Mainframe modernization for regulated industries
The industries that still run on mainframes are the ones where getting it wrong is most expensive. Code Comprehend gives your teams the evidence they need to modernize safely.
Comprehend and Modernization Intelligence are in private beta. The outcomes below describe what an evaluation produces for your team to review and validate, not guaranteed results.
Solutions by industry
Where mainframe estates are largest and the cost of guesswork is highest
Financial Institutions & FinTech
Core banking, card payments, and settlement systems where one transaction touches dozens of hidden dependencies.
Common Challenges
- COBOL core banking and card-authorization estates
- Approval, fee, and settlement rules spread across programs and jobs
- Regulatory and examiner scrutiny of every change
- Mission-critical batch windows and 24/7 availability
Evaluation Outputs
- Evidence-backed inventory of programs, jobs, and data flows
- Payment and fee rules extracted and traceable to source for team validation
- Dependency maps that inform cutover sequencing
- Reviewable evidence trail to support governance and examiner questions
Insurance
Policy administration, claims, and underwriting systems carrying decades of product rules.
Common Challenges
- Policy and rating logic embedded in legacy programs
- Claims workflows spanning batch, CICS, and IMS
- Product variants accumulated over decades
- Loss of institutional knowledge as experts retire
Evaluation Outputs
- Underwriting and rating rules mapped to source for expert review
- Claims and policy data lineage across the analyzed estate
- Candidate service boundaries for product and policy capabilities
- Dependency context for sequencing around policy-year cycles
Government & Public Sector
Benefits, tax, and administrative systems where continuity of service is non-negotiable.
Common Challenges
- Decades-old COBOL and Assembler systems
- Strict security, privacy, and procurement requirements
- Limited modernization budgets and long cycles
- Public accountability for every outage
Evaluation Outputs
- Private SaaS deployed within the agency's own cloud tenant
- Reviewable documentation grounded in source evidence
- Prioritized modernization candidates for team review
- Evidence to support phased roadmaps aligned to budget cycles
Telecommunications
Billing, rating, and provisioning platforms that must keep running through every network generation.
Common Challenges
- Monolithic billing and rating engines
- Provisioning logic tied to legacy OSS/BSS
- Real-time subscriber and usage processing
- Release trains and maintenance windows that cannot slip
Evaluation Outputs
- Billing and rating rules extracted from legacy code with source references
- Dependency map across OSS/BSS integrations
- Candidate service boundaries supported by application evidence
- Dependency context for sequencing around release trains and maintenance windows
