Modernize your legacy mainframe with Thoughtworks and Mechanical Orchard. Our behavior-driven, AI-powered approach rapidly unlocks business value on AWS—reducing risk, cost, and complexity. CodeConcise, our proprietary discovery tool, accelerates system understanding and enables targeted, incremental modernization, minimizing disruption and SME dependency.
Overview
Thoughtworks and Mechanical Orchard enable enterprises to modernize legacy mainframe systems with a behavior-driven, incremental approach powered by artificial intelligence and AWS. This solution addresses high costs, brittle architectures, and the scarcity of mainframe expertise while accelerating business innovation and reducing operational risk.
A key differentiator is the use of CodeConcise, Thoughtworks’ AI-powered discovery and intelligence tool that rapidly analyzes legacy codebases, maps business capabilities, and minimizes reliance on scarce subject-matter experts. By quickly decomposing monolithic systems, CodeConcise streamlines the delivery of targeted, incremental modernization ensuring focus and results from the earliest stages.
Rather than a one-size-fits-all migration, Thoughtworks and Mechanical Orchard retire obsolete components, replace commodity functions, and modernize only essential, differentiating capabilities. This strategy prioritizes value, enables faster release cycles, and reduces cost and disruption.
Sample engagement agenda:
• Minimum Viable Modernization assessment (if required) • Project kickoff (goals, milestones, risks, and mitigations) • Program inception and go/no-go disposition decision • Setup of delivery organization and target operating model • Implementation and management of the offloading roadmap • Iterative modernization and deployment of workloads to AWS • Continuous evaluation and enhancement of system capabilities • Regular demos, checkpoints, and planning updates
Client benefits and outcomes:
• Reduced dependency on proprietary mainframe vendors • Reference AWS cloud architecture for scale and agility • Modern engineering platform for rapid business delivery • Faster time-to-market for new products and innovations • Improved recruitment and upskilling on modern technologies • Adaptive operations model for sustainable change
During this engagement Thoughtworks will advise you on AWS products and services such as: AWS Transform for Mainframe, Thoughtworks' CodeConcise, the Mechanical Orchard AI-driven modernization platform, and a suite of AWS services for the target application stack, including: AWS CodeCommit/CodeBuild/CodeDeploy, Amazon EC2, Amazon S3, AWS Lambda, AWS Step Functions, Amazon RDS, AWS CloudWatch, AWS IAM, and AWS KMS.
This offering delivers rapid, measurable value with minimum business disruption and predictable, auditable outcomes.
