Sage Modernization Series

Dave Chappell Expert AI Engineer at Sage Tech AI provides a video series on how to use Sage to modernize your systems.

Modernizing Legacy Systems

In this first video of our series, I introduced Sage AI Technologies and our approach to legacy modernization, specifically focusing on a real-life analysis of a 48-year-old COBOL accounting system with 1.36 million lines of code.

I highlighted how our automated process can analyze 100% of your code base, preventing common pitfalls in modernization projects, which often fail due to a lack of understanding of existing systems.

The report we discussed includes 10 sections and 6 appendices, detailing everything from business rules to deployment automation.

I encourage you to explore the full report here and stay tuned for upcoming videos where we will dive deeper into specific sections and showcase a live demo of the migration process.

Live Demo - Transforming Legacy Systems: A Modernization Case Study

In this video, I walk you through the AI-driven legacy modernization process using our analysis of a 48-year-old COBOL accounting system, the Applewood Computing Accounting System (CAS), as a case study.

I demonstrate the live running code generated from this analysis, showcasing three containerized Python microservices with a modern web UI that replaces three separate legacy screens with a unified user journey.

Key improvements include real-time payment processing, automatic discount calculations, and the discovery of previously undocumented business rules. I encourage you to review the modernized report, which outlines these findings and serves as a structured deliverable for stakeholders at all levels.

Your feedback and insights will be invaluable as we iterate on this process.

Enhancing UI Storyboards with Human-in-the-Loop Refinement

In this video, I walk you through our human-in-the-loop refinement cycle using Sage AI Technologies' Cognitive Precompile.

I demonstrate how to edit a UI storyboard to improve the user experience, specifically changing the placement of the 'View GL Postings' button after a payment is posted.

After making this adjustment in the storyboard, I show how to regenerate the report and the UI based on those updates.

The workflow efficiently incorporates these changes, and I encourage you to explore this process in your own projects. Please consider applying similar refinements to enhance your UI designs.
