Your legacy systems are holding you hostage.
Seventy percent of your IT budget disappears into maintaining systems built before the internet. The three people who understand that COBOL code are all retiring within five years. Every modernization attempt has failed—killed by complexity, cost, or fear.
You've been told escape is impossible. That the risk is too high. That you should just keep the lights on and hope nothing breaks.
That was true. Until now.
AI has fundamentally changed the economics of legacy modernization. What took years now takes months. What was impossible is now achievable. The escape velocity you couldn't reach with human effort alone is finally within grasp.
In this book, you'll discover:
- Why AI-powered code analysis can understand your legacy systems faster than your best engineers
- How to capture critical knowledge from retiring experts before they walk out the door
- The four migration patterns—and how AI accelerates each one by 3-5x
- Practical workflows using Claude Code and GitHub Copilot for code transformation
- How to generate comprehensive test suites that prove your new system works
- Data migration strategies that don't lose a single record
- The parallel path approach that eliminates cutover risk
- How to actually decommission systems (not just "replace" them while they keep running)
- Building permanent modernization capability so you never get trapped again
This book is for you if:
- You're a CIO, CTO, or technology leader responsible for legacy systems
- You've tried modernization before and failed
- Your best people are approaching retirement
- You're spending more on maintenance than innovation
- You're ready to finally break free
Shane Larson has led digital transformation initiatives at Fortune 500 companies for over two decades. He's seen what works, what fails, and what's changed now that AI is part of the toolkit.
The legacy trap has held enterprises hostage for decades. The tools to escape now exist. The patterns are proven. The path is clear.
The only question is whether you'll walk it.
