Legacy Application Modernization
The talent and documentation risk that affects mainframe COBOL also applies to every other legacy platform covered by our application modernization services.
RPG developers on AS/400 systems, Oracle Forms specialists, VB6 developers, and Delphi engineers are all retiring on the same timeline — and the systems they built carry the same undocumented business logic risk.
Our legacy application modernization services cover the full enterprise legacy landscape:
• AS/400 / IBM i / RPG — manufacturing, distribution, mid-market finance, and government agencies running green-screen applications and batch-heavy job streams.
• Oracle Forms and Oracle Reports — federal and provincial agencies, utilities, and higher education running Oracle ERP customizations that vendor tools cannot automatically convert.
• Visual Basic 6 and Classic ASP — financial services, healthcare, and logistics systems built 1998–2008, now running on 32-bit COM infrastructure with security gaps no patch can close.
• Delphi / Object Pascal — healthcare, point-of-sale, and industrial systems architecturally constrained to thick-client Windows delivery with no path to web, mobile, or cloud without a rewrite.
AI-Assisted Application Modernization
The biggest risk in any mainframe modernization services program is not the technology — it is building the wrong thing because nobody fully understood what the old system did.
Our AI tooling reads the legacy source code directly: COBOL, RPG, PL/SQL, VB6, Object Pascal. It surfaces business rules embedded in procedure divisions, copybooks, CL programs, and database triggers — rules that were never written down and that no current staff member can fully articulate.
The output is a structured business specification that your business analysts validate, not a black-box migration artefact. Build decisions are made from that spec, not from assumptions about legacy behaviour.
AI-Assisted Documentation and
Business Specs Extraction
Most legacy codebases have one thing in common: the documentation is either gone, outdated, or was never written. What exists instead is decades of tribal knowledge distributed across a shrinking pool of people who are approaching retirement.
Our documentation service applies AI analysis to the source code itself — producing structured business specs, data flow maps, dependency diagrams, and plain-language descriptions of what each program and job stream actually does.
The output is reviewed and validated with your subject matter experts before any build decision. Clients use it as the foundation for modernization planning, vendor evaluation, internal knowledge transfer, and regulatory audit trails. COBOL modernization, RPG, PL/SQL, and VB6 codebases all supported.
Business Process Transformation
Legacy platforms were designed around the constraints of their era: batch jobs run overnight, reports printed and distributed next morning, data reconciled at month-end.
Those constraints no longer match what customers, partners, and regulators expect. Our mainframe modernization services redesign the underlying business processes alongside the technology — replacing batch cycles with event-driven workflows, file-transfer integrations with RESTful APIs, and manual reconciliation steps with automated validation.
The result is not a faster version of the same process: it is a redesigned process that real-time infrastructure can actually support. Typical outcomes include same-day settlement replacing next-day batch, customer self-service portals replacing manual request queues, and live dashboards replacing overnight report runs.
Digital Transformation
Green screens, 5250 terminals, Windows Forms applications from 2002, and Oracle Forms running inside Internet Explorer — these interfaces were designed for trained operators in a controlled environment.
They are not accessible to a modern workforce, cannot run on mobile devices, and block any self-service model. Our application modernization services replace these interfaces with modern web applications built on Blazor or React, designed from the ground up around how users actually work.
The new UI connects to the same business logic and data — validated for parity during a parallel run period — so go-live does not mean discovering surprises.
Accessibility compliance, mobile responsiveness, and integration with your identity provider (Entra ID / Active Directory) are built in from the start.
