The Complete
Modernization Platform
Four battle-tested engines that cover every phase of enterprise legacy modernization — from first line of discovery to last byte in production. Weeks, not years.
Core Platform
Three Engines. One End-to-End Journey.
Legacy modernization fails when you treat it as a one-shot rewrite. IONATE breaks it into three validated phases — each a distinct product, together a complete platform.
Accelerate to Weeks
MIRA Codex Studio puts the same battle-tested engines into an agentic self-serve platform. Agents run every phase autonomously. You validate and approve each step via the platform — no prompts required, no hallucinations, no training on your data.

Industry Heuristics
We've Seen Your Stack Before
Legacy modernization looks different by industry — but the underlying problem is always the same: 40 years of business logic locked in platforms no one wants to touch. We've solved it across every major vertical.
| Industry | Typical Legacy Stack | Common Pain | With Ionate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Banking & Capital Markets |
COBOL / CICS / JCL DB2 on z/OS |
$300M+/yr mainframe licensing. 3-week change cycles. Talent drought — COBOL developers retiring. | Microservices on AWS/Azure. 72h deployment cycles. 40% infra cost reduction within 12 months. |
| Insurance | ADABAS Natural / COBOL Policy admin on AS/400 |
Policy changes take 6–18 months. Actuarial system risk. Can't integrate with modern InsurTech APIs. | Real-time policy engine. 100% business rule parity. 3-month delivery with full InsurTech API layer. |
| Government | JCL Batch / VSAM COBOL + CICS mainframe |
FISMA / CISA modernization mandates. Zero cloud capability. Vendor lock-in on aging hardware. | FedRAMP-ready containerized workloads. Full audit trail. Zero-downtime cutover with parallel run validation. |
| Healthcare | COBOL / Oracle Forms IBM BPM / WebSphere |
Claims adjudication bottlenecks. HIPAA risk on end-of-life infrastructure. HL7 integration failures. | Cloud-native claims engine. HIPAA-compliant architecture. 94%+ automated test coverage. HL7 FHIR APIs. |
| Retail & Supply Chain |
AS/400 (IBM i) / RPG Visual Basic / Delphi |
Real-time inventory impossible. Seasonal scale failures. E-commerce integration blocked by legacy APIs. | API-first commerce platform. Elastic cloud scaling. Kafka-driven real-time inventory across all channels. |
| Telecom | Oracle ADF / BPM WebSphere / OSS/BSS stacks |
BSS/OSS silos causing revenue leakage. Billing latency. 18-month time-to-market for new products. | Microservices BSS. Real-time billing engine. New product launch in 6 weeks instead of 18 months. |

Why Not the Alternatives?
There are four paths to modernization. Only two of them actually get you there.

| Who does the work | Ionate + AI engines | Autonomous agents | Vendor + your team | Your team, years | Your developers |
| Cost model | Fixed-scope engagement | Pay-as-you-go (UoW) | CapEx + license | Very high CapEx | SaaS + dev effort |
Lift & Shift leaves business logic in legacy — you moved the problem, not solved it. Manual rewrite works but takes years and loses institutional knowledge. AI tools are assistants, not platforms — they see snippets, not estates.
