Snowflake Data Platforms and Real-Time Migrations
Contivos moves enterprise data onto Snowflake and keeps it flowing, including real-time replication from mainframe and on-premises databases with Qlik Replicate.
We design the pipelines, models and governance that make Snowflake a trusted foundation for analytics and AI.
What We Do
Migration onto Snowflake
Planned moves from legacy warehouses and databases, with parallel running until the numbers tie.
Real-time replication
Continuous change data capture from DB2, SQL Server and other sources.
Data modelling
Models and warehouse structures built for the questions the business actually asks.
Analytics on Snowflake
Qlik and Power BI on top of Snowflake, with one trusted layer underneath.
Governance and security
Access control, masking and audit for sensitive data.
AI-ready data
Clean, governed data that AI applications and agents can safely use.

real-time replication with Qlik Replicate
Read the case:
The Challenge:
The lender needed to replicate DB2 data from its IBM i (iSeries) systems into Snowflake, and replace its existing change data capture tool before a hard contract expiry date.
Our Solution:
As the lender’s Qlik partner, Contivos led implementation support for the move to Qlik Replicate alongside Qlik professional services, migrating DB2 on IBM i to Snowflake with continuous change data capture.
What We Can Do Next
Where we’re taking this work, built on the same foundations.
AI on Snowflake data
Agents and assistants that answer questions from governed Snowflake data.
Warehouse consolidation
Retiring older warehouses and reporting databases onto one platform.
Cost and performance tuning
Keeping Snowflake fast and predictable as usage grows.
