AI is not a single project or static strategy, it's a journey of transformation.
Many banks and insurance companies have aging legacy systems, which are inefficient and risky, built on outdated coding languages and subject to numerous patchwork fixes over time. Maintaining these systems has become increasingly expensive, with skilled talent harder to find and knowledge transfer remaining slow and costly.
Capco's Legacy Modernization Toolkit: Knowledge transformation engine, Automated legacy system refactoring and Microservices code factory.

Capco's toolkit comprises three elements:

Our Toolkit creates a refactoring blueprint for your legacy system - it ensures the target system is optimized, robust, easy to maintain, and aligned with modern architecture principles. It then executes against that blueprint, using generative AI to accelerate software development and generates code that meets your coding quality and security standards - while saving time and money.

How Capco can help

Capco leverages the power of GenAI to deliver tailored, flexible automation solutions that empower you to make informed decisions and modernize your legacy systems — quickly and cost-effectively.

  • Reverse engineering: Our knowledge transformation engine uses AI to rapidly analyze legacy code and create an up-to -date, accessible knowledge base.
  • Target state discovery: Our refactoring blueprint identifies the optimal microservices architecture, balancing performance and cost for legacy app modernization.
  • Forward engineering: Our code factory autogenerates code, unit tests, and design assets across the entire microservices collection, accelerating modernization while embedding your enterprise engineering standards directly into the code conversion process.

Success Story

Client challenge:

As part of executing a large-scale, enterprise-wide cloud migration program, a Tier 1 bank was looking for accelerators and techniques to prioritize legacy applications for migration to the cloud and to optimize the complex transformation process.

Capco's solution:

Our solution allowed the client to shorten time-to-market and fast-track their systems modernization, by automating planning activities, defining a unified taxonomy, and building a clear strategic roadmap.

Client outcomes achieved:

  • Reduced planning phase from six months to three weeks, with fewer SMEs required
  • Processed ~6,000 legacy COBOL programs, jointly containing 1.5 million lines of code
  • Labeled and mapped 40,000 mainframe database tables using business services labeling to aid migration
