Generative and agentic AI are rapidly becoming central drivers of enterprise transformation, enabling businesses to leverage deep data expertise for solving complex challenges. At a recent EXL virtual event, industry leaders shared how AI-powered tools like Code Harbor are dramatically accelerating legacy system modernization by reducing manual effort up to 80% while improving accuracy through business-context-aware migrations rather than simple line-by-line conversions.
The big picture: EXL is demonstrating how specialized AI tools can transform traditional business processes by automating complex workflows and dramatically reducing manual effort across industries.
- Code Harbor, EXL’s genAI-powered code migration tool, represents a shift from viewing AI as merely a supplementary technology to positioning it as a core driver of business transformation.
- The solution leverages task-specific AI agents to handle assessment, transformation, optimization, testing and validation of legacy code systems automatically.
Key capabilities: Code Harbor works by analyzing and understanding the business context of code rather than performing traditional line-by-line migrations.
- Built on EXL’s AI orchestration platform EXLerate.AI and Amazon Web Services, the tool eliminates redundant code and optimizes performance while reducing manual effort by 60-80%.
- Its modular architecture distributes tasks across multiple AI agents in parallel, significantly increasing both the speed and scalability of migrations.
Why this matters: Legacy system modernization has traditionally been a high-risk, resource-intensive process that creates significant business disruption.
- By automating and contextualizing the modernization process, Code Harbor helps enterprises reduce both the cost and business risk associated with updating critical legacy technologies.
- This approach enables companies to modernize their technology stack more rapidly and with greater confidence, accelerating their overall digital transformation efforts.
What they’re saying: “AI is no longer just a tool,” said Vishal Chhibbar, chief growth officer at EXL. “It’s a driver of transformation.”
- Sujit Singh, partner solutions architect at AWS, noted that “Code Harbor provides a comprehensive solution for customers for code diagnosis, code conversion, testing and code optimization.”
- According to Swati Malhotra, AI solutions leader at EXL, the solution is “designed to accelerate platform modernization, streamline workflow assessment and enable data discovery, helping organizations drive efficiency, scalability and compliance.”
Beyond code migration: The virtual event also highlighted EXL’s broader AI strategy with additional specialized solutions for targeted business applications.
- EXL’s Insurance LLM provides purpose-built capabilities for streamlining insurance claims adjudication and underwriting processes.
- EXLerate.AI combines AI agents with domain-specific large language models to manage and automate complex business workflows across cloud and hybrid environments.

DOE fusion roadmap targets 2030s commercial deployment as AI drives $9B investment
The Department of Energy has released a new roadmap targeting commercial-scale fusion power deployment by the mid-2030s, though the plan lacks specific funding commitments and relies on scientific breakthroughs that have eluded researchers for decades. The strategy emphasizes public-private partnerships and positions AI as both a research tool and motivation for developing fusion energy to meet data centers' growing electricity demands. The big picture: The DOE's roadmap aims to "deliver the public infrastructure that supports the fusion private sector scale up in the 2030s," but acknowledges it cannot commit to specific funding levels and remains subject to Congressional appropriations.
