LEGACY MODERNIZATION

Modernize Legacy Estates 50% Faster With Claude in the Loop.

Refactor monoliths, retire mainframes, and migrate to cloud-native architectures using AI-led code analysis, test-first generation, and SLSA-attested production cutover.

Why Legacy Slows Everything

Legacy applications were not designed for the speed at which the business now needs to move. They block cloud migration, they hold security debt, and every new release costs more than the last. Replacing them is hard but staying on them is harder.

We modernize legacy estates with AI-led teams: Claude reads, analyses, refactors, and writes test suites at speeds that human-only teams cannot match. Your application stops being a tax on the roadmap and starts being a platform you can build on.

What We Modernize

Mainframe & Midrange

COBOL, RPG, PL/I to cloud-native Java, Python, or .NET.

Monolithic Enterprise Apps

Aging Frameworks

Struts, JSF, Silverlight, WebForms migrated to React, Angular, or modern Spring Boot

How Claude Accelerates Every Stage

  • Reads 100K+ lines of legacy code and produces an architecture grade summary in hours.
  • Generates unit and integration tests against legacy behavior before refactor begins test first, not test after.
  • Performs multi-file refactors with deterministic verification gates against the test suite and eval set.
  • Drafts documentation, ADRs, and ops run-books alongside the code change.
  • Integrates with your systems via MCP (Model Context Protocol) for standardized, audited tool access during refactor and validation.
Why You Can Trust the AI-Generated Code

Will Claude write broken code at scale?” is the right question. Our answer is a four-layer correctness model not human review alone.

  • Spec-driven inputs. Refactor prompts are built from your architecture docs, ADRs, and style guide not from open ended language.
  • Test-first generation. Behavioral tests are generated against the legacy system first, run green, then become the contract the new code must satisfy.
  • Deterministic verification gates. Static analysis, type-checks, dependency scans, and the regression suite gate every merge same gate as human-written code.
  • Eval-driven CI. A code quality eval suite runs in CI; regressions in correctness, security, or hallucination rate block merge.

Human review is the final layer not the only one. The result: AI-suggested code carries the same provenance, attestation, and quality bar as code written by hand.

Risk, Not Hope How We Carry the Cutover

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How is "AI driven digitalisation" different from regular digital transformation?

Traditional transformation projects staff problems with people. We pair AI-native engineers with Claude, Copilot, Cursor, and for repetitive scaffolding work – autonomous coding agents (Claude Code-class), working from structured specs and eval suites rather than ad-hoc prompts. Faster cycles, lower cost, and a path to AI in production, not just AI in pilots.

Four-part answer. (1) Spec-driven inputs: engineers prompt against curated specs – architecture docs, ADRs, style guides – not from memory. (2) Test-first generation: tests written against current behaviour before refactor; the AI must satisfy them. (3) Deterministic verification gates: static analysis, type-checks, dependency scans, and a regression suite gate every merge. (4) Eval suites for code quality: a behavioural eval set runs in CI and blocks merges that regress quality on representative tasks. Human review is the final layer, not the only one.

We use frontier models via enterprise-tier endpoints with zero-retention configuration and IP indemnity provisions flowed through from our model and tooling vendors (Anthropic, GitHub, Cursor) to our master services agreement with you. Every release ships with SBOM and SLSA-aligned attestation; provenance of AI-suggested code is logged and reviewable. Full IP and data-handling summary on every engagement at MSA stage – not as a separate appendix.

No. We use frontier models via private API endpoints with zero-retention configuration. Your code, data, and prompts are never used for model training. Self-hosted open-source options are available for the most sensitive workloads.

We deliver to AWS, Azure, and GCP – and we are honest about where each target creates lock-in. Managed services (Aurora, Azure SQL, BigQuery) are platform-coupled by design; we use them when the operational economics justify it and tell you so explicitly. For workloads where portability matters more than per-service convenience, we architect on open foundations (Postgres, Kubernetes, OpenTelemetry) so the exit path is engineered, not improvised.

Most engagements start with a paid scoping engagement – a structured diagnostic ending in a written assessment, target architecture, and fixed-fee proposal for the build. Pricing is shaped to the scope and outcome, not to a brochure tier. Enterprise and mid-market both supported.

Yes. We frequently augment in-house and offshore teams with AI-native pods, and we run knowledge-transfer sessions weekly so your team levels up with ours.
