Ataccama & Cognizant speed up data migration with ONE Bridge
Ataccama and Cognizant have launched ONE Bridge, an automation accelerator developed to help enterprises migrate from legacy data platforms up to 40% faster and with reduced risk.
Migration challenges
Managing data across legacy platforms frequently creates hurdles for organisations, with risks relating to accuracy, compliance and operational efficiency. As data often moves through disconnected and fragmented tools, teams struggle to maintain visibility and consistent oversight. This, in turn, makes regulatory and reporting requirements more difficult to meet.
Automation benefits
ONE Bridge addresses these issues by automating the most time-consuming elements of platform migration. Steps such as reading and translating data quality rules, transitioning workflows, and validating performance are all handled by the accelerator. According to the companies, this automation reduces the need for manual intervention by IT and data teams, shortening migrations that may previously have taken months.
The accelerator enables organisations to retain control of their data during the transition and lessens operational disruption. Improved accuracy and compliance are reported outcomes, potentially offering a smoother route for enterprises seeking to shift their data infrastructure to more modern systems.
Use case in financial services
A major US financial institution is already in the process of using ONE Bridge to update its regulatory reporting systems and retire legacy components. The project involves connecting over fifty distinct data sources and managing tens of thousands of data quality rules. Full visibility over data lineage and compliance is expected during the transition. On completion, the institution anticipates faster regulatory reporting cycles and a scalable data foundation, which will support future AI ambitions such as the training of large language models for business use.
Platform features
The migration ends with the transition to Ataccama ONE, which offers a unified environment that governs, improves and monitors data across the organisation. The platform covers areas including data quality, cataloguing, observability, governance, and lineage. It is designed to ensure the resulting data is accurate and explainable, supporting enterprise analytics and decision-making processes.
Industry perspectives
"Every enterprise wants to unlock the value of its data to move faster, but that's becoming harder to do. Too many organizations are still trapped by data management platforms that were never built for the pace of modern business. Replacing them is rarely simple. It takes time, expertise, and often more disruption than enterprise teams can absorb. ONE Bridge removes that friction and gives organizations a faster, safer path to migrate to a unified, agentic foundation for data trust. Once they're on Ataccama ONE, they can focus on using trusted data to drive decisions, innovation, and growth," said Jessica Goulart, Vice President of Partnerships, Ataccama.
Diptesh Singh, Global Offerings Lead - AI & Data at Cognizant, said, "We've spent decades helping organizations modernize complex data environments and implement AI platforms that deliver measurable business outcomes. ONE Bridge was built from that experience. It reflects our deep understanding of the last-mile challenges companies face when moving from legacy tools to modern data foundations. By combining Cognizant's implementation expertise with Ataccama's powerful, unified platform, we're helping clients, using Ataccama's solutions, accelerate transformation with lower risk, faster time-to-value, and data they can truly trust."
