Legacy migrations in large banks take years. Globant's AI technology cuts this to one third, future-proofing and giving it new competitive advantage.
Globant leverages AI Agents to transition from any legacy language - as COBOL- to any target one - as Java - understanding business needs, creating service prototypes, accelerated development, and upholding security and quality standards.
We use AI to thoroughly examine legacy systems, focusing on code metadata, dependencies, and business rules. This provides a comprehensive understanding of the system's architecture and structure, setting the stage for an effective modernization.
In less than 24 hours, we generate natural language descriptions of functional specifications and technical designs. This technology-agnostic brief captures the essential knowledge embedded in legacy source code, serving as a universal reference for translating the system into any programming language.
By leveraging our AI Agents, we ingest generated documentation to prototype service source code, significantly accelerating the development process. This approach enables us to speed up source code creation by over 80% compared to manual methods, saving substantial time and effort.
Service prototypes are imported into an accelerated IDE, where AI generates both frontend and backend code, defines data access strategies, and creates unit tests. This integration streamlines workflows and significantly boosts productivity.
We automate the deployment of services on the target platform by implementing a robust CI/CD pipeline. By automating these steps, we enhance deployment accuracy, reduce time-to-market, and maintain high standards of quality and reliability.
We perform test cases, regression tests, and UI testing to ensure the software's functionality, stability, and user experience meet quality standards. This phase helps catch bugs early and guarantees a smooth, reliable product for users.
We rearchitected over 11,600 lines of COBOL code in just 105 hours, compared to 560 hours with traditional methods—an efficiency boost of +80%.
