The Market Reality
Legacy systems often hold businesses hostage. Business logic is hidden deep within COBOL routines, Java applets, or SQL stored procedures—code that was state-of-the-art in the early 2000s but is now a black box. Compounding the issue: the people who wrote this logic are retiring, and documentation is scarce.
The result? A knowledge gap that paralyzes modernization efforts. Executives want transformation, but no one can say with confidence what the system actually does.
The Cost of Lost Knowledge
This gap carries serious business risk:
- A compliance change may be impossible to implement quickly.
- A customer experience upgrade may break unknown dependencies.
- Modernization projects stall because teams are afraid to touch what they don't understand.
AI Agents as Knowledge Sherpas
This is where AI changes the game. Instead of treating legacy systems as impenetrable, AI Agents can:
- Explain logic hidden in SQL stored procedures and code modules.
- Map dependencies across sprawling systems.
- Document behavior automatically for business and IT teams.
- Guide modernization by proposing refactoring paths and clarifying risks.
In this model, modernization teams aren't starting blind—they're armed with context and clarity.
