The Integrated Data Repository (IDR) — CMS's high-volume enterprise data warehouse containing Medicare, Medicaid, CHIP, and associated reference data — is slated to complete the migration to the cloud by November 17, 2023.

The IDR Cloud provides users with new features, better functionality, and more flexibility than ever.

During the migration, IDR Teradata and IDR Cloud Snowflake environments have been running in parallel for almost a year. This means that you have been able to run queries on data in either environment with the same results.

But with the migration deadline rapidly approaching, it's important that you start planning your team's move today. To learn more about the IDR migration, capabilities, benefits, and important migration steps to know, check out the following one-pagers and articles:
