Overview
Migrate Talend workflows to Microsoft Fabric with Sonata IntelliConvert, an automated, AI-led approach that unifies enterprise data and analytics on a governed, cloud-scale platform. Achieve up to 50% cost savings, faster insights, and compliance-by-design with an AI-ready data foundation.
Overview: Sonata IntelliConvert, co-developed with Microsoft, accelerates Talend-to-Microsoft Fabric modernization by automating discovery, mapping, conversion, and validation of existing Talend workloads.
Replace siloed, job-based ETL pipelines with a unified, AI-ready data platform while preserving critical data and business logic. Consolidate data integration, engineering, analytics, and governance on Microsoft Fabric to enable cloud-scale processing, faster insights, stronger governance, and AI-driven decision-making.
Challenges
- Batch-oriented Talend architectures can limit real-time and streaming use cases
- Java-based Talend Studio jobs require specialized skills to maintain and scale
- Multiple tools across Talend Studio, Data Fabric, Data Catalog, Data Quality, and MDM increase complexity
- Licensing, infrastructure, connectors, servers, and schedulers contribute to higher TCO
- Fragmented lineage and governance increase compliance and audit effort
- Limited embedded AI/GenAI capabilities can require custom development or third-party solutions
- Manual migration of jobs and business logic can increase effort, timelines, and risk
Key capabilities
- Automated discovery of Talend jobs, routes, contexts, metadata, and dependencies
- Intelligent mapping of Talend components to Microsoft Fabric-native services
- Automated conversion into Fabric pipelines, notebooks, Dataflows Gen2, and Lakehouse artifacts
- Built-in validation of data and business-logic parity before cutover
- Cloud-scale processing for high-volume and near-real-time workloads
- Enables self-service data integration and accelerated Agentic AI adoption
How it works
- Auto-discovery: Scans Talend jobs, routes, contexts, metadata, and dependencies across Talend projects.
- Smart mapping: Maps components such as tMap, tJoin, tFilterRow, and tFileInputDelimited to Fabric services including Dataflows Gen2, Data Pipelines, Spark notebooks, and Lakehouse.
- Automated conversion: Regenerates existing ETL logic and orchestration as native Fabric pipelines, notebooks, and Lakehouse artifacts, reducing manual redevelopment.
- Built-in validation: Verifies data outputs and business-logic parity between Talend jobs and converted Fabric assets before cutover.
