Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has released a new version of its MasterCraft™ platform, now integrated with Generative AI (GenAI) and Agentic AI. The platform is intended to help enterprises automate the process of modernising old IT systems, which are often complex and costly to maintain.

As of 11:07 AM on May 7, 2025, Tata Consultancy Services share price was trading at ₹3,430.50, down 0.85% for the day, with a 17.36% decline over the past six months and a 13.78% gain over the past year.

Enterprises with Large Legacy Systems

Many organisations operate large-scale legacy applications built over several decades. These systems usually come with rising technology debt, high operational costs, limited documentation, and a shrinking pool of experts familiar with them. Most existing tools focus mainly on converting old systems into newer formats, which can lead to additional challenges in maintenance and long-term usability.

Automation and Knowledge Extraction

The latest version of MasterCraft™ incorporates GenAI and Agentic AI to extract business logic, convert legacy applications, and create a central design repository. This allows enterprises to handle large-scale modernisation projects with reduced manual effort. TCS stated that the updated tool can bring down modernisation costs by over 70% and deliver outcomes up to twice as fast compared to traditional approaches.

Use Case from Banking Sector

Reports suggest that a North American bank used MasterCraft™ to transition its mainframe applications. During this process, it recorded double the productivity and completed delivery three times faster than older methods. A central knowledge base was also created, which led to a 90% reduction in the manual effort needed for documentation and process mapping.

Agentic AI for Complex Modernisation

The Agentic AI feature uses internal repositories, best practices, and AI-driven agents to address challenges unique to different systems and architectures. Human input is retained throughout the process, allowing organisations to make context-based decisions during modernisation.

Conclusion

TCS’s updated MasterCraft™ platform with GenAI and Agentic AI is intended to help enterprises manage legacy system upgrades more efficiently by automating parts of the process, reducing costs, and improving delivery timelines, without entirely replacing human involvement.
