| 45 | +## Overview |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +As customers consider **modernizing their data warehouse systems**, one of the critical blockers they face is translating their SQL code written and optimized for their current system to be optimized for the new system they want to migrate to. |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | +Organizations worldwide want to modernize their analytics platform to enjoy both TCO and innovation benefits. However, customers have invested thousands of working hours, millions of dollars, and written tens of thousands of lines of code for their data warehouse. |
| 50 | +To translate this critical SQL code, customers have to **either manually rewrite existing SQL code or invest large amounts of their budget for an outside practice to rewrite or convert their code**. That’s why we are investing in tolling to help accelerate the migration process without upfront cost. |
| 51 | + |
| 52 | +**Azure Synapse Pathway (ASP)** helps you upgrade to a modern cloud data warehouse platform by automating the code translation of your existing data warehouse to fast track your migration to Azure Synapse Analytics. |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +  |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | +ASP translates Data Definition Language (DDL) and Data Manipulation Language (DML) statements into T-SQL compliant language that is compatible with Azure Synapse SQL. |
