Benefits of RecodeX

Founded in 1976 as Micro-Processor Services, RecodeX specializes in fully automated tools that empower our clients to modernize legacy applicationsquickly, accurately, safely and independently

Our tools can refactor legacy code for over 223 programming dialects (including 38 for COBOL modernization) to modern languages like C, C++, C# and Java

We have already served over 2,000 global corporate clients across diverse industries and collaborated with implementation firms to deliver exceptional results for their customers - and look forward to serving you!

100% automated

Not just a “developer assistant.” Refactor legacy code in weeks - not months

Unmatched accuracy

Refined on over 300 million lines of code to achieve 85-95% line-level accuracy  

Broad support

Over 223 legacy language dialects and 12+ modern languages supported

Maintains code security

Designed for direct use by your engineers in just a few hours - your code never leaves premises

Deterministic

Not a black box; won't hallucinate, miss requirements or create long-tail risk

How we're different
Recodex vs. your other options for legacy application modernization

Manual refactoring

Significantly faster and cheaper

Automated - Spend just 2-4 weeks refactoring legacy code, instead of months or years

Cheaper - Automated translation costs 5-10% of manual application refactoring

Less risk - Automated translation ensures no missed requirements (a real risk on undocumented code) and fewer long-tail errors

Other Transpilers

Safer and more accurate

Keep code secure - Unlike competitors, legacy code refactoring is performed by your engineers and your code never leaves your premises

Higher accuracy - Our algorithm has been refined over 38 years on 2,000 clients and 300 million lines of code

More cost effective - Priced 25-50% less than transpiler competitors

No platform lock-in - Our tools work no matter what infrastructure you choose - mainframe, cloud, public or private

RecodeX vs. Competitors

AI-only solutions

More accurate and less risky

Actually automated - Recodex is 100% automated - not just a coding “assistant"

Significantly higher accuracy - AI-based solutions achieve 40-60% line-level accuracy on legacy languages like COBOL or Assembly.  Our tools achieve 85-95% on the first try

Much less risky - Our algorithms are deterministic (not a black box), ensuring functional equivalence and no missed requirements or hallucinations

Keeps code secure - Putting your proprietary code into public AI models puts your data and IP at risk

Our Technology

How our proprietary technology helps you refactor legacy code to modernize legacy applications

Our automated translation tools use a proprietary tertiary language as an intermediary. Behind the scenes, legacy code is first converted into this tertiary language and then transformed into the modern language
This two-step process preserves functional equivalence by maintaining a 1:1 correspondence in concepts and functions wherever possible
In cases where exact correspondence is contextual, our proprietary algorithms, refined over 300 million lines of code, come into play - resulting in unmatched accuracy
This methodology allows us to support typical COBOL to Java migrations, as well as custom solutions
User Experience

What you get: Our automated translation tool and user manual is provided via FTP, email or USB. A physical license key will be mailed to you.

Secure: All steps in the translation process are performed by your engineers on-premises in a non-prod environment - you retain full control over your code at all times.

Simple: 3 steps using our Windows interface:
  • Select source language (including dialect)
  • Select file(s) to translate (including any include/copy files)
  • View the translated file(s)

Fast: Legacy code refactoring takes just a few hours - even for 100,000+ lines of code

Compile & Validate: Use your own complier and regression tests on the translated code - or use ours. Send us the error logs and we adapt the tool to improve accuracy. We respond with updates to your tool in ~1 week.
