VB6 to Modern Migration Without Breaking Business

People know the screens. Changing it sounds like risk. The truth is you can leave VB6 behind without big outages or long freezes. The key is to treat it as a careful series of small steps, not a giant rewrite.

From .NET Framework 4.x to .NET 8 while still shipping every week

Moving a live product off .NET Framework 4.x sounds like a release freeze waiting to happen. It does not have to be. You can land on .NET 8 and keep your Friday ship ritual. The trick is to treat the upgrade like running two lanes of traffic, not a single road closure.

Java 8 to Java 21 without a release freeze

A practical story about parity, confidence, and quiet wins. Most upgrade plans begin with a slide about new features. That is the wrong starting point. When you are moving a live product from Java 8 to Java 21, the first promise you must make is simple. The same inputs produce the same outputs, and customers never notice the change.

The Real Cost of Saying "It Still Works"

A CFO's guide to turning legacy burden into financial leverage. "Modernize" often sounds like big budgets and long timelines, so the safe answer becomes "not this quarter." The system keeps running. But "it still works" rarely means "it still pays."

GenAI Beyond Chatbots for Legacy Modernization

Discover how Generative AI transforms legacy system modernization beyond simple chatbot implementations. While most organizations focus on GenAI for customer-facing chatbots, the real transformation potential lies in applying these technologies to legacy system modernization and technical debt reduction.

Twin-Track Refactoring Without Breaking Flow

Master the art of parallel development to modernize systems while maintaining business continuity. Twin-track refactoring allows organizations to modernize legacy systems while keeping existing operations running smoothly.

Map 20 Years of Legacy in 2 Hours

Rapidly understand complex legacy systems using AI-powered analysis and visualization tools. Understanding decades-old legacy systems traditionally takes months of manual analysis. With modern AI-powered tools and systematic approaches, you can create comprehensive system maps in hours rather than months.

Code Archeology Field Guide

Master the art of excavating knowledge from legacy codebases and undocumented systems. Code archeology is the systematic process of understanding legacy systems by examining code artifacts, version history, and system behavior. Like archaeological excavation, it requires patience, methodology, and the right tools.

From Lift-and-Shift to Learn-and-Leap

Evolve beyond simple migration to intelligent modernization strategies that maximize business value. While lift-and-shift migrations offer quick cloud adoption, they often miss opportunities for transformation and optimization. The learn-and-leap approach combines systematic analysis with strategic modernization to achieve superior outcomes.

AI Detects Dead Code in Legacy Systems

Every mature system carries dead code. Endpoints no one calls. Flags no one toggles. Batch jobs that write a file and no one reads it. The cost is real. Bigger binaries, slower builds, attack surface, and more places for bugs to hide. The good news is you can detect dead code with high confidence using a mix of AI and simple signals, then remove it safely without drama.

Automate your application modernization process using AI and RPA

The rapid rise of Robotic Process Automation (RPA) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) in recent years has led to their widespread adoption for automating routine tasks by organizations worldwide. However, to achieve intelligent automation or hyperautomation, RPA must be combined with AI to enable human-like decision-making capabilities. Hyperautomation tools can transform business processes by making cognitive, data-driven decisions, which is why Gartner has identified hyperautomation as the top strategic technology trend of 2020.

CTO's guide to modernizing legacy systems

Over the past five years, a significant majority of organizations have taken strides towards executing digital transformation initiatives. However, despite this progress, only few of them have been able to achieve the desired outcomes. This highlights the challenges and complexities involved in digital transformation, and the need for a strategic approach that addresses the specific needs and goals of each organization.
