In New Zealand, many organisations, including finance, healthcare, utilities and government, depend on long-standing legacy applications that are vital to operations but slow down transformation.
Datacom’s artificial intelligence (AI) application modernisation combines AI agents and local engineering expertise to deliver modernisation at speed and compliant with New Zealand Information Security Manual (NZISM), Department of Internal Affairs Infrastructure as a Service (DIA IaaS) and Aotearoa’s Digital Strategy.
All workloads are processed on New Zealand-based Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) infrastructure, ensuring fast, secure and compliant delivery.
Navigate a smarter and faster way to modernise with AI
Our AI application modernisation services don’t just enable you to replace your legacy applications with a modern equivalent — it can proactively identify, test and implement innovations across your application stack, giving your organisation a powerful competitive edge that sets you apart from the rest.
We can help:
AI agents generate up to 70% of your code, overseen by New Zealand engineers
Modernisation timeframes cut from months or years to weeks
30–50% cost savings versus traditional rebuilds
Aligned to New Zealand's public sector cloud and security standards
Seamless integration with Datacom’s cloud, cybersecurity, and assurance services
AI-powered application modernisation introduces AI agents to speed up tasks like code analysis, refactoring, and documentation without replacing human oversight. This approach unlocks new opportunities by modernising legacy applications securely, quickly, and cost-effectively.
Traditional application modernisation relies on human-led analysis, design, and code remediation. It’s deliberate, structured, and essential for applications that demand deep contextual understanding and integration with complex enterprise environments.

Our process begins with a comprehensive business and technical assessment, using automated tools and expert insight to analyse your application landscape. This shapes your unique, risk-managed modernisation roadmap.
_______________
For suitable systems, AI agents generate documentation, migrate code, automate testing, and speed up delivery by generating up to 70% of the code under the close guidance of our engineers.
Where automation is not fit-for-purpose, our engineering team leads the process with detailed analysis and hands-on execution, using trusted methods honed over decades. Often, a combination of both ensures the best possible result.
_______________
Every project is delivered with minimal disruption to your business. We provide secure, modern technology foundations, ongoing support, and actionable performance insights so you stay resilient, compliant, and ready for what’s next.

AI-powered application modernisation uses intelligent agents to analyse, refactor, and rewrite legacy code, significantly reducing time, cost, and risk. Datacom combines AI with expert human oversight to modernise applications faster, creating secure, scalable, and cloud-ready systems without disrupting existing operations.
Traditional modernisation is costly, slow, and resource heavy. AI App modernisation accelerates delivery using AI to generate up to 70% of code, reducing timelines from years to weeks. Datacom’s approach lowers costs, minimises disruption, and delivers value faster through incremental, low-risk transformations.
Datacom offers a fixed-price Minimum Viable Product (MVP) starting from just $30K. This approach gives organisations a clear path to modernisation with upfront cost certainty. Final costs depend on project scope, but AI acceleration typically reduces overall spend by 30–50% compared to traditional methods.
Yes. Datacom integrates security into every stage of the modernisation process. Applications are developed using secure coding practices, hosted on sovereign infrastructure, and governed by local compliance standards. Our “human-in-the-loop” model ensures AI-generated code is always reviewed and validated by experts.
Datacom uses a phased, incremental approach that avoids the downtime of “rip and replace” strategies. We modernise applications in stages, maintaining service continuity and business operations throughout. Our AI agents work alongside engineers to accelerate delivery without compromising control or performance.
Datacom’s AI app modernisation supports a wide range of legacy platforms including .NET, Java, COBOL, Oracle, and others. Our technology-agnostic approach ensures we align to your existing environment while preparing your applications for modern, cloud-native architectures.
Absolutely. Datacom has deep experience modernising applications in highly regulated sectors like government, health, and finance. Our AI app modernisation meets strict compliance, data sovereignty, and security standards across Australia and New Zealand, making it ideal for mission-critical and sensitive workloads.
