gap between data demand and infrastructure capability is making data modernization a cornerstone of every digital transformation initiative. Modern platforms like MS Fabric offer a unified, end-to-end analytics experience, combining data integration, enterprise storage on OneLake, AI models, real-time analytics, and centralized governance within a single managed SaaS platform.
However, migrating from legacy environments to these modern platforms is often complex, resource-intensive, and unpredictable, and that's exactly the problem Sunshine solves.
Sunshine, LTM's proprietary data modernization accelerator, takes the complexity out of this journey, transforming what traditionally takes months into weeks through an automation-first, AI-powered approach that delivers predictable, cost-effective outcomes.
Our Framework
Sunshine provides end-to-end automation in migration from on-premises to Azure, right from pre-migration strategy to post-migration optimization.
Helping You Outcreate Data Modernization
From discovery to post-migration governance, Sunshine Accelerator's suite of 18+ purpose-built utilities automates every phase of your modernization journey, reducing timelines, cutting costs, and ensuring zero-compromise migration quality.
