This whitepaper outlines a structured, AI-driven approach to modernizing legacy COBOL systems by combining AWS Transform, Ascendion’s AAVA platform, and AWS Kiro into a unified pipeline. AWS Transform serves as the foundation, enabling large-scale code analysis, dependency mapping, and automated transformation, while AAVA extends this by generating architecture artifacts, SDLC documentation, and production-ready engineering outputs. AWS Kiro complements the process as a developer-centric execution layer, supporting specification-driven development and validation. Together, the model creates a scalable modernization workflow that bridges legacy systems to cloud-native architectures, improving speed, governance, and overall delivery outcomes.
