Legacy & Modernization - A Glimpse

Legacy & Modernization: A Glimpse

This half‑day program explores the realities of modernizing inherited systems and the strategic decisions that shape their future.

After a brief welcome, John M. opens with a practical session showing how to use AI as an evidence-driven research partner: trace unfamiliar behavior, distinguish facts from inferences, expose dependencies and risks, and turn discoveries  into a prioritized modernization backlog. Leave with a repeatable method for making the  next change safer without pretending to understand every line of code.

Dr. Otto D. follows with The Art of the Rewrite, a deep dive into how rewriting a system goes far beyond changing languages, touching architecture, performance, data flow, and long‑term maintainability.

The event concludes with closing remarks that tie both sessions together, emphasizing modernization as a deliberate, informed, and forward‑looking practice.

Coffee and snacks will be provided.
