AI-Powered Transformation Across the Digital Modernisation Journey
Building smarter systems that adapt, learn, and scale with your business. Real examples, proven tools, and lessons from the field across multiple industries.
Executive Summary
Digital transformation today isn't just about cloud adoption or breaking monoliths. It's about building smarter systems that adapt, learn, and scale with your business. Having worked across multiple industries—from financial services to retail—we've seen firsthand how AI is now playing a key role across every layer of that journey.
Business Impact
30% cost savings, 50% incident reduction, 3-month timeline acceleration
AI Integration
Intelligent automation across 7 key transformation areas
Cross-Industry
Financial services, retail, healthcare, telecom, and supply chain
AI-Powered Transformation Areas
1. Application Modernisation
Intelligent codebase transformation and microservices architecture
Where AI Comes In
- Helps untangle monolithic codebases
- Suggests logical microservice splits
- Maps dependencies you didn't even know existed
- Auto-generates tests while you sip your coffee
Tools We Use
IBM Mono2Micro
Great for Java monoliths
GitHub Copilot / AWS CodeWhisperer / GPT-4
Accelerate refactoring and testing
Lightrun + GPT-based insights
Amazing for debugging live systems
Real Case: Major Bank Transformation
While working with a major bank, we used Mono2Micro to break down a legacy loan origination app. GPT-4 helped generate test cases from user stories and code comments. The team shaved 3 months off their modernisation timeline.
Agentic Layer
We had modular agents orchestrating each step—one scoped the code, another tested endpoints, and another validated the proposed services.
2. Cloud Migration & Platform Transformation
Intelligent migration strategies and cost optimization
Where AI Helps
- Flags what to rehost vs replatform
- Predicts your future cloud costs
- Suggests node group changes on the fly
- Helps you prioritise migration waves
Go-To Tools
Azure Migrate & AWS Migration Hub AI
Cloud migration assessment and planning
Cast AI
K8s tuning (it's saved us serious infra spend)
CloudFix
Catching cost leaks automatically
Story from the Field: Retail Client Migration
A retail client had over 100 workloads on-prem. AI tools guided us on which apps to containerise, which to lift-and-shift, and what to retire. Then Cast AI continuously tuned their EKS setup—netting a 30% savings in compute.
Agent Flow
We used agents to do impact analysis, plan rollouts, and monitor resource drift post-migration.
3. Data Intelligence & Streaming
Real-time analytics and predictive insights
Where AI Shines
- Detects weird patterns in live data
- Forecasts inventory, churn, or usage
- Cleans and labels data as it flows
Stack We Trust
Kafka + Flink + TensorFlow
Near real-time processing
Databricks + MLflow
Keep training and deploying fresh models
Amazon Lookout for Metrics
Spot anomalies fast
Client Impact: Supply Chain Platform
In one engagement, we helped a supply chain platform monitor 50K+ IoT devices. TensorFlow flagged machine failures in advance. Databricks handled demand forecasting. Downtime dropped. Operations smiled.
Agentic Layer
Agents handled drift detection, model refreshing, and feature extraction—without engineers getting paged.
4. DevOps & Automation
Intelligent CI/CD and incident management
AI's Role
- Spots flaky tests before you do
- Writes smart release notes
- Correlates alerts from 10 tools into one root cause
What We've Deployed
GitHub Copilot + Actions
Speeds up code + automates checks
Moogsoft / BigPanda
Perfect for incident correlation
Harness
Smart canary rollbacks
PagerDuty Intelligent Triage
Reduces alert fatigue
Example: SaaS Client Transformation
One SaaS client struggled with noisy alerting and slow releases. Copilot helped devs ship faster. Moogsoft grouped alerts and linked logs with metrics. Incidents dropped 50%.
MCP Angle
We wired AI models to share feedback loops. Test failures would influence linting rules. Alert patterns updated playbooks.
5. AI in Products & Experiences
Conversational interfaces and intelligent user experiences
Why It Matters
- Chatbots can replace 10% of your support tickets
- Smart search feels like magic
- AI dashboards tell stories, not just show charts
Toolset
LangChain + GPT-4
For conversational UX
Pinecone or Haystack
For semantic search
LLM Agents (ReAct)
For decision flows
Live Use Case: Fintech Client
A fintech we worked with embedded a GPT-powered chat in their app. Users could ask about balances, FX history, or raise disputes—via natural language. It became the #1 used feature in 3 months.
Agentic Design
One agent handled queries, another pulled from APIs, another summarised responses with context.
6. Security & Governance
Proactive threat detection and policy automation
Where AI Protects You
- Detects strange logins, API abuse, or privilege creep
- Suggests tighter IAM policies
- Flags risky behaviour before breaches happen
Battle-Tested Tools
Microsoft Sentinel, Darktrace, AWS GuardDuty
AI-powered security monitoring
OPA + ML-based policy training
Intelligent policy management
Field Insight: Healthcare Engagement
In a healthcare engagement, Darktrace flagged privilege escalation from a misconfigured role before it got exploited. The AI traced user behavior anomalies and network traversal patterns.
Agentic Setup
Agents reviewed logs, ran simulations, and tested sandbox policies before pushing to prod.
7. Observability & Self-Healing Systems
Predictive monitoring and automated remediation
Why AI Matters
- Predicts what's going to break—before it does
- Summarises logs so humans don't have to
- Auto-tunes dashboards and alerts
Stack That Works
Dynatrace Davis, Datadog Watchdog
AI-powered observability platforms
OpenTelemetry + GPT log summarisation
Intelligent log analysis
Vector DBs for alert root cause traceability
Context-aware incident management
Client Outcome: Telco Transformation
For a telco, we combined OpenTelemetry with a GPT summariser. It detected log patterns ahead of failure. Engineers received pre-incident insights, not just post-mortems.
MCP Coordination
Each layer of signal—logs, metrics, traces—fed into AI agents that learned and shared context across services.
Transformation Outcomes
Measurable results across industries and transformation areas
Average infrastructure cost reduction through AI-optimized cloud migration and resource management
Decrease in production incidents through intelligent monitoring and predictive analytics
Faster modernization delivery through AI-assisted code transformation and testing
Final Thoughts
The real power of AI in digital modernisation isn't just about automation. It's about augmentation. It's about building systems that don't just run—they learn.
Having seen this across domains, we truly believe the future belongs to intelligent, self-optimising platforms.
If you're modernising anything—from your code to your culture—AI isn't just a tool to consider. It's your biggest accelerator.
Let's build the future. Smarter.
