Solutions / Legacy Application Modernization
Corticon Legacy Application Modernization Solution
Legacy applications have become the de facto repositories of business knowledge for many organizations – their "corporate memory". The problem with business logic coded in applications is that it is no longer understood and has become prohibitively difficult and expensive to maintain. Legacy applications now limit a firm's ability to effectively compete.

Corticon's Legacy Application Modernization solution transforms outdated systems by harvesting, validating and redeploying business knowledge and logic for use in new cutting edge applications. Accurately preserving embedded business rules and decisions during modernization is essential, and Corticon's patented "no coding" rules engine moves modernization efforts from "time- and labor-intensive" to "automatic" by:
- Identifying, extracting & documenting business rules currently invisible to stakeholders
- Using the business rules as a foundation for requirements discussions early in the project
- Tracing rules to their origin and identifying interdependencies
- Validating rules that apply to processes going forward, removing obsolete ones
Corticon equips business and IT users to collaborate on the most challenging aspects of modernization projects, providing immediate transparency into any legacy code with:
- Characterization – Works with over 100 languages to analyze the existing application.
- Knowledge Mining and Modeling - Reverse-engineers the legacy code to generate a detailed view of the application - process maps, flowcharts, data models and embedded business rules. Transforms the application data model and business rules into easily understood Corticon models for testing and execution.
- Modernization - Rules models to help development staff better maintain existing code, and utilize the fully executable models in redeveloped SOA based applications.
Corticon delivers dramatic increases in operational agility and up to 90% reduction in development and change cycles
- Extraction and re-automation of 90+% of legacy business rules
- Acceleration of change cycles from 6 months to 1 day.
- Reduction in application maintenance costs by 80%
