Moving beyond migration: AI-driven application modernization at scale

As enterprises modernize complex legacy platforms, speed, precision and governance have become critical to successful transformation. Traditional migration programs are often slowed by manual planning, fragmented execution and lengthy validation cycles.

This whitepaper by HCLTech and explores how can reshape application modernization through an AI-driven lifecycle approach. By embedding intelligence across design, migration, testing and optimization, HCLTech enables teams to execute large-scale content migration with greater consistency, traceability and control.

Using a Drupal 7 to Drupal 10 business document migration as a reference, the paper demonstrates how Amazon Q Developer supported rapid migration design, iterative development, automated validation and continuous performance tuning—helping deliver production-ready outcomes in weeks instead of months.
