EWIS innovates AI-powered platform to de-risk enterprise legacy modernisation, unveiling a new solution aimed at reducing the complexity, cost, and uncertainty associated with transforming mission-critical legacy systems across industries.
EWIS innovates AI-powered platform to de-risk enterprise legacy modernisation with AEGIS
Sri Lanka-based IT firm EWIS has launched ‘AEGIS,’ an Artificial Intelligence-powered platform designed to help organisations modernise legacy infrastructure with greater control and predictability. The platform introduces a simulation-first approach, allowing enterprises to assess transformation outcomes before implementation.
The launch comes at a time when many organisations, particularly in sectors such as banking, insurance, telecommunications, healthcare, and government, continue to rely on legacy systems for core operations. While these systems remain critical, modernising them has historically been a high-risk undertaking, often resulting in delays, cost overruns, and operational disruptions.
The EWIS innovates AI-powered platform to de-risk enterprise legacy modernisation initiative seeks to address these challenges by enabling organisations to analyse, simulate, and validate system transformations in advance. According to the company, this approach significantly reduces uncertainty and enhances decision-making, allowing businesses to transition to modern architectures with greater confidence.
EWIS Group Chairman Sanjeewa Wickramanayake described the platform as a “game changer” for digitalisation, particularly within the public sector. He noted that organisations can shift from a reactive to a proactive approach by understanding potential outcomes before committing to large-scale system changes.
“Modernising legacy systems has traditionally been a high-risk process. With EWIS AEGIS, organisations can move from uncertainty to control, understanding outcomes before implementation and executing transformation with confidence,” Wickramanayake said.
A key differentiator of the AEGIS platform lies in its use of advanced technologies, including AI-driven code intelligence, dependency mapping, and digital twin simulation. These capabilities enable organisations to replicate existing systems virtually, identify hidden dependencies, and test changes in a controlled environment prior to deployment.
This AI-powered enterprise solutions model ensures that potential issues are detected early in the transformation process, reducing downtime and minimising disruptions to business operations. The platform also incorporates automated transformation features and AI-powered testing to maintain data integrity and ensure accuracy throughout the migration process.
Chief Technology Officer Isuru Dissanayake explained that combining artificial intelligence with digital twin simulation provides a clear pathway to modernisation. He emphasised that organisations can validate system behaviour in advance, significantly lowering the risks typically associated with large-scale IT transformations.
The EWIS innovates AI-powered platform to de-risk enterprise legacy modernisation solution is designed to deliver measurable outcomes, including faster project timelines, improved cost predictability, and reduced failure rates. By enabling simulation-first validation, the platform helps organisations avoid costly rework and streamline the modernisation process.
The innovation builds on EWIS’ experience in delivering backend solutions for national initiatives such as the Aswesuma social welfare programme, where reliability and efficiency are critical. These insights have informed the development of AEGIS, positioning it as a scalable solution for both local and international markets.
Industry experts note that the demand for legacy system modernisation is growing rapidly as organisations seek to remain competitive in an increasingly digital economy. Legacy systems, while stable, often lack the flexibility and scalability required to support modern digital services, making transformation a strategic priority.
However, the risks associated with such transformations have traditionally deterred organisations from undertaking comprehensive upgrades. The introduction of platforms like AEGIS could help bridge this gap by providing a structured and risk-mitigated approach to modernisation.
The platform is deployed on-premise, offering organisations greater control over data security and compliance, particularly in sectors with strict regulatory requirements. This feature is expected to be particularly appealing to government agencies and financial institutions.
The EWIS innovates AI-powered platform to de-risk enterprise legacy modernisation milestone reflects Sri Lanka’s growing capabilities in developing advanced technology solutions for global markets. As enterprises worldwide continue to invest in digital transformation, solutions that reduce risk and improve efficiency are likely to see increasing demand.
Looking ahead, EWIS aims to position AEGIS as a globally competitive platform that supports organisations in transitioning from legacy infrastructure to modern digital ecosystems. By combining innovation with practical application, the company is seeking to play a key role in shaping the future of enterprise technology transformation.
