Digishore, our AI-accelerated automation tool, helps transform legacy systems—without requiring legacy specialists or original documentation.

According to our 2025 CGI Voice of Our Clients research, 41% of executives say legacy systems pose a significant challenge to implementing their digital strategy. Beyond rising operating costs, organizations also face the risk of system obsolescence, inadequate time to market, and meeting regulatory requirements. Compounding the issue of poorly documented legacy applications is the difficulty of finding talent to maintain these applications.

Custom-built legacy systems once delivered a clear competitive edge, and their business logic remains essential today. However, many organizations now face a legacy challenge:

 

  • Outdated and hard to maintain technology
  • Incomplete documentation and the loss of experts with valuable system knowledge
  • Risky updates and mounting technical debt 
  • Limited compatibility with commodity SaaS solutions

Digishore accelerates modernization

  • Automated business logic discovery from source code
  • Generation of current-state design and functional architecture 
  • Smart redesign and code rewrite for today’s platforms
  • Full audit trails and documentation to deliver transparency and traceability
  • Flexible delivery options: Cloud, hybrid, or on-premises
