MongoDB Rolls Out AI Platform to Modernise Legacy Systems Faster

NEW YORK, NY—September 18, 2025—MongoDB has launched MongoDB AMP, an AI-powered Application Modernisation Platform designed to help enterprises transform legacy applications into modern, scalable services at unprecedented speed.

MongoDB AMP combines an AI-driven software platform, a proven delivery framework, and dedicated delivery engineers to streamline modernisation. By leveraging MongoDB’s flexible document model and architecture for continuous change, the platform can accelerate code transformation by 10x and speed up modernization projects 2–3 times faster than traditional methods.

“Enterprises are increasingly grappling with the burden of complex legacy applications, constrained by rigid data foundations and outdated architectures that stifle innovation,” said Rachel Stephens, Research Director at RedMonk. “While traditionally recognised for its database capabilities, MongoDB’s strategic expansion into an AI-powered Application Modernization Platform highlights a critical understanding: the data layer remains an indispensable foundation for truly modern, scalable services.”

Legacy applications, though business-critical, are often costly, difficult to adapt, and prone to security risks. The Consortium for Information & Software Quality estimates technical debt in the U.S. costs nearly $4 trillion annually. Traditional modernisation approaches, often reliant on lengthy consulting engagements or “lift and shift” migrations, can stall without delivering transformative results.

“Research shows that too many organizations spend time and budget on low-value, high-effort work simply to keep the lights on—which impacts their ability to keep pace with competitors,” said Vinod Bagal, Senior Vice President, Modernization and Transformation at MongoDB. “MongoDB AMP offers enterprises a better approach to modernization. It helps companies move from traditional to transformative with remarkable speed and quality, opening doors to innovation and cost savings.”

MongoDB AMP builds on more than two years of collaboration with leading customers. Bendigo Bank cut migration time for a core banking system by 90%, while Lombard Odier achieved code migration 60x faster. IntellectAI, a global fintech, modernized critical wealth management systems, enabling richer insights and new generative AI use cases.

“At IntellectAI, we are redefining how enterprises unlock value with AI,” said Deepak Dastrala, CTO of IntellectAI. “Modernising with MongoDB has transformed how we deliver value to our customers, freeing us from bottlenecks and accelerating the realization of our AI vision.”

MongoDB AMP is now generally available.
