Problem Statement
01
The healthcare organization relied on a mission critical legacy application that had evolved over several years without consistent documentation
02
Limited visibility into system architecture and business logic increased dependency on a few experienced engineers
03
Ongoing support, enhancements, and troubleshooting were time consuming due to unclear system behavior
04
Lack of structured documentation made future modernization and architectural decisions unpredictable
Solution Overview
01
Initiated a structured reverse engineering approach to document the application in its current operational state
02
Used our GenAI-powered iBEAM documentation tool to extract low level technical artifacts such as classes, methods, interfaces, and dependencies
03
Conducted detailed functional analysis to translate technical outputs into business aligned workflows, rules, and application features
04
Reconstructed system architecture by identifying core components, layered responsibilities, and interaction patterns
05
Analyzed data access layers, entity models, and database structures to document conceptual and logical data relationships
Business Impact
FAQs:
What challenge did the healthcare organization face with its legacy application?
The healthcare organization operated a mission-critical legacy application that had evolved over time with minimal documentation. This resulted in limited visibility into system behavior, architecture, and data flows, increasing dependency on tribal knowledge and slowing maintenance and support activities.
How was the legacy application analyzed without modifying the existing codebase?
The application was reverse engineered using a GenAI-powered documentation accelerator combined with expert analysis. Technical constructs such as classes, methods, dependencies, workflows, and data models were extracted directly from the existing code and configurations without introducing any code changes.
What types of documentation were delivered as part of the engagement?
The engagement delivered a complete documentation package covering technical code structure, functional workflows, system architecture, and data models. This included application architecture diagrams, functional documentation, database schema details, and a consolidated summary report reflecting the system’s current state.
How did this initiative improve engineering efficiency and operational outcomes?
Structured documentation reduced dependency on undocumented knowledge, accelerated developer onboarding, and simplified troubleshooting and maintenance. Engineering teams gained faster access to system insights, resulting in measurable improvements in productivity and support efficiency.
How does this documentation support future modernization initiatives in healthcare systems?
By establishing a clear baseline of system architecture and data foundations, the organization gained greater confidence in evaluating modernization, refactoring, and cloud migration strategies. This reduced risk, improved planning accuracy, and ensured long-term scalability readiness.

Global Head of Digital R&D
My experience has been incredibly positive. They were incredibly easy to work with, even with changing requirements.
They are incredibly competitive, but are only a fraction of the cost of US companies.
They are definitely the most professional of the foreign companies that we were looking into.
