Abstract:

As organizations pursue AI-driven transformation, many remain constrained by technical debt, undocumented applications, and institutional knowledge trapped within legacy systems. Understanding these environments is often the greatest barrier to modernization. Join ASB Resources for a live demonstration of IBM Bob, an agentic AI platform that helps teams document, analyze, and modernize complex applications while accelerating software delivery. Learn how organizations can reduce modernization risk, improve developer productivity, and unlock innovation across the software development lifecycle.
