Legacy systems hold critical business functionality, but they can hinder innovation and agility. You need a clear path to modernize your applications to the architecture and user experience you truly desire, not just a basic lift-and-shift or simple facelift.
The Synchrony Systems Modernization Lifecycle Platform (MLP) is a powerful platform designed to manage, collaborate on, orchestrate, and accelerate complex application modernizations end-to-end. It provides complete visibility and control needed to transform your systems reliably, predictably, at speed and at scale.
Modernization always begins with understanding what you already have. MLP starts here, giving you the visibility, structure, and insight needed to make sense of even the most complex legacy codebases. Before anything is transformed, you get a clear picture of how your system actually works.
At the heart of MLP is a rich, interconnected model of your application. It doesn’t just parse grammar or syntax - it understands how your software behaves as a whole. It captures the relationships, structure, and semantics of the entire system, giving you a solid foundation for reliable, repeatable transformation into your chosen modern architecture.
MLP Analytics brings this model to life. You can browse packages, objects, functions, and references, follow relationships with no depth limits, and filter down to exactly the call sites or elements you need. It’s an intuitive way to explore how everything fits together.
Once you’re oriented, you can begin to make sense of the system’s structure. With MLP’s simple query DSL, you can define architecture components, analyze dependencies, and surface cross-cutting behaviors. You can view the application from different angles - subsystems, layers, shared services, or semantic patterns - to understand how it truly works.
As you dive deeper, MLP surfaces the insights that matter for modernization. You can spot platform dependencies, DLL access, or areas that need to be extracted into a modern architecture. Pin items to keep context, use the divider view to stay oriented, and drill down as far as needed without losing your place.
Modernization doesn’t succeed on automation alone - it succeeds when automation is controlled, predictable, and repeatable. MLP accelerates your transformation efforts by orchestrating every activity with precision, giving you a fast, reliable path from legacy systems to modern architectures without sacrificing functional fidelity.
MLP uses customizable, extensible workflows to orchestrate every modernization task. These workflows run automatically and unattended, surfacing events, dependencies, and progress along the way. This structured, repeatable approach ensures modernization is predictable, measurable, and far more efficient than ad-hoc or manual methods.
Modernization doesn’t require code freezes. MLP syncs with ongoing development so your system can continue evolving while the modernization effort progresses. This allows teams to keep delivering business value, even as legacy structures are transformed behind the scenes.
MLP uses rule-based transformations that operate on a rich semantic model of your application. This makes deep refactoring, decoupling, and architectural restructuring both consistent and accurate. When enterprises require 100% functional equivalence, MLP ensures transformations are repeatable and deterministic, avoiding the unpredictability of hallucination-prone LLMs.
MLP provides full visibility into how transformation progresses - what ran, what changed, what needs attention, and what comes next. By combining orchestration, validation, and metrics, teams gain confidence that each step is performed correctly and consistently, resulting in a controlled transformation process that delivers reliable outcomes.
Modernization works best when everyone has the same view of what’s happening. MLP creates a shared environment where engineers, architects, testers, and program managers can all track progress, understand impact, and participate in the transformation effort with full transparency.
MLP shows every activity as it happens - what ran, what changed, and what impact it had. Stakeholders get a clear, real-time view of progress with full traceability back to the underlying code, making it easy to understand the state of the project at any moment.
MLP includes built-in planning and tracking tools with customizable templates and integrations with GitHub, GitLab, AWS, Azure, and ADO. Live dashboards show metrics, timelines, burn-up and burn-down charts, issue status, and test results. Because issues and tests link directly to code artifacts, teams get true end-to-end traceability.
Teams can compare source code before and after transformation and preview updated user interfaces long before final delivery. This enables shift-left testing and faster feedback cycles, helping teams validate correctness and align expectations early in the modernization process.
MLP supports collaborative discovery sessions right inside the platform. Teams can discuss findings, define architectural components, explore system behavior, and make shared decisions using the same data and models - reducing ambiguity and improving alignment across all stakeholders.
MLP is designed to address today’s complex modernization challenges, ensuring not only functional equivalence on your chosen target but also enabling a complete transformation of monolithic host and client/server legacy architectures to modern target cloud microservices architectures and reactive web user experiences with microfrontends.
We don’t “magically create” anything; using model-driven, rule-based engineering, we automate analysis, extraction, refactoring, diagnostics generation, resolution, and complete transformation to your target technology and architecture of choice. Using our decades of experience, we bring unique value and deep technology to jump-start and accelerate your journey to the modern world with ease.
