From Legacy Systems to the Frontier Firm with Agentic AI - Unlocking new Business Value

Application modernization remains one of the most complex challenges organizations face today, driven by technical debt, rising costs, and migration risks.

The event presents Cluster Reply’s AI-powered approach, built on the Microsoft ecosystem, designed to support organizational transformation and accelerate the transition to the Frontier Firm.

Participation is free, by invitation.

A day dedicated to Application Modernization

Plenary sessions, technical deep dives, and real-world case studies come together in a focused journey through the key pillars of application modernization.

The day opens with Microsoft's vision for modernization and the role of GitHub across the Software Development LifeCycle (SDLC).

We explore how organizations can evolve their applications by combining technology, organizational change, people, and AI agents. Discover how to overcome legacy constraints and accelerate the journey toward the Frontier Firm.

In the afternoon, participants can choose from three parallel tracks: an AI-driven end-to-end modernization experience; a governance-focused session addressing ROI, organizational transformation, and risk management; or a technical deep dive into AI-assisted database migration.

The day concludes with a recap of the key takeaways and next steps for building an effective modernization strategy, where people and AI agents work together to drive business growth.
