Amazon Web Services (AWS) has officially launched AWS Transform, a new AI-powered service designed to accelerate enterprise migration and modernization efforts. As AI and cloud adoption surge, 64% of enterprises will invest in AI in 2025, and 63% will speed up cloud migrations. AWS aims to eliminate the traditional roadblocks that have slowed innovation.
A Leap Forward with Agentic AI
AWS Transform uses agentic AI, a step beyond traditional automation, to manage complex tasks across infrastructure, code, and applications. It drastically reduces modernization timelines—from months to weeks, even days—and offers 4x faster transformation speeds.
Key Features Across Legacy Systems
- .NET Modernization: Moves Windows-based .NET apps to Linux with up to 40% licensing cost savings. Grupo Tress Internacional reported an 80% reduction in development effort using the .NET agent.
- Mainframe Migration: Transforms COBOL applications for cloud use, using Graph Neural Networks to break down monoliths and reassemble them with modern cloud architecture. Japan’s Nomura Research Institute saw a one-month analysis completed in just one week.
- VMware Optimization: Converts legacy network configurations to AWS equivalents 80x faster. SourceFuse achieved a 90% improvement in execution time.
Why It Matters Now
According to AWS, 75% of enterprise workloads still reside on-premises, and many Fortune 500 companies rely on software written over two decades ago. AWS Transform aims to change this by bringing AI-driven intelligence, automation, and scalability to the core of enterprise IT strategies.
With AI transforming business operations, AWS Transform offers a strategic advantage to enterprises ready to modernize quickly, securely, and efficiently. Enterprises can now plan their next growth phase with less risk, lower costs, and faster ROI.
