Most modernization approaches start with code conversion and hope understanding follows. altitude80 inverts the order: recover the business logic first, hold it as a working model, and generate what comes next from it.
The Modernization Workbench runs that lifecycle end to end. Discovery reads your systems and returns rules, terminology, processes, and data in business language. Analysis and design shape that model. Realization generates and tests what the business actually approved.
Nothing in the model floats free. A business term knows its processes and rules; a rule knows its terms, its data, and the program it lives in. That connectedness is what makes the recovered understanding auditable, and what lets your team change logic with confidence.

Understanding is not the end of the journey. A program's recovered logic becomes its user story and acceptance criteria, ready for the Reimagine and Realize phases. The same rules Discovery extracted become the tests the new build must pass.

10 capabilities that differentiate our platform from traditional modernization approaches.
Single platform spanning discovery, analysis, design, and generation. No IDE required.
Provides field-level visibility into data flows through application programs and operations performed on that data.
Terminology, entity models, and process mappings BEFORE technical work begins.
Ability to identify both business and technical rules in the legacy systems and document the source in natural language with business terminology.
Allow the user to add, update and/or delete rules throughout the modernization process. These changes can be made throughout the modernization process and are immediately updated in the target architecture.
Provides test strategy, plans, and cases based on business processes and rules discovered, analyzed, and further developed.
Custom dictionary maps your specific business language to technical implementations.
Release in phases, not big bang. Reduce risk while showing continuous progress.
Let our team of experts handle execution while you focus on business outcomes.
Not a one-time project. Continuous insight and improvement as your systems evolve.
From initial discovery to full application reimagination, we meet you where you are.
Map your entire landscape
Capture what systems really do
Translate code to understanding
Architect with full knowledge
Incrementally deliver with confidence
Seven capabilities spanning preparation, discovery, design, generation, and testing.

Less than half the time. Less than half the cost. Read in full, not in samples.
Legacy modernization has always struggled to justify itself, not because the potential wasn't there, but because discovery consumed the budget before value could be proven. AI changes that equation, and the returns follow: new products, new services, new markets.
Discovery cuts the time to a validated understanding of a legacy application by more than half against traditional manual analysis, with comparable reductions in cost. Understanding stops being the phase that consumes the modernization budget before modernization starts, and strategy and execution can run in parallel.
Discovery analyzes the whole codebase, not a sample. Business rules trace back to the source that produced them, so the output stands up as evidence, supporting regulatory examinations, audit and compliance obligations, model and rate documentation, and the system-of-record questions that regulated industries have to answer on demand.
