AI for Legacy Modernisation — Beyond the Code Translation Demos
AI-assisted legacy modernisation is being pitched as transformative. The reality is that AI accelerates parts of a modernisation programme that were never the bottleneck. The hard parts remain hard.
Modernization Frameworks for Legacy Systems
The 6R model has become the default vocabulary for legacy modernization, but the framework only describes the choices. Choosing well between them requires honesty about the system, the team, and the strategic context. A practitioner view of what each R actually costs in delivery.
Cloud-Native Enterprise Modernization
Cloud-native modernization is rarely a re-platforming exercise and almost never a wholesale rewrite. A practitioner framework for what actually changes — and a candid look at where cloud-native produces compounding value versus where the term has become marketing dust.
