Technical debt remains a critical challenge, not just for systems housed in on-premises data centers, but also for older applications already residing in the cloud. The ReDuX AI-powered modernization platform provides the necessary tools to address this pervasive debt, accelerating the entire modernization lifecycle from deep understanding to rapid deployment.

The Problem: Pervasive Technical Debt

Technical debt is the accrued cost of non-optimal choices in system architecture, design, and coding, and it exists across all legacy environments. The fastest way to optimize these systems is to understand them. 

Whether the system is running on a mainframe or is a legacy application running in a cloud environment ready for a refresh, the debt persists:

• Undocumented Business Logic: Critical business rules are often buried deep within lines of code. 
• Fragile Architectures: These systems with fragile, difficult to update architecture prevent the adoption of modern, scalable cloud-native approaches such as those built using containers and microservices.
• Wasted Cloud Spend: Simply moving an inefficient monolithic system to the cloud (lift-and-shift) does not solve the debt. In fact, it often leads to over-provisioning and higher operational costs without gaining true cloud benefits.

The Solution: Rapid Discovery, Iterative Modernization

ReDuX is designed to minimize the time spent in the most costly phases of modernization: discovery, analysis, and testing. Its core strength lies in its AI-powered discovery tools which allow teams to understand complex legacy systems faster.

1. Accelerated Understanding and Problem Identification

ReDuX’s Blueprinting Agents perform deep structural and behavioral analysis. Modernization experts then use its Blueprint Lenses to visualize and analyze system insights.

• System Knowledge Extraction: ReDuX rapidly extracts and documents cited insights into the system’s architecture, data flows, and hidden business rules. This process bypasses months of manual effort, enabling teams to understand the system more quickly and identify technical debt problems more rapidly.
• Focus on Business Value: By providing complete transparency, ReDuX allows teams to prioritize which components need immediate attention based on business impact, rather than guesswork.

2. Rapid Solution Generation and Deployment

Once problems are identified and a modernization target is set, ReDuX utilizes Transformation Agents to accelerate the path to a modernized, optimized solution.

• Code Generation: AI agents generate high-quality, production-ready code in team member’s IDEs. This is suitable for modern architectures.
• Accelerated Testing: ReDuX’s approach ensures functional equivalence during conversion. The generated artifacts, combined with the detailed blueprints, enable teams to create robust test cases and validation scripts more quickly.
• Fast Deployment: Because the solution is based on cloud-native patterns and generated with built-in audit trails, teams can confidently complete migration, testing, and deployment processes more quickly, significantly reducing the Time to Implementation.
