Is it safe to wrap old systems?

Yes. We use read-only replicas where possible and strict transaction management to ensure the modern layer never corrupts the legacy database.

Can you handle COBOL or Fortran?

Yes. We have specialized LLMs fine-tuned on legacy languages that can document, explain, and write interfaces for codebases written in the 80s and 90s.

What happens if the mainframe goes down?

Our wrapper layer includes caching and queuing. If the legacy backend blips, the modern app stays up, queuing user actions until the connection is restored.

Legacy System Modernization

Don't rewrite. Just reconnect.

Chat with Your Old Database

We add a secure AI layer over your 20-year-old ERP. You type 'Show sales by region' and the workflow drafts a chart and SQL for your review before any query runs.

Mainframe Crash Predictor

The workflow watches configured log signals on a schedule. When patterns look abnormal, it drafts an alert such as 'Possible storage failure on Server 3' for review before any change.

The 20-Year Leap

Skip the 2-year migration project. We wrap your legacy database in an AI layer today, so your modern mobile app can read live inventory through a controlled workflow with logging and review.

Our Process

From discovery to deployment in 4 simple steps.

System Mapping

We document your existing architecture and identify the safe integration points.

API Wrapping

We build a modern REST/GraphQL layer that talks to your old COBOL/SQL systems.

AI Integration

We connect modern AI agents to these new APIs to enable chat, search, and automation.

Incremental Migration

Once the wrapper is live, we can slowly replace the backend pieces one by one.

Technical Architecture

Built for developers, managed by AI.

Legacy Wrapper Pattern

@app.get("/api/v1/inventory")
def get_inventory():
    # AI translates JSON request to COBOL copybook
    legacy_query = ai_bridge.translate_to_mainframe(request)
    result = mainframe.execute(legacy_query)
    # Return clean JSON to modern frontend
    return jsonify(result)
