Modernizing Legacy: AI Integration Strategies
July 16, 2026 | Online
Total rewrites are expensive and risky. This two-day course provides a pragmatic, surgical approach to injecting AI capabilities into established legacy applications. We focus on "The AI Wrapper" and "Sidecar" patterns, allowing you to add intelligent features—such as automated data extraction, natural language interfaces, and predictive maintenance—without compromising the stability of your core systems. Learn how to bridge the gap between monolithic architectures and modern AI microservices.
This is an online event.
