Legacy Systems Transformed – AI Makes It Simple
Legacy modernization is essential for businesses to stay competitive, but it often comes with high costs and complexity. By leveraging OutSystems AI-powered tools and the OutSystems platform, organizations can rapidly transform legacy applications into modern, scalable, and high-performing solutions. Our approach significantly accelerates the modernization process, reduces costs, and minimizes risks—ensuring a seamless transition to future-ready systems.
Legacy Modernization with AI-Powered Accelerators and OutSystems
The Challenge
Legacy modernization is an essential but challenging process. Overcoming these challenges requires a thoughtful
strategy,
strong technical expertise, and a focus on long-term sustainability. By carefully managing the risks and
challenges associated with legacy modernization through AI-driven analysis, and use of modern development
platforms together with our partnership with OutSystems — organizations can successfully navigate this transition.
Here are some of the key challenges organizations face when modernizing legacy systems:
Challenge: Modernization projects can take months or years, with pressure to accelerate changes for competitiveness, balancing speed and quality is the key.
Challenge: Finding skilled developers for legacy technologies is challenging, creating a talent gap that may require retraining or hiring costly experts.
Challenge: During modernization, organizations must fix legacy security flaws and ensure the new system meets current security and compliance standards.
Challenge: Tackling technical debt often requires extensive code refactoring, which can be time-consuming and costly, especially when the full scope of the debt is not clear defined.
Our 4-step Modernization Framework
Analyse
-
This step evaluates the complexity of the migration, analyzing the required structure, duration, and effort
involved. It generates a detailed migration report that guides the project vision and outlines the OutSystems
building blocks, ensuring a clear and informed approach to the migration process.
Our 'Code Analysis as a Service' leverages AI to perform legacy code analysis to help businesses decode their legacy code intelligently.
Rebuild
This step auto-generates a translation model to identify source code and forms for migration, converts legacy data, and integrates it into OutSystems. OutSystems Mentor speeds development by automating tasks, code reviews, and security checks, ensuring fast, secure, and error-free deployments. Combined with test automation, this ensures the app is rebuilt with precision and of high quality.
Run
This step leverages the power of a cloud-native platform that ensures scalability, flexibility, and reliability for your applications. OutSystems ODC enables rapid deployment, continuous integration, and easy management of all your applications seamlessly.
Maintain & Scale
In this step, we utilize the OutSystems Developer Cloud (ODC) app analytics dashboard to monitor app performance, usage, and errors. Our expert OutSystems Managed Services ensure that your app portfolio continues to evolve and scale effectively.
