TCS Launches GenAI and Agentic AI-Powered TCS MasterCraft to Help Enterprises Swiftly Modernize ...
Tata Consultancy Services a
leading global IT services, consulting, and business solutions organization,
has released the latest version of TCS MasterCraft™ augmented with GenAI and
Agentic AI. This solution automates the process of modernizing legacy
applications, thereby significantly reducing the cost and time required for
manual conversions. The GenAI and Agentic AI enhancement will allow
organizations to mine business logic faster and more accurately. The automation
driven by the latest version of TCS MasterCraft can save over 70% in costs and
achieve results twice as fast as traditional interventions.
Enterprises that are on a digital
transformation journey have a pressing need to overcome the challenge of large
legacy applications and data, including growing technology debt, high
maintenance costs, lack of subject matter experts and limited documentation.
Most modernization solutions focus on legacy conversions and are expensive for
delivering complex programs. In addition, converting an old application to a
new technology could result in another outdated system and result in poor
maintainability. A solution like TCS MasterCraft™ powered by GenAI and
Agentic-AI reduces the risk of obsolescence and ensures sustainable success in
the market.
One of North America’s largest
banks have used the GenAI-powered TCS MasterCraft to transform its mainframe
applications. TCS delivered 2X productivity savings during modernization and 3X
faster delivery than traditional approaches. A central knowledge repository was
also created with 90% effort savings. TCS is also using the latest Gen AI and
Agentic AI-powered TCS MasterCraft to migrate over 50 million lines of legacy
COBOL code to Java, a modern language, for a global financial services major in
the US. Projects like these help enterprises accelerate their modernization
efforts, while creating a centralized, re-usable knowledge base of their
applications.
Zachariah Chirayil, Practice
Director, Everest Group, a market research firm, said, "As businesses
undergo digital transformation, enterprises are reassessing their heritage
environments, prioritizing integration with cloud platforms, and modernizing
legacy applications. TCS’ comprehensive AI and automation suite, TCS
MasterCraft, supports enterprises in modernizing mainframe applications,
facilitating monolithic application rearchitecting to microservices, and optimizing
mainframe workloads. The company's extensive partnership network and deep
understanding of business requirements around mainframes enable the delivery of
hyper-personalized, industry-specific solutions. TCS' location-agnostic
operating model and organizational change management approach ensures smooth
transitions during mainframe modernization, while clients appreciate its
proficiency in both mainframe and cloud technologies.”
Ashvini Saxena, VP and Head, TCS
Components Engineering Group and Digital Software and Solutions said,
“Enterprises have large applications in multiple technologies and architectures
over decades. We’ve successfully delivered hundreds of complex modernization
programs using intelligent automation-driven technology conversion for years.
Solutions commercially available to the enterprises currently make it expensive
to deliver such modernization programs. We have leveraged GenAI and Agentic AI
capabilities for extraction of business knowledge and conversion to augment
this capability to deliver maintainable applications and data with powerful
design repository.”
Since 2012, TCS MasterCraft has
been helping customers transform their legacy systems into modern, scalable,
and cloud-native applications, ensuring that they can continuously evolve and
keep up with changing business needs. Over the last decade, the offering has
adapted to new technological advances and incorporated disruptive tech to offer
the best-in-class solutions to enterprises across industries. Now, a layer of
artificial intelligence boosts this automation-driven modernization solution.
The Agentic AI augmentation brings together the vast TCS knowledge base, best
practices and purposive agents to solve challenges that are unique to different
types of complex modernization programs.
This enhanced version will ensure
that new systems are resilient to future upgrades and changes. The new version
of TCS MasterCraft is part of TCS’ broader focus on enabling AI-led solutions
that can simplify and optimize complex business processes. Furthermore, TCS
MasterCraft’s intelligent automation allows human-in-the-loop decision-making
throughout the process. An integrated DevSecOps pipeline ensures continuous
delivery of end-to-end modernization. TCS is committed to adapting to the changes
that are shaping the industry and artificial intelligence is already driving a
significant number of business engagements. In Q4FY25 TCS had around 580
business engagements centered on AI. Further to that, TCS is prioritizing
