Modernizing Legacy Systems: AI-Enhanced Cloud Adoption Frameworks

Fri, 25 April

By 2030, 80 percent of heritage financial services firms will either go out of business, become commoditized, or exist only in a formal sense without competing effectively, predicts Gartner. This session explores the integration of AI, specifically ChatGPT, into cloud adoption frameworks to modernize legacy systems. Learn how to leverage AWS Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF) 3.0, Microsoft Cloud Adoption Framework for Azure, and Google Cloud Adoption Framework to build cloud-native architectures that maximize scalability, flexibility, and security. This talk is designed for architects, technical leads, and senior IT professionals, providing actionable insights and strategies for successful digital transformation.

The session will focus on how cloud adoption frameworks are essential for accelerating digital business transformation. You'll explore the AWS Cloud Adoption Framework (CAF) 3.0, Microsoft Cloud Adoption Framework for Azure, and Google Cloud Adoption Framework, each of which provides key insights on building scalable, flexible, and secure cloud-native architectures.

Additionally, the strategic role of AI, particularly ChatGPT, in modernizing legacy systems will be discussed. You will learn how to leverage AI to navigate the complexities of transitioning from legacy systems to modern cloud-based architectures, with practical steps and case studies to help plan and execute a cloud adoption strategy effectively.

This talk will address the challenges of working with legacy systems, including incremental migration vs. full system rewrites. Attendees will learn the best path for their organizations, and through real-world examples, explore how successful organizations have revitalized their aging architectures, preserving value while embracing innovation.

Agenda:

  • Introduction: The importance of cloud adoption frameworks and AI in modernizing legacy systems.
  • Understanding Cloud Adoption Frameworks: Overview of AWS, Microsoft, and Google Cloud frameworks and their benefits.
  • Strategic Role of AI: How ChatGPT revolutionizes the modernization of legacy systems and integrates with cloud frameworks.
  • Steps for Moving Legacy Systems to the Cloud: Migrating legacy systems, ensuring compliance, security, and performance.
  • ChatGPT's Role in Legacy Analysis: Using AI for analyzing legacy code and aiding documentation.
  • Building Cloud-Native Architectures: Designing scalable, flexible, and secure cloud-native systems.
  • Case Studies: Successful examples of legacy modernization and lessons learned.
  • Practical Tips and Best Practices: Optimizing cloud migration and ensuring digital transformation success.
  • Conclusion and Q&A: Recap and discussion on the future of AI and cloud adoption in legacy modernization.

Target Audience: This session is primarily aimed at Enterprise Architects and Technical Leads, as they are responsible for steering legacy systems toward modernization and implementing cloud adoption strategies. DeepTech professionals are the secondary audience, as the session provides strategic insights into leveraging AI and cloud frameworks for digital transformation. OpsTech Professionals will also benefit from understanding the operational implications of transitioning to cloud-native architectures and integrating AI into legacy systems.
