About

AWS Transform is an agentic AI service from Amazon Web Services that automates and accelerates the modernization of legacy workloads, specifically .NET, mainframe, and VMware environments. Built on AWS’s migration and modernization experience, it deploys specialized AI agents to carry out tasks like assessment, code analysis, dependency mapping, refactoring, decomposition, validation, and planning, many of which run in parallel, to speed up large-scale transformations. Through a shared workspace and natural-language chat interface, cross-functional teams can collaborate, track progress, and manage modernization projects from end to end. AWS claims AWS Transform can make .NET apps port up to 4 times faster, greatly speed VMware configuration conversion, and compress mainframe migration timelines (years down to months), while also helping reduce legacy licensing, infrastructure cost, and ongoing maintenance expenses.

About

eXplain is a specialized code-analysis and legacy-system evaluation tool from PKS Software GmbH, designed to deeply analyze, map, document, and assess legacy applications, especially on mainframe platforms such as IBM i (AS/400) and IBM Z, so organizations can understand what lives in their software, how it’s structured, and what parts are worth keeping, refactoring or retiring. It imports existing source code into an independent “eXplain server”, no need to install anything on the host system, then uses advanced parsers to examine languages like COBOL, PL/I, Assembler, Natural, RPG, JCL, and others, along with data about databases (Db2, Adabas, IMS), job-schedulers, transaction monitors, and more. eXplain builds a central repository that becomes a knowledge hub; from there, it generates cross-language dependency graphs, data-flow maps, interface analyses, clusterings of related modules, and detailed object-and-resource usage reports.
