TCS Launches Agentic AI-Powered Platform to Help Enterprises Modernise Legacy Systems
TCS MasterCraft can save over 70% in costs and achieve results twice as fast as traditional interventions

Tata Consultancy Services has released the latest version of TCS MasterCraft™ augmented with GenAI and Agentic AI. This solution automates the process of modernising legacy applications, thereby significantly reducing the cost and time required for manual conversions.
The GenAI and Agentic AI enhancement will allow organisations to mine business logic faster and more accurately. The automation driven by the latest version of TCS MasterCraft can save over 70% in costs and achieve results twice as fast as traditional interventions.
TCS said one of North America’s largest banks has used the GenAI-powered TCS MasterCraft to transform its mainframe applications. TCS delivered 2X productivity savings during modernisation and 3X faster delivery than traditional approaches. A central knowledge repository was also created with 90% effort savings.
"As businesses undergo digital transformation, enterprises are reassessing their heritage environments, prioritizing integration with cloud platforms, and modernizing legacy applications. TCS’ comprehensive AI and automation suite, TCS MasterCraft, supports enterprises in modernizing mainframe applications, facilitating monolithic application re-architecting to microservices, and optimising mainframe workloads," Zachariah Chirayil, Practice Director, Everest Group, a market research firm, said.
TCS is also using the platform to migrate over 50 million lines of legacy COBOL code to Java, a modern language, for a global financial services major in the US.
“ Solutions commercially available to the enterprises currently make it expensive to deliver such modernisation programmes. We have leveraged GenAI and Agentic AI capabilities for extraction of business knowledge and conversion to augment this capability to deliver maintainable applications and data with a powerful design repository,” Ashvini Saxenaa , VP and Head, TCS Components Engineering Group and Digital Software and Solutions, said.
The Agentic AI augmentation brings together the vast TCS knowledge base, best practices and purposive agents to solve challenges that are unique to different types of complex modernisation programmes.
