Flezi NEXT – AI-Powered Mainframe Modernization

FPT’s Enterprise Modernization Technology (EMT) Solution, powered by Azure OpenAI, helps enterprises modernize legacy mainframe systems such as COBOL, JCL, PL/I, RPG, and Assembler into modern, cloud-native applications written in Java, Shell, and Python.

By integrating Generative AI and Microsoft Azure capabilities, EMT enables organizations to analyze, document, refactor, and migrate legacy applications with up to 30% faster transformation speed, 40% lower cost, and 50% reduced migration risk compared to traditional approaches.

With automated code discovery, AI-guided dependency analysis, data migration, and testing automation, EMT provides a faster, smarter, and safer modernization journey from mainframe to the cloud.

Type of User that Benefits

CIOs and IT Leaders – Seeking to reduce technical debt, cost, and risk in modernization programs. CTOs and Enterprise Architects – Looking for a scalable AI-powered modernization and re-architecture framework. Development and Migration Teams – Requiring automation for analysis, documentation, and testing. Cloud Transformation Specialists – Targeting seamless migration to Azure IaaS, PaaS, or SaaS with automation and intelligence.

Customer Pain Points Addressed

High maintenance costs and dependency on legacy skillsets – outdated systems require rare expertise and high support effort. Incomplete documentation and knowledge loss – decades-old systems lack updated references, increasing modernization risk. Complex interdependencies between programs, data, and batch jobs – manual analysis slows down modernization and increases error rates. High risk and uncertainty in large-scale migration – traditional methods lack automation, visibility, and consistency for cloud readiness.
