The Convergence:
DMS for Certainty +
Gen AI for Speed
Most engagements combine two or three. Every engagement is scoped to what your system actually needs.
Built on decades of compiler
engineering, now powered by AI
DMS combines proven symbolic AI with modern Gen AI delivering precise transformations with smarter understanding.
Built per project
Your languages, dialects, databases, and target stack combine in ways nobody else's do. We configure DMS for your exact system. We don't shoehorn your code into a generic converter.
Automation you can measure
Translates run the full codebase in CPU hours. Deterministic translations hit 100%. What can't be deterministically converted is flagged for engineer review.
Output you can ship
What comes out is idiomatic and maintainable from day one. No ongoing license fee. Your team extends it from the handover.
Rewriting with AI alone is not the answer
Three reasons AI only modernization fails on systems your size.
Time still wins
A 5 million line system still needs 2+ years with AI in the loop. Token limits and context resets break the flow. Every output gets hand-validated. The calendar slips.
The business rules are lost
Decades of logic sit inside your code. The people who wrote it have retired. AI can guess at intent. But it can't guarantee what comes out is what was running.
Silent failures
LLMs hallucinate. The code they produce compiles and looks idiomatic. It also hides logic errors and security holes nobody can catch by reviewing 5 million lines.
How we beat the alternatives
vs. Rewrite from scratch
Five years for them. Nine months for us. They lose your business rules. We keep all of them.
vs. AI-only translation
They guess. We prove. They hide bugs in code that looks fine. We show you every change, line by line.
vs. Lift-and-shift to cloud
Same old code, new cloud bill. Nothing actually modernized. We change the code, not just where it runs.
vs. Big SI rebuild
50 people for three years. Or 6 of our engineers for one. Hourly rates that never stop, or one fixed price.
Five phases.
No surprises.
Find out if your system is a good fit for automated modernization. Throughout the project, your team works directly with the architects and engineers who built and operate DMS.
Many of our projects have been
on technologies nobody else supports.
If your stack is here, we've worked with it. If it isn't, we'll quote you on adding the front-end. We do this regularly.
Systems that cannot fail. Modernized anyway.
A few engagements we can talk about publicly.
Built For Critical Software In Demanding Domains
If your software is difficult to replace and carries real business or safety risk, you are the type of organization Modernize Software serves.
