New Delhi [India], May 6: Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), a leading IT services company, has launched the latest version of its solution, ‘MasterCraft’, enhanced with GenAI and Agentic AI, to assist enterprises in modernizing their legacy systems. This AI-powered solution automates the process of modernizing legacy applications, significantly reducing both the cost and time typically associated with manual conversions.
The addition of GenAI and Agentic AI capabilities enables organizations to mine business logic more quickly and accurately, improving the efficiency of the modernization process. TCS claims that the latest version of MasterCraft can help companies save over 70% in costs and deliver results twice as fast compared to traditional methods.
As businesses undergo digital transformation, they often face challenges with outdated legacy applications and systems. These legacy systems, coupled with growing technology debt, high maintenance costs, limited subject matter expertise, and poor documentation, pose a major roadblock to modernizing IT infrastructures.
TCS points out that most existing modernization solutions focus on legacy conversions, but these are often expensive and can result in systems that quickly become outdated again. The MasterCraft solution, powered by GenAI and Agentic AI, addresses these issues by reducing the risk of obsolescence and ensuring sustainable, long-term success.
A significant example of the solution’s effectiveness is a project with one of North America’s largest banks, which used the GenAI-powered MasterCraft to modernize its mainframe applications. This transformation resulted in 2X productivity savings and a 3X faster delivery compared to traditional approaches.
Ashvini Saxena, VP and Head of TCS Components Engineering Group and Digital Software and Solutions, emphasized the importance of this breakthrough, stating, “Enterprises have large applications in multiple technologies and architectures spanning decades. We’ve successfully delivered hundreds of complex modernization programs using intelligent automation-driven technology conversion. With the addition of GenAI and Agentic AI capabilities, we’ve augmented our ability to deliver maintainable applications and data, supported by a powerful design repository.”
Since its launch in 2012, TCS MasterCraft has been helping organizations transform legacy systems into modern, efficient, and scalable solutions, driving digital transformation across industries.
