AI Legacy Code Conversion

Elevator Pitch

Legacy Lift is an AI-powered tool that helps organizations modernize outdated code like COBOL by analyzing and converting it into secure, maintainable systems—without losing existing functionality.

Problem Description

Many critical enterprise systems still run on legacy software written in outdated languages such as COBOL. These systems are deeply embedded in industries such as finance, government, and enterprise infrastructure. 95% of ATM transactions in the U.S. are processed using COBOL-based systems, and over 60% of U.S. hospitals run critical applications on legacy software such as COBOL and Fortran (Pragmatic Coders, 1).
