modernisation tools, one platform

Three ways in, one platform

From mainframe to modern, on your premises

One platform, five steps. Each module builds on what the previous one found, from the first analysis of your COBOL, JCL and DB2 estate to proven Java on Spring Boot. On-premise or EU-hosted, GDPR, DORA and BaFin compliant by design.

From ZIP upload to
deployed Java microservices

01

Upload your source archive

Zip your COBOL programs, JCL jobs, BMS maps, Copybooks and DB2 DDL files. Upload via the web UI or the REST API — the same API your CI/CD pipeline can call directly. No code changes, no agents to install.

02

ilumeny Discover: parse, score, extract

Every file type is parsed, call dependencies are mapped, and business rules are extracted automatically — risk scores, SQL statements, field mappings, error handling, all without manual effort.

03

Plan, convert schema, generate Java

ilumeny Plan turns the analysis into a sprint backlog and cost model. ilumeny Migrate converts DB2 to PostgreSQL or Oracle. ilumeny Transform generates Spring Boot microservices, JPA entities and unit tests — orchestrated as one automated pipeline by ilumeny Autopilot, or run module by module.

04

Download your complete migration package

One ZIP with everything: business specifications, the migration project plan, converted schema scripts, and ready-to-run Java services — plus the original PDF/Excel reports for stakeholder sign-off and compliance audit.

A world in which IT systems
no longer become obsolete

Modernisation is no longer an expensive large-scale project that starts over every few years, but a continuous, largely automated process.

Why ilumeny exists

In 24 years of banking IT, I have seen the same pattern again and again: large enterprises such as banks spend a substantial share of their IT budget, year after year, on migration, upgrade and obsolescence projects. To this day, almost all of these projects are carried out manually. At the same time, software lifecycles keep getting shorter: no sooner is one project finished than the next one is due.

Staying up to date thus becomes a permanent task that ties up budget and skilled people without creating new business value. Every euro and every expert spent on maintaining what already exists is missing for innovation, new products and the customer.

The ilumeny Modernization Platform was born from this experience.

Our mission

The ilumeny Modernization Platform offers a growing portfolio of tools that largely automates the modernisation of IT systems: from analysis through planning to migration. We started with the Mainframe and have already moved on to Java modernisation. More technologies will follow, because every system of today is the legacy system of tomorrow.

Our tools run where our customers’ data is safe: on-premise in their own infrastructure or hosted in the EU, compliant with GDPR, DORA and BaFin requirements by design. No source code leaves the building without the customer’s explicit consent.

Freed-up budget
Modernisation costs significantly less than today’s manual projects.
Freed-up experts
Skilled people work on what is new instead of keeping the old alive.
Systems that stay current
No obsolescence risks and no modernisation backlog.
Full control
Code and data stay in your own infrastructure, in line with regulation.

However technology evolves: we put our customers in pole position.

Built for enterprise trust

Every ilumeny product is designed to meet the strictest compliance requirements of European banks, insurance companies and regulated institutions — including GDPR, DORA and BaFin MaRisk/BAIT.

🇩🇪
Germany only
All servers run at Hetzner in Nuremberg and Falkenstein. AI inference stays in the EU, or inside your own network.
🔒
DSGVO compliant
Full compliance with EU and German data protection law. DPA available on request.
🏗️
On-premise option
Every product is available as a Docker image for deployment on your own infrastructure.
🔑
JWT + role-based access
Secure authentication with ADMIN and CUSTOMER roles. Tokens expire after 24 hours.
⚖️
DORA compliant
Automated risk identification and audit-trail documentation — built to satisfy Digital Operational Resilience Act requirements for EU financial institutions.
🤖
AI — EU region only
Azure OpenAI, deployed in Sweden on the EU Data Zone: inference stays within the EU, no data is routed to the USA. Verifiable via the Microsoft DPA.
🛡️
COBOL is not personal data
Source code contains only field names — never actual customer values. AI analysis of COBOL is fully GDPR-compliant. Documentation available for your DPO.
🏠
Your own AI, inside your network
No external AI at all? The platform connects to open-weight models such as Qwen or gpt-oss running in your own data centre. In our benchmark they took over values, thresholds and return codes as exactly as Azure OpenAI, with somewhat less detailed business rules. What never leaves cannot be lost.
✅
Proven, not promised
With ilumeny Verify, every generated service runs side by side with the original COBOL on the same data. Outputs, database state, messages and screens are compared, and an evidence report documents the result for audit and supervision.
