Legacy Migration
for Financial Institutions

THE CHALLENGE

Our Analysis Shows:
Traditional Migration Approaches Fail.

1. Legacy systems built on Oracle, DB/2, Access, and VBA are blocking innovation while maintenance costs keep rising. Shadow IT is spreading as business teams build their own Excel and Access workarounds to stay productive.
   
   
2. Modern use cases — like KYC automation, AI-driven workflows, and advanced analytics — can’t take off because the infrastructure is outdated. Day-to-day operations rely on slow, manual processes.
   
   
3. Meanwhile, regulatory pressure continues to grow. BCBS239, MaRisk, and BaFin requirements for data quality and aggregation demand modern system architectures. Compliance costs skyrocket as technical debt piles up.
   
   
4. And specialized resources for outdated technologies are disappearing. The window for migration is closing fast. Traditional projects take 3–5 years and millions of euros — with no guarantee of success.

KEY INSIGHT

Financial institutions spend €5–15 million on manual migrations of mid-sized system landscapes — often without achieving real modernization.

At the same time, shadow IT, compliance costs, and the lack of automation keep driving total expenses even higher, while modern AI use cases remain out of reach.

OUR APPROACH

AI-Driven Migration in Three Phases

Phase 1: Assessment & Strategy

• Comprehensive analysis of your legacy landscape
• Identification of critical dependencies and risks
• Development of a low-risk, high-impact migration plan
  
  

Phase 2: Documentation & AI Execution

Phase 3: Capability Building

• We empower your teams to maintain and evolve the modernized systems independently.
• Knowledge transfer and thorough documentation ensure sustainable success.

TECHNOLOGY DIFFERENTIATOR

As the first German partner of Cognition AI, we use Devin and Windsurf — AI agents that don’t just generate code but autonomously execute entire migrations.

A major advantage: Devin automatically documents your business logic as it works.
You retain the institutional knowledge that often lives only in the heads of long-tenured employees — before it’s lost forever through retirement.
