Posted by London, UK – Mumbai, India: Indian IT services giant Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has released the latest version of its AI driven cognitive automation products TCS MasterCraft augmented with GenAI and Agentic AI. This solution automates the process of modernising legacy applications, thereby significantly reducing the cost and time required for manual conversions.
The GenAI and Agentic AI enhancement will allow organisations to mine business logic faster and more accurately. The automation driven by the latest version of TCS MasterCraft can save over 70% in costs and achieve results twice as fast as traditional interventions.
Enterprises that are on a digital transformation journey have a pressing need to overcome the challenge of large legacy applications and data, including growing technology debt, high maintenance costs, lack of subject matter experts and limited documentation. Most modernisation solutions focus on legacy conversions and are expensive for delivering complex programs.
In addition, converting an old application to a new technology could result in another outdated system and result in poor maintainability. A solution like TCS MasterCraft powered by GenAI and Agentic-AI reduces the risk of obsolescence and ensures sustainable success in the market.
One of North America’s largest banks have used the GenAI-powered TCS MasterCraft to transform its mainframe applications. TCS delivered 2X productivity savings during modernisation and 3X faster delivery than traditional approaches. A central knowledge repository was also created with 90% effort savings.
TCS is also using the latest Gen AI and Agentic AI-powered TCS MasterCraft to migrate over 50 million lines of legacy COBOL code to Java, a modern language, for a global financial services major in the US. Projects like these help enterprises accelerate their modernisation efforts, while creating a centralized, re-usable knowledge base of their applications.
“Enterprises have large applications in multiple technologies and architectures over decades. We’ve successfully delivered hundreds of complex modernisation programs using intelligent automation-driven technology conversion for years,” said Ashvini Saxena, VP and Head, TCS Components Engineering Group and Digital Software and Solutions.
“Solutions commercially available to the enterprises currently make it expensive to deliver such modernization programs. We have leveraged GenAI and Agentic AI capabilities for extraction of business knowledge and conversion to augment this capability to deliver maintainable applications and data with powerful design repository,” added Saxena.
Since 2012, TCS MasterCraft has been helping customers transform their legacy systems into modern, scalable, and cloud-native applications, ensuring that they can continuously evolve and keep up with changing business needs.
