What is AWS Transform?
AWS Transform is an agentic AI-powered transformation service created to automate and accelerate the transformation of an organisation’s legacy software applications.
As software applications get older, they become more entrenched within an organisation. But these can be not only expensive to maintain, they can also make the whole architecture open to risk and slow to change.
Rather than take two-three years to manually engineer your large-scale modernisation project, AWS Transform can shave this down to a matter of months. This not only frees up your team to activate other projects faster, it can also benefit your bottom line through dramatically reduced licencing fees.
What AWS Transform does
AWS Transform uses specialised AI assistants to do the time-consuming parts of software modernisation automatically:
Acts as a digital detective
It scans thousands of files across an entire business to map out which software programmes talk to each other, highlighting hidden dependencies before anything is moved.
Translates and rewrites
It reads old, outdated programming languages and automatically translates them into modern, faster, and cheaper alternatives.
Creates safe moving waves
Instead of trying to move everything at once, putting the organisation at risk of major outages, AWS Transform groups systems into small, sensible “moving waves” based on business importance.
Keeps humans in the driver’s seat
The AI does not make any changes until they are checked. It prepares the new plans and updated code, presents them to your engineering team for review, and only proceeds once approved.
Organisations using AWS Transform have not only seen a faster cloud migration process, but also accelerated application modernisation, and an ongoing reduction in tech debt. AWS reports that Transform customers have transformed and tested 250,000-line mainframe applications in six weeks, a task that previously would have taken years.
