Programme context
Weatherbys modernised named racing and registration workflows using Power Platform and Dataverse, integrating with SAP, Dynamics 365, Oracle and SQL data through Azure API Management.
Why this matters: This record identifies a named Irish or UK organisation, a bounded predecessor state, a destination platform, an affected workload and a source-stated operational stage.
Migration timeline
| Date or stage | Milestone | What changed | Evidence status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Predecessor state | Legacy specialist systems | Core processes relied on niche-language systems and Oracle/SQL data. | Source stated |
| Modernisation | Power Platform applications deployed | Named racing and registration workflows moved to Power Apps, Pages, Automate and Dataverse. | Source stated |
| 27 February 2026 | Dated publication | Microsoft published the operational case. | Source stated |
Workload migration matrix
| Workload | Predecessor | Destination | Status by 27 Jul 2026 |
|---|---|---|---|
| racing administration, registrations, event processing, prize money and genetic-testing workflows | core legacy systems in niche languages with Oracle and SQL historical data | Power Apps, Power Pages, Power Automate, Dataverse and Azure API Management integrations | Operational for named systems |
Implementation and architecture
- Dataverse provides application data services.
- Azure API Management connects SAP, Dynamics 365, Oracle and SQL sources.
- Power Apps, Power Pages and Power Automate support the named workflows.
Known unknowns and contradictions
- The complete residual legacy inventory is not stated.
- Exact cutover dates for individual applications are not stated.
- The source does not claim complete replacement of all core systems.
No missing fact is inferred to broaden the source-supported platform-change claim.
PlatformTrace analysis
The dated source supports operational modernisation of named workflows and integrations. It does not establish retirement of the entire legacy estate.
Performance, cost, uptime and operational outcomes remain attributed source claims unless independently stated otherwise.
