Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has launched a powerful new version of its flagship product, TCS MasterCraft™, now augmented with Generative AI (GenAI) and Agentic AI capabilities. This strategic advancement enables enterprises to modernize legacy systems at significantly reduced costs—over 70% lower—and achieve outcomes twice as fast as traditional methods.

Addressing the Legacy Challenge

Many enterprises are burdened by large, outdated software systems developed over decades. These legacy applications, often written in archaic languages like COBOL, are expensive to maintain, prone to errors, and hard to integrate with modern technologies. The lack of subject matter experts and poor documentation further complicate transformation efforts.

The enhanced TCS MasterCraft™ now offers a comprehensive solution to this problem, helping enterprises convert and optimize their systems with minimal manual intervention.

Key Capabilities of the Upgraded TCS MasterCraft™

• GenAI integration allows for rapid mining of business logic from legacy systems, helping teams understand and replicate functionality in modern architectures.

• Agentic AI empowers the system to leverage vast TCS knowledge bases and best practices to tailor modernization strategies for different industries.

• The platform creates a central knowledge repository with up to 90% effort savings in documentation.

• Projects using the tool have shown 3X faster delivery compared to traditional approaches.

Real-World Impact: Global Financial Clients Already Benefiting

TCS shared that one of North America's largest banks has already benefited from using the GenAI-enhanced MasterCraft to modernize its mainframe applications, achieving 2X productivity gains and creating a centralized documentation base. Similarly, another major project involves the migration of over 50 million lines of COBOL code to Java, showcasing the platform’s scalability and power.

Sustainability and Future-Proofing Built In

Traditional modernization approaches often result in yet another outdated system. In contrast, TCS MasterCraft ensures long-term maintainability, enabling enterprises to:

• Transition to cloud-native, scalable, and resilient architectures

• Adopt microservices over monolithic applications

• Enable DevSecOps pipelines for continuous integration and delivery

• Involve human-in-the-loop decision making to ensure quality outcomes

Backed by a Decade of Innovation

Launched in 2012, TCS MasterCraft™ has continuously evolved to integrate the latest in automation and digital technologies. With this 2025 update, AI-driven modernization takes center stage. The addition of GenAI and Agentic AI further aligns the product with TCS’ broader AI roadmap, which includes over 580 AI-focused business engagements in Q4FY25 alone.

Expert Opinions Validate TCS’ Strategic Direction

Zachariah Chirayil, Practice Director at Everest Group, commented on the growing need for enterprises to modernize legacy systems while integrating with cloud ecosystems. He emphasized that TCS’ approach using AI, automation, and industry-specific insights ensures smooth transitions and client satisfaction across projects.

TCS’ Commitment to AI-Led Transformation

Ashvini Saxena, Vice President and Head of TCS’ Digital Software and Solutions, stated: “We’ve delivered hundreds of successful modernization programs using intelligent automation over the years. With GenAI and Agentic AI, we’ve taken our capabilities even further, allowing for the rapid extraction of business logic and automated transformation into maintainable, future-ready systems.”

Versatility Across Industries and Use Cases

TCS has developed over 150 specialized Agentic AI solutions targeting industries such as:

• Financial services

• Accounting

• Supply chain management

This ensures that every modernization program is tailored to the specific needs of the client’s sector.

Final Thoughts

With this latest release, TCS MasterCraft™ positions itself as a game-changer in the IT modernization space. By combining AI intelligence, automation efficiency, and deep domain expertise, TCS enables enterprises to not just upgrade their systems, but to reimagine their entire digital infrastructure.

The journey toward modern, intelligent, and cost-efficient IT systems is no longer a distant goal. With the GenAI and Agentic AI-powered TCS MasterCraft™, enterprises now have a robust toolset to transform faster, smarter, and sustainably.
