Reigniting The Modernization Revolution: Announcing AveriSource Platform 3.0 & New GenAI Solutions

Modernization – Must Do Better?

The benefits of a renewed, modernized application infrastructure are the justifiable ambitions of many IT leaders. An ordered, cost-efficient, fully understood, and adequately staffed library of well-defined applications and interfaces, ready to support future business needs in an instant. This is the lofty goal, but which is often some distance from the reality faced today. Instead, despite efforts to modernize, IT leaders continue to struggle due to highly complex application sets, limited expertise, and the extremely manual effort of the tasks involved. The industry report card for application modernization does not make for happy reading. Against this backdrop, while it is no surprise that analysts report that many organizations will continue to invest in modernization programs, other studies reveal that a worryingly high proportion of such efforts fail – at least the first time around. 

What if there was a way to streamline means of determining the steps involved, of automating complex tasks, of illuminating application information easily, to provide the insights needed for accurate modernization execution? 

Your experienced, expert assistant is here!

These were the challenges defined as the basis for the new, ground-breaking release of the AveriSource Platform™ 3.0. In short, how do we simplify, streamline and support the complex task of application modernization? 

AveriSource Platform 3.0 – released in November 2024 – is a transformative modernization solution that aims to accurately accelerate manual modernization tasks, leveraging the game-changing power of Generative AI (GenAI) capabilities. Powered by Averi™, the new GenAI assistant for the AveriSource Platform, this latest version enhances key modernization tasks such as application analysis, documentation generation, and user story creation, enabling organizations to automate complex processes with speed and simplicity.

Make light of complex Modernization tasks

The enhanced GenAI Support with Averi - AveriSource’s new GenAI assistant - provides a significant leap forward in automation in what have typically been laborious, error-strewn manual modernization activities. Users can now automate essential tasks such as:

  • User story creation
  • System analysis
  • Documentation generation

This enhancement allows teams to work more efficiently and focus on strategic goals, while Averi handles repetitive tasks, reducing the manual effort required for modernization projects.

Leveraging Averi’s advanced GenAI capabilities, users can now automatically generate detailed Assessment Reports that provide a comprehensive overview of legacy codebases. These reports include valuable insights on architecture, dependencies, and areas in need of improvement. This feature is perfect for organizations looking to evaluate their current systems and plan effectively for modernization (available in AveriSource Discover).

Averi takes the complexity out of generating comprehensive Business Requirements Documents (BRDs). By analyzing legacy code, Averi automatically generates documentation that defines logic and business requirements. This streamlines the transition from system analysis to actionable requirements, ensuring your modernization project aligns perfectly with business goals (available in AveriSource Analyze).

The right model for your business

There are some important considerations for how any GenAI solution (and its underlying LLM works) is provided. AveriSource has architected this release, and the Averi GenAI facility, with the flexibility to support our customers’ situations. 

AveriSource Platform 3.0 integrates seamlessly with Amazon Bedrock, enabling users with cloud infrastructure access to leverage advanced large language model (LLM) capabilities for enhanced documentation and code analysis. 

For customers with strict data residency or regulatory requirements, AveriSource now offers the ability to run Meta Llama 3.1 in an on-premises environment. This integration ensures that organizations can take advantage of powerful GenAI tools while maintaining full control over their data security and compliance.

Furthermore, the AveriSource Transform module has received key updates to improve integration, automation, and compatibility for generated code. These Streamlined Code Execution enhancements simplify the path from code generation to deployment, reducing the time and effort required to move from development to production.
