AI-POWERED MAINFRAME MODERNIZATION
Strategy, Roadmap & the Future of COBOL
The question is no longer whether the mainframe should be modernized. The question is how we modernize it intelligently, safely and economically.
Mainframe modernization is no longer simply a technology decision. Enterprises must determine when to retain, refactor, API-enable, replatform, rewrite, or replace their critical COBOL applications.
In this flagship webinar, we explore how AI is changing the modernization lifecycle — from understanding decades of COBOL and extracting business knowledge to analyzing dependencies, recommending modernization strategies, assisting transformation, generating tests, and enabling continuous operations.
What We’ll Explore
The modern mainframe modernization challenge
Modernize vs. migrate vs. rewrite
The economics and risks of rewriting COBOL
Why traditional modernization approaches struggle
How AI changes the modernization lifecycle
What AI can actually do with COBOL
AI-powered business-rule and knowledge extraction
Dependency and impact analysis
AI-assisted transformation and testing
AI-powered modernization reference architecture
Building a practical modernization roadmap
How to identify what should be modernized first
From COBOL Code to a Modernization Decision
See how AI and automation work together across the modernization lifecycle.

The demonstration will showcase how a COBOL application can be analyzed, its business rules and dependencies understood, a modernization strategy recommended, and a selected component transformed and tested with AI assistance.
This is not simply a COBOL-to-Java demonstration.
It demonstrates how AI can help enterprises make smarter modernization decisions.
