Rewriting the risk equation for mainframe modernization

Imogen® is Mechanical Orchard’s mainframe modernization automation platform

It captures what a system actually does — through real data flows across component interfaces — and uses that behavioral specification to guide and validate AI code generation, proving equivalence at every step.

Imogen modernizes
a workload in three
interconnected modules

Analyze:
deterministic understanding

Imogen reads your source directly to map how the system works and what it depends on — deterministically, not probabilistically. You get to see the full scope before you commit.

Rewrite:
proof as you go

Imogen generates modern code and verifies it against real production data, slice by slice. The end result is fully verified, production-ready code — not output that you wait to test at the end.

Orchestrate:
old and new in tandem

Legacy and modern components run side by side, so the system stays live while you change it. Modernize in order of business, one slice at a time, with no big-bang cutover.

Imogen for System
Integrator Partners

Imogen can help you deliver modernization engagements faster, with less uncertainty and risk. Our test-driven approach embeds the integration and testing phase — the source of many unmet project goals — into the code generation process itself. 

We complement a wide variety of existing techniques: system integrators can use any or all three of our Analyze, Rewrite, and Orchestrate phases to build out the most suitable game plans for their clients.

For example, Imogen integrates with AWS Transform or Google MAT to create wave planning and apply deterministic validation in an automated way. For example, for clients using AWS Transform, Imogen fulfills the critical validation portion.
