Modernization at Vivify is model-driven and 90%+ automated. Instead of rewriting your system by hand, we model what it does and generate the modern equivalent, carrying your business logic across by construction and proving the result behaves like the original.
Roughly 74% of legacy modernization projects fail, and they fail on the same question: how does anyone know the new system still does what the old one did. We answer it three ways, and they are independent of each other.
Your application is parsed into a structured model of its screens, data and business rules, and the modern system is generated from that model. The logic is carried across structurally. Nobody re-types it, and no language model infers what it was meant to do, so it cannot be quietly mistranslated.
The modernized system and the original are run against the same inputs and their results compared automatically. Automation libraries are built from your own test plans, so the comparison covers the behavior your business actually depends on rather than a generic suite.
Because the model captures the business rules themselves, they give a second, independent way to verify the result. This works here for a specific reason: the rules are parsed out of the source deterministically, not written down by a model reading the code, so checking against them is not circular.
Build it so it cannot be wrong, then prove it is not wrong, twice over.
Code Analyzer ingests your legacy source: screens, navigation, data access, and embedded business rules. From that we build a complete, structured model of how the application actually behaves. This is automated analysis, not a team reading code line by line.
Code Transformer maps the model onto a modern TypeScript / React architecture and generates the new application automatically. 90%+ of the work is automated. For the rest, the custom pieces no generator can produce, our engineers work with AI assistance to move faster. Your business logic travels through the model. Where the old code is incomplete or unclear, AI helps fill the gaps, and we verify the result against the original system.
You receive a responsive, maintainable application your own team can read, run, and extend on current frameworks. Because the output is standard code with no lock-in, you are free to take it anywhere, including hosting and maintaining it entirely yourselves.
The transformation itself is model-driven, not generated by a language model. Your business logic is parsed into a structured model and carried across deterministically, which is exactly why it cannot be quietly mistranslated. That distinction matters: a language model reading legacy code is inferring what it was meant to do, and a confident wrong inference is the failure mode that sinks modernization projects.
We use AI where it genuinely helps. The custom pieces no generator can produce, building test coverage quickly, and filling gaps where the original code is incomplete or unclear. Every one of those results is verified against the original system before it ships.
A modernized system has to prove it behaves like the original. Share your test plans, or even outlines of them, and we build automation libraries for the tests that exist today and prepare for the ones that will exist tomorrow. AI helps us build that coverage quickly and keep it thorough.
A hand rewrite re-implements years of business logic from scratch and hopes nothing is lost. Model-driven transformation carries that logic through automatically, so behavior is preserved instead of reconstructed.
Automating the bulk of the conversion compresses timelines from years to a fraction of that, with far less variance, because you are not waiting on someone to hand-code every screen.
The deliverable is standard TypeScript / React, or Vue and similar frameworks where your standards call for it. There is no Vivify runtime sitting under your application and no license you must keep paying to run your own software.
This is not a lab technique. The same approach has modernized systems for major enterprises for more than 15 years. See the organizations we have worked with.
