AWS Transform automates BI dashboard migration from Tableau and Power BI to QuickSight in days instead of months
AWS Transform now uses AI agents powered by Amazon Bedrock and AgentCore to automate BI dashboard migration from Tableau and Power BI to Amazon QuickSight. A process that previously took months is reduced to days, with automatic transfer of calculated fields, visualizations, and analytics logic.
What is AWS Transform and what does it do?
AWS Transform is a modernization platform for enterprise IT systems, powered by specialized AI agents. The platform’s newest capability automates the migration of BI (business intelligence) dashboards — visual reports and analytics tools — from legacy solutions like Tableau and Power BI to Amazon QuickSight, Amazon’s serverless BI service.
Until now, such a migration required manually remapping hundreds of calculated fields, filters, and visualizations — a task that could easily take months. AWS Transform reduces this to days.
How does AWS Transform automate migration?
The process takes place in two phases. In the analysis phase, the agent extracts metadata from existing dashboards and generates a report showing what is ready for transfer and to what extent. In the conversion phase, the agent automatically reconstructs datasets, calculated fields, visualizations, filters, and parameters within QuickSight.
Behind it all is Amazon Bedrock AgentCore — a secure execution environment that manages agent operations and credential storage. All migration artifacts and reports are stored in Amazon S3 and remain within the customer’s AWS account.
Who develops the agents and where are they available?
Four specialized agents — one Analyzer and one Converter each for Tableau and Power BI — are developed by Wavicle Data Solutions, an AWS Advanced Consulting Partner. They are available on AWS Marketplace. Each agent operates exclusively within the customer’s infrastructure, meaning that data never leaves their environment.
