Success Stories Empowering Ausgrid through a successful mass data migration

Empowering Ausgrid through a successful mass data migration

Fragmented systems. Manual processes. A legacy platform running out of runway.

Ausgrid is the largest electricity distributor on Australia's east coast by population served, delivering energy to 1.8 million customers across Sydney, the Central Coast and the Hunter region. Like many large organisations, Ausgrid had accumulated data across multiple platforms over many years. Their Synapse-based platform had reached the limits of what it could reliably deliver - performance was inconsistent, maintenance costs were growing, and the analytical capability the business needed simply was not there. The decision to migrate was made. The challenge was doing it without disrupting an organisation that could not afford downtime.

A structured migration.
Zero shortcuts.
Zero surprises.

One51 designed and executed a structured migration of Ausgrid's Synapse platform to Azure Databricks. This involved migrating billions of records, rebuilding data pipelines using our Composer and Lakebridge accelerators, and ensuring that every dataset was validated before cutover. The migration was phased to allow parallel running of the old and new environments throughout, giving the business confidence that the new platform was delivering before the old one was switched off. Weekly testing cadences and a clear incident response process meant that issues were caught and resolved in the test environment - not at go-live.
