Full migration business case — SSIS TCO vs Snowflake TCO vs migration investment.
Migrating from the current SSIS platform to Snowflake reduces annual platform spend from $— to $— — a permanent, recurring saving of $— per year.
The one-time migration investment is $— in conversion CapEx, plus a $— parallel-run cost during the —-month go-live window — total outlay $—, fully recovered within — of go-live.
Over a five-year horizon this represents a net return of $— on the migration outlay — equivalent to a —% annualised IRR. Every month the current platform remains in production is $— in avoidable cost.

| Programme overhead multiplier — Manual | ×1.65 on conversion cost | Analysis & Discovery 5% + System Test 20% + Data Migration 10% + Target Platform Setup 5% + Deployment/Docs/Parallel/Post 15% = 55% overhead → total multiplier 1.65× | ⚠ Benchmark |

| Migration cost formula — Manual | (S×2 + M×3.5 + C×5) × 8hrs × rate × 1.65 | Conversion days × hours/day × blended rate × programme overhead multiplier. S=Simple, M=Medium, C=Complex package counts. | ✓ Calculated |

The credit estimator uses a two-part model: a base credit rate (warehouse size × hours × days × auto-suspend) and a package workload multiplier that scales credit consumption to reflect the actual ETL load driven by your package estate.

| Auto-suspend efficiency options | 1 min≈95% · 5 min≈90% · 10 min≈80% · 30 min≈70% | Snowflake best practice. Auto-suspend prevents idle credit consumption. 5-min is recommended default per Snowflake documentation. | ⚠ Estimated |
| Package workload weight — Simple | ×1 per package | Simple packages (flat-file loads, basic transforms) generate minimal Snowflake query volume and short warehouse runtime. | ⚠ Benchmark |
| Package workload weight — Medium | ×2 per package | Medium packages (multi-source joins, SCD Type 2) generate moderate query volume and longer warehouse sessions. | ⚠ Benchmark |
| Package workload weight — Complex | ×4 per package | Complex packages (Snowpark UDFs, CDC, dynamic SQL) generate significant compute demand — larger data volumes, longer transactions, higher concurrency. | ⚠ Benchmark |
| Annual Snowflake TCO formula | Compute + Storage + Support | Compute = Total credits × credit price. Storage = TB × $23 × 12. Support = (Compute + Storage) × support tier %. | ✓ Calculated |
The Estate Inventory on the Current SSIS tab accepts a total package count and a complexity mix preset. The mix is applied as a percentage split to derive Simple, Medium, and Complex counts, which flow automatically into the Migration sizing table.
| Mix Preset | Simple / Medium / Complex % | Typical Use Case | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Typical Mixed | 50% / 35% / 15% | Default for most enterprise SSIS estates. Majority are basic loads; a third require moderate engineering; a minority are highly complex. | ⚠ Benchmark |
| Mostly Simple | 70% / 20% / 10% | Estates dominated by flat-file loads and basic SQL — common in data warehouse ingestion layers with limited transformation logic. | ⚠ Benchmark |
| Medium-Heavy | 30% / 50% / 20% | Estates with significant join/lookup/SCD logic — typical in ODS or staging layers with rich transformation requirements. | ⚠ Benchmark |
| Complex-Heavy | 20% / 40% / 40% | High-complexity estates — common where SSIS was used as a general-purpose orchestration engine with extensive Script Tasks, custom assemblies, or CDC. | ⚠ Benchmark |
| Standard Enterprise | 60% / 30% / 10% | Clean enterprise estate with disciplined development standards. Higher simple ratio reflects well-governed, modular package design. | ⚠ Benchmark |
| Split formula | nSimple = round(total × pS); nMedium = round(total × pM); nComplex = total − nSimple − nMedium | Remainder assigned to Complex so the three counts always sum exactly to the entered total. | ✓ Calculated |
| Metric | Formula / Value | Notes | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Annual saving | SSIS Annual TCO − Snowflake Annual TCO | Permanent recurring saving from day 1 of go-live. Negative if Snowflake costs more than current SSIS. | ✓ Calculated |
| Go-live duration | Auto-calculated from package estate (simulatable on ROI page) | Suggested on Migration tab based on package counts, team size, and overhead. Slider on ROI Results page lets users simulate 1–24 months. Affects parallel-run cost, Year-1 saving proration, and break-even. | ✓ Calculated |
| Parallel run utilisation | 50% each platform | Progressive workload migration — not a hard cutover. As packages move to Snowflake, SSIS load reduces proportionally. 50% is the midpoint of a linear ramp. | ⚠ Benchmark |
| Break-even basis | Total outlay (CapEx + parallel run) ÷ annual saving × 12 | Break-even is measured from go-live date. Total outlay includes both migration CapEx and the parallel-run cost incurred during the go-live window. | ✓ Standard |
| Year-1 saving proration | Annual saving × (12 − go-live months) ÷ 12 | Snowflake savings only accrue after go-live. A 6-month go-live = 50% of full-year saving in Year 1. A 3-month go-live = 75%. | ✓ Standard |
| 5-year cumulative saving | Year-1 saving + Annual saving × 4 | Years 2–5 accrue 100% of annual saving. Year 1 is prorated. No inflation or discount rate applied — nominal figures. | ✓ Calculated |
| IRR approximation | (Cum5yr ÷ CapEx)^(1/5) − 1 | Simplified annualised return — not a true IRR (which requires discounted cash flows). Use for directional comparison only. | ⚠ Approximation |
During migration, both the existing SSIS platform and the new Snowflake environment run simultaneously for the go-live duration (configurable in Migration tab, default 6 months). Neither platform is at full load — workloads are progressively cut over — so each side is modelled at 50% utilisation.
| Assumption | Value | Rationale | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Go-live window | Auto-calculated · simulatable (ROI page slider) | Derived from package estate on the Migration tab (see Section J). Simulation slider on ROI Results page allows 1–24 month scenarios. Longer migrations increase parallel-run cost and delay break-even. | ✓ Calculated |
| Utilisation factor (each platform) | 50% | Assumes progressive workload migration. As packages move to Snowflake, SSIS load reduces proportionally. 50% is the midpoint of a linear ramp. | ⚠ Benchmark |
| SSIS platform cost basis | Current SSIS Annual TCO ÷ 12 | Uses the live TCO figure from Tab ① (licences + infrastructure + support). | ✓ Calculated |
| Snowflake platform cost basis | Target Snowflake Annual TCO ÷ 12 | Uses the live TCO figure from Tab ② (credits + storage + support). Warehouse is provisioned from day one of parallel run. | ✓ Calculated |
The Migration tab automatically suggests a realistic go-live duration based on your package estate. Separate estimates are provided for Manual migration and DataVolve-accelerated migration. The ROI Results page slider lets you override and simulate any scenario.
| Parameter | Value | Rationale | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Team size assumption | 3–10 developers (scales with estate) | Scales by total package count: <100 pkgs = 3 devs · 100–299 = 4 · 300–599 = 5 · 600–999 = 7 · 1000+ = 10. Reflects industry practice of adding resource for larger programmes. The chip on the Migration page shows the active team size. | ⚠ Benchmark |
| Programme overhead multiplier | 1.5× | Covers non-conversion effort: project management, infrastructure setup, UAT, parallel-run co-ordination, documentation, and hypercare. Applied on top of raw conversion days. | ⚠ Benchmark |
| Working days per month | 21.7 days (4.33 wks × 5 days) | Standard business calendar. Does not account for holidays or leave — apply a 10–15% buffer for large programmes. | ✓ Standard |
| DataVolve efficiency saving | 35% reduction on conversion days | DataVolve AI automates 80–90% of standard data-flow conversion and 20–40% of Script Task conversion. 35% is the conservative blended rate applied to total conversion days. | ⚠ Benchmark |
| Minimum go-live floor | 2 months | Even trivial estates require time for environment setup, UAT, cutover rehearsal, and hypercare. 2 months is a practical minimum regardless of conversion effort. | ✓ Standard |
| Go-live ceiling | No hard cap — scales with estate | Team size scales upward for larger estates so the formula stays proportional. The ROI simulation slider covers 1–36 months. If the result seems too high, increase team size or consider phased delivery. | ⚠ Guideline |
| Simulation range (ROI page slider) | 1–24 months | Users can override the suggested duration on the ROI Results page to test optimistic/pessimistic scenarios. The go-live simulation chart shows Year-1 net savings across all durations simultaneously. | ✓ Configurable |
