Modernize

Plan How to Evolve It

AI-guided transformation roadmaps backed by evidence from your codebase. Move from understanding to action with clear migration strategies, effort estimates, and risk mitigation plans.

What Modernize Delivers

From discovery to execution—evidence-backed transformation planning that turns complex legacy estates into clear, actionable modernization roadmaps.

🔍

Discovery & Assessment

Analyze legacy estates to understand current state. Identify modernization candidates and assess complexity, risk, and business impact.

🎯

Target Architecture

Define cloud-native target states and migration patterns. Design microservices boundaries, API strategies, and data modernization approaches.

🗺️

Transformation Roadmap

Evidence-backed migration plans with sequencing, effort estimates, and risk mitigation strategies. Clear path from current to target state.

⚖️

Strategy Options

Support for refactor, replatform, rearchitect, or retire decisions. Compare approaches with cost-benefit analysis and risk assessment.

The Journey

From Current State to Cloud-Native Future

Start with Comprehend to understand your estate, then use Modernize to design and execute your transformation with confidence.

01

Analyze Current State

Comprehend extracts architecture, dependencies, and business context from your codebase. Understand complexity, risk, and modernization candidates.

Four Modernization Strategies

Choose the right approach for each application based on business value, technical complexity, and risk.

Refactor

Restructure existing code without changing behavior. Improve maintainability and prepare for cloud.

Replatform

Lift and shift with minimal changes. Move to cloud infrastructure while preserving core architecture.

Rearchitect

Redesign for cloud-native patterns. Break monoliths into microservices, adopt serverless, modernize data.

Retire

Decommission systems that are no longer needed. Reduce technical debt and maintenance costs.
