The Stakes: Growing Threats, Limited Visibility

Decades-old COBOL applications needed modernisation to support digital banking expansion. Manual refactoring was slow, error-prone, and caused compliance delays.

Why Our Platform Was Chosen

Applied Generative AI to automate code translation, detection of dead code, and documentation creation—during legacy extraction, refactoring, and testing.

Implementation in Action

Onboarding & Discovery: All assets identified and categorised in 3 weeks.
Automation Set-up: Critical vulnerabilities auto-assigned to IT owners with SLA timers.
Risk-Based Prioritisation: Focus shifted from “patch everything” to “patch what matters most.”
Executive Alignment: Weekly metrics briefings enabled leadership to track real ROI.

Outcome Snapshot

Within 6 months:

Modernisation timeline shortened by 45%, from months to weeks.
Operational cost slashed by 35% across end-to-end modernization.
Defect rate reduced by 40%, thanks to AI-driven error detection.
Improved compliance with automatically generated documentation—critical for audit readiness.
└ Based on GenAI-powered modernisation benchmarks and case examples

Client Perspective

“We now have the visibility and prioritisation we were missing. We’ve moved from reactive firefighting to proactive defence — and our leadership finally sees measurable progress.”
— Director of Information Security
