Systems integrators
Firms that lead mainframe modernization programs and need reliable application understanding before committing to architecture and migration plans.
Delivery Partners
Bring application evidence to your modernization practice
Code Comprehend is designed to help systems integrators and consulting firms pair source-linked mainframe application understanding with their delivery expertise. You lead the program. We provide the evidence.
Who This Is For
Firms that lead mainframe modernization for their clients
Consulting and advisory firms
Teams that assess mainframe estates, shape modernization strategy, and need source-linked evidence to support recommendations.
Specialist mainframe practices
Practices focused on COBOL, CICS, IMS, DB2, and batch environments that want to accelerate application analysis for their clients.
How We Work Together
Clear roles, one shared understanding
Code Comprehend does not compete for delivery work. We supply the application evidence that lets your team plan and execute with greater confidence.
Code Comprehend contributes
- Source-linked business rules, capabilities, and application behavior
- Dependency, data-flow, and batch-flow evidence across programs, jobs, and data stores
- Reviewable findings and modernization candidates for SME validation
- Private SaaS deployment in the client's cloud tenant with client-approved AI models
- Direct access to the founding team during engagements
Delivery partners lead
- Client relationship, program strategy, and commercial engagement
- Target architecture, implementation design, and technology selection
- Migration, integration, testing, and delivery execution
- Change management, training, and enterprise rollout
- Ongoing operations and managed services
Shared Evidence
Artifacts both teams work from
Enterprise architects, client SMEs, and your delivery team review the same source-linked findings, so scope, sequencing, and risk discussions start from a common baseline.
Application baseline
A source-linked inventory of programs, jobs, data stores, interfaces, and the business capabilities they support.
Business rule catalog
Extracted rules and decision logic with references back to the code that implements them, ready for SME review.
Dependency and data-flow maps
How programs, batch flows, and data stores connect, so scope boundaries and sequencing decisions rest on evidence.
Validated findings log
Findings reviewed and confirmed or corrected by client SMEs, giving both teams a common, defensible understanding.
