Reinsurer AI cuts legacy modernisation analysis and design by ~75%

The company acquired a book of business that was using a 20+ year-old Quote and Apply system built on a legacy Java/JSP codebase. The monolithic, tightly coupled architecture of the system made enhancements slow, costly, and difficult to scale. Front-end and back-end responsibilities were deeply intertwined, further complicating maintenance.

Before committing to a full rebuild, the organisation needed clarity: Was OutSystems the right platform? What complexity truly lay within the legacy system? And what would modernisation look like in scope, cost, and feasibility?

PhoenixDX delivered an AI-driven Proof of Concept (POC) to assess how efficiently the inherited legacy Quote & Apply system could be modernised in OutSystems. Using an AI-powered legacy modernisation accelerator, we analysed thousands of lines of legacy code to auto-generate a target system design and key components.

Our engineers then validated and refined the outputs to fast-track delivery with confidence. The project delivered in months what once took a year, driving substantial savings in time and cost. It also kick-started delivery, reducing time-to-value.
