From Legacy to Living: How AI Is Reinventing the Modernization Playbook

In this episode of Enterprise Alchemists, hosts Dominic Wellington and Jeremiah Stone are joined by Kate Shaw, Lead Product Manager at SnapLogic, to explore one of enterprise IT's most stubborn and costly challenges: modernizing the integration systems that quietly hold entire businesses together.
Kate draws on decades of experience in information systems to unpack why modernization is fundamentally different from migration — and why the tribal knowledge, missing documentation, and accumulated hotfixes baked into legacy platforms make these projects so uniquely perilous. Together, the trio explore how SnapLogic's SLIM (SnapLogic Intelligent Modernizer) uses agentic AI to do in hours what once took teams six to eight months: illuminating what a legacy system is actually doing, documenting it with accuracy, and charting a path to what comes next.
From offshore drill ships that drift beyond recognition to COBOL systems still powering global enterprises in 2025, this conversation reframes the modernization conversation entirely — less a technology swap, more an act of enterprise archaeology.
