There are four common ways to move legacy warehouse logic: a manual rewrite, AI code assistants, a platform-native tool, or deterministic modernization software like Novuz. Here is who each one suits.
Market landscape
Four ways enterprises modernize today.
Each model fits different needs. Here is how they differ.
| Ongoing managed services | Project-based migration | Platform-native tools | Novuz, continuous modernization | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| How it works | Teams of people maintain and migrate systems over time | Consultancies scope and rewrite one estate at a time | Vendor tools translate SQL to their own platform | Software converts by rule and proves each object |
| Cost grows with | Headcount | Hours | Usually free; services separate | Fixed price per scope |
| Targets | Any | Any | One platform each | Five targets |
| What you keep | Stays with the team while the contract runs | Often leaves when the project ends | Converted files | Semantic model of the estate, kept for the next cycle |
| Proof | Tests the team chooses | Tests the team chooses | Varies by tool | Reconciliation report per object |
Options
What are the alternatives to Novuz?
The main alternatives are a manual rewrite, AI code assistants and platform-native tools from the target vendors.
| Option | How it converts | Proof per object | Pricing | Suits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Manual rewrite | Engineers by hand | Team-chosen tests | Time and materials | Small estates or redesigns |
| AI code assistants | Model suggestions, reviewed by engineers | No | Per seat plus engineer time | Teams speeding up their own rewrite |
| Platform-native tools | SQL translation to the vendor’s own platform | Varies by tool | Often free; services separate | Single-platform moves run in-house |
| Novuz | Deterministic rules plus the engineer-approved resolver | Yes, every object | Fixed price per scope | Estates of 1,500 objects or more that need proof and a fixed price |
