Modernize your

Mainframe on your terms
DISCOVER MORE
Mainframes have powered the world's economy for over 40 years, handling 80% of bank transactions and 90% of credit card transactions. This critical infrastructure has reached a tipping point where nobody really understands these systems anymore. It's time to capture this value and transform it into something that the next generation can use.

The Global Context Engine

LAYER 01
Tag
Tag

The Global Context Engine is the heart of Element. Based on a complete deterministic analysis of your codebase, we extract and analyze the System Infrastructure, Data Flows, Business Logic and other parameters as a foundation for the transformation. This knowledge is format agnostic and can be used for AI agents, maps, and other tools to unlock and Harness the knowledge in your system.

Artefact-Based Transformation

Tag
LAYER 02
Tag

The biggest advantage of having a holistic understanding of your mainframe is the ability to tackle a modular, less-risky, and more transparent approach to modernization. That gives you the ability to execute your modernization in small steps, and not one big leap that often fails.

Built-in Compliance & Auditability

LAYER 03
Tag
Tag

Every transformation step is deterministic, traceable, and fully documented. We generate audit-ready artefacts that capture how business logic, data flows, and system behaviour evolve. Organizations gain full transparency into what changed, why it changed, and how it impacts the system. No blind spots. No surprises. No uncontrolled risk.

Roadmap

AFTER 2 WEEKS

Assessment

Our platform uses the Global Context Engine to generate a central system context from legacy system, upon which all further modernization discussions are built.
Additionally we define a robust scope  for a Proof of Value on this.

AFTER 8 WEEKS

Proof of Value

The modernization of a subsystem guarantees the sustainable success of a comprehensive modernization and provides planning certainty. It also shows our quick time to value and gives you the ability to understand what your organization would look like after a modernization.

DEPENDING ON SCOPE

Artefact based modernization

Element transforms legacy systems module by module, with fixed scope and fixed pricing for each deliverable. There is no multi-year lock-in. Organizations purchase the artefacts they need, when they need them, and retain full ownership of the outputs.
