Brownfield AI Modernization
Choose rewrite, strangler, encapsulation, AI-assisted migration — or deliberate non-change.
What is the right modernisation strategy — and where does AI actually help?
Modernisation fails when the strategy is chosen by fashion. This lab weighs the real options for an existing system and decides where AI genuinely helps versus where it adds risk.
A working lab
A working lab for engineering leaders and their teams — you draw the boundary between what AI generates and what humans decide, then verify it against real code and real constraints.
- Assess the estate and its constraints
- Weigh rewrite / strangler / encapsulate / migrate / leave
- Decide where AI assists safely
- Record the strategy and the rejected alternatives
An explicit decision boundary
You leave with a modernisation decision record: a chosen strategy and the alternatives you rejected.
Every ADAAS session ends the same way: a decision, the rationale behind it, and an artifact your organisation can act on and defend.
Who should be in the room
Architects, modernisation leads and engineering leaders.
