Every cloud migration, platform consolidation, M&A due diligence or compliance audit eventually runs into the same wall: nobody can say with confidence what the legacy system actually does. Investigation alone can consume 30-40% of a modernisation budget before a single line of new code ships – and the few people who still hold that knowledge in their heads are retiring or moving on.
At this session, Harshad Nawathe, and Veda Kanala, Solution Consultants at Sahaj, will share a practitioner’s perspective on transforming the black box into a trustworthy, board-ready asset – grounded in Sahaj’s recent work on a 10,000+ file legacy Java platform that had accumulated years of undocumented decisions for a large FinTech corporation.
Compressing months of discovery into weeks – reliably: This is an open discussion, not a lecture. We’ll explore what matters to any leader weighing a modernisation, migration or consolidation decision. AI promises to accelerate this, but most attempts produce documentation that reads well and is simply wrong. We will dive into how a properly engineered multi layer Agentic Pipeline produces a living & queryable knowledge base, giving leadership a decision-ready backlog for modernisation within weeks not months.
The insight underpinning all of it: the question for any leader isn’t whether AI can accelerate discovery – it’s whether you can trust what it tells you enough to bet the roadmap, the budget, and the board update on it.
