Experts from the Karsun ReDuX team recently joined the Fed to Fed podcast. Badri Sriraman and Judewin Gabriel joined Zack Schwartz, former CIO for the U.S. Department of Commerce, and Susan Sharer, CEO of GOVTECH CONNECTS and host of the Fed to Fed podcast. In this new episode, they discussed the use of artificial intelligence agents for rapid modernization. That includes legacy system challenges, overhyped AI, and crafting effective solutions given operational challenges.
An Urgent Need for Rapid Modernization
As they observe, the need for modernization is pervasive across government agencies. Driven by an expectation for faster, more robust, and bigger and better capabilities, today’s agencies demand speed and efficiency. Meanwhile, public expectations, shaped by advancements seen in the news, push government organizations further.
At the same time, federal leaders must balance the rise of overhyped AI solutions. These may not be fully vetted, lack support and fall flat in production environments. How then can systems integrators build trust while providing the rapid modernization solutions government agencies need?
ReDuX: The AI-First Modernization Platform Answer
To meet this demand for efficiency, agility, and accuracy, Karsun Solutions developed ReDuX, an AI-first platform that rethinks how modernization happens. It brings rapid modernization to legacy systems that have evolved over decades and often lack institutional knowledge. Even though this complexity increases risk, ReDuX moves beyond manual assessments to provide transparency and generate high quality, production ready code that requires less rework, speeding time to delivery.
How ReDuX Enables Rapid Modernization
- Multimodal AI agents build knowledge graphs from various inputs, including source code, documentation, schema information, and system demonstrations.
- Agents extract logic (APIs, batch jobs, user flows, calculations) and convert it into human-readable summaries, backed by citations.
- Agile teams review and assess legacy domains, then uncover user behaviors, business rules, data flows, and system architecture.
- Agents and teams translate business requirements into Given-When-Then (GWTs) for behavior-driven development (BDD).
- Teams reimagine the modernized systems, generating new software capabilities while preserving required functionality and supporting automated testing, ensuring functional equivalence between old and new systems.
- Teams then mobilize agents that take this information and other inputs as they generate purpose-fit, production-ready code.
The result, two times reduced effort, two times improved quality, and four times reduced time to implementation. Moreover, ReDuX takes several steps to improve the trustworthiness of the outputs produced by its AI agents. That includes using human-in-the-loop to validate outputs, automated reprocessing, implementing formal methods that specify software behavior, and active learning. If mistakes slip through, the system enables teams to trigger automated reprocessing based on feedback, making the blueprint agents smarter and more reliable over time.
The Next Evolution: Autonomous AI Agents
Karsun Solutions has a 15-year history of large-scale modernization work for federal agencies, and Redux emerged from this experience. Now the ReDuX team is applying that experience by evolving their platform to use the latest technological development. Autonomous AI agents link together forming a digital workforce capable of handling everything from product user stories to technical and production tickets. These agents learn from feedback, adapt to priorities, and collaborate like a real team. This enables precise, focused micro tools and facilitates moldable development.

As we enter the fourth quarter of a turbulent federal technology market, our Karsun experts are adapting to meet the evolving needs and missions of our agency customers. At the same time, meeting the demand for artificial intelligence enabled tools, our Karsun Innovation Center developed ReDuX, a comprehensive, end-to-end AI-accelerated modernization platform for the entire software development lifecycle. Today, as we close out the first half of 2025, we summarize some of the insights shared by experts in our Innovation Center and from our teams serving our U.S. government partners.
Bringing Thought Leadership to the IT Industry
Karsun thought leaders joined the AWS Mainframe Modernization Forum, the Federal Tech Podcast and other forums to share their experience with our ReDuX platform. In short, they observed, government modernization faces significant challenges from shrinking workforces and reliance on decades-old, mission-critical legacy systems which are difficult to maintain and often lack up-to-date subject matter expertise as veteran employees retire. This directly impacts federal customer experience, with only 23% of Americans finding federal services easy to navigate.
At these events, these Karsun experts revealed their ReDuX AI-powered modernization platform offers a crucial solution by deploying a digital workforce of AI agents. These agents effectively become Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) for legacy systems, blueprinting their architecture and converting intricate code to modern cloud platforms. This approach dramatically benefits development teams by accelerating complex migrations, enhancing code quality, and reducing costs, allowing human teams to focus on strategic, high-value work.
Ultimately, ReDuX aims to make federal services more usable, faster, and lead to more satisfied customers.
New Insights at Innovation Town Halls
In addition to our thought expertise at industry events, our experts currently working on real-world modernization engagements shared their experience at monthly Innovation Town Halls. We shared some of the insights from these experts on LinkedIn and in recent blogs.
That includes describing how Karsun innovates quickly while ensuring high-quality delivery. For instance, we shared how Karsun uses artificial intelligence to drive process improvement and ensure data privacy. ReDuX AI is central to this, enhancing productivity by 22.5% for mainframe modernization. For instance, ReDuX addresses code parsing challenges early then generates production-ready code faster than human teams. Karsun’s approach also integrates AI for human-centered design (HCD) and can enhance organizations’ Zero Trust Architecture posture. This comprehensive approach is underpinned by an innovation culture prioritizing cross-functional collaboration and strategic investment in the right technology and processes.

At Karsun Solutions, we’re constantly pushing the boundaries of innovation, especially when it comes to modernizing legacy systems. Our monthly Innovation Town Halls showcase how our experts use emerging technologies like automation and AI to solve real-world customer challenges. Recently, we had two insightful presentations that highlighted the power and versatility of our ReDuX AI-powered modernization platform in transforming complex legacy code using an AI code parser. That team recently summarized their findings on our GoReDuX Blog. Today we’re sharing their insights below.
Natural/ADABAS Modernization with ReDuX AI Code Parser
A common pain point for mainframe customers involves systems written in legacy Natural code with ADABAS. The desire to move away from these systems is driven by several factors, including proprietary software costs, workforce shortages and the fine-tuning required for proper system performance.
While other modernization tools offer automations for refactoring or replatforming, they often fall short in providing deeper insights. Moreover, they do not lay the groundwork for future enhancements.
The ReDuX Solution
Karsun expert Eamon Cusic shared how his team addressed this. Using ReDuX, they developed a Natural parser capable of assessing both the syntax and semantic structure of the code The team utilized ReDuX Blueprinting agents to analyze user behavior, software module code, and VSAM database schema.
This enabled them to provide context within the VSAM, including crucial elements like core business logic, data flow, and screen flows. With ReDuX Blueprint citations, Eamon’s team could even examine exact window management subroutines, providing unprecedented clarity.
Conquering VB6 and Unsupported Third-Party Components
Raminder Saluja, an AI for modernization leader in our aviation practice, shared another critical challenge facing his customer. A vital legacy application faced obsolescence because its language and third-party components were no longer supported, making modifications and bug fixes nearly impossible. The looming threat? The application was anticipated to stop working with the next Windows update.
The ReDuX Solution
Raminder’s team needed a tool for rapid modernization. ReDuX proved to be the solution, not only capable of parsing VB6 code but also validating requirements and generating test cases as part of the modernization process. After leveraging the Blueprinting agents (like those used for Natural), Raminder’s team extended ReDuX’s VB6 parsing to its code companion code generation agent. The ultimate goal: migrate VB6 to a VB .Net application.
This approach dramatically reduced the modernization timeline. While traditional methods can take over a year, this ReDuX-powered effort is expected to be completed within a 6-month timeframe.
ReDuX: A Mature Framework for Any Legacy Language
What these case studies demonstrate is ReDuX’s incredible adaptability. Whether you’re dealing with Natural, VB6, Oracle Forms/Apex, or other legacy coding languages like COBOL, ReDuX provides a mature framework that allows for the addition of new parsers and libraries. Depending on the language’s complexity, a ReDuX AI engineering team can typically write new parsers in just 2-6 weeks.
Both Eamon and Raminder leveraged this mature process to tackle previously intractable code parsing problems, transforming challenging modernization efforts into achievable projects.
ReDuX empowers Architects, BAs, Product Owners, Designers, Developers, and Testers to achieve significant improvements. Connect with us to discover how ReDuX can tackle your legacy code challenges and accelerate your modernization journey!
What often appears to be “overnight success” is usually the result of years of strategic investment, learning from failure, and relentless perseverance. In the workplace, innovation doesn’t arise by chance—it’s cultivated through intentional effort, structured initiatives, and a culture that inspires people to imagine what’s possible.
Award-winning organizations don’t leave innovation to luck. They create environments where creativity flourishes and bold ideas are transformed into meaningful results. Here are some of the foundational strategies that drive innovation behind the scenes:
1. Encouraging Psychological Safety
One of the most powerful predictors of a high-performing team is psychological safety—the belief that it’s safe to take risks, speak up, and share unconventional ideas without fear of embarrassment or retaliation.
When employees feel secure, they’re more likely to voice new concepts, challenge the status quo, and support each other through trial and error. Innovation requires experimentation, and that means sometimes failing forward. A psychologically safe environment turns failure into feedback and fuels the kind of creative thinking that leads to breakthroughs.
2. Fostering Cross-Functional Collaboration
When people from different departments, roles, and backgrounds collaborate, they bring fresh perspectives and uncover unexpected solutions.
Organizations that encourage this kind of cross-functional synergy consistently outperform those that operate in silos. Collaboration fosters empathy, promotes knowledge-sharing, and sparks the kind of energy that drives change. Highlighted in Karsun’s previous blog post on collaboration and communication, which explores how a connected culture leads to higher-quality outcomes—demonstrating that the best ideas often emerge at the intersection of diverse experiences.
3. Investing in the Right Technology and Processes
True innovation requires the right infrastructure. That means not just having access to cutting-edge tools, but embedding smart processes that empower employees to do their best work.
Forward-thinking companies are constantly evolving their tech stacks and workflows to remove friction, boost efficiency, and open doors to new ways of thinking. These investments aren’t just about staying competitive, they signal to employees that the organization believes in their potential and is committed to enabling their success.
Building a Culture That Sustains Innovation
A thriving culture of innovation is never accidental. It’s a reflection of leadership choices, employee empowerment, and a clear vision of what’s possible. By prioritizing the employee experience—through trust, creativity, collaboration, and capability—organizations don’t just achieve recognition. They build workplaces where people are inspired to grow, experiment, and shape the future every single day.
Behind every award, milestone, or major leap forward lies a story of intention. Success, it turns out, is built in the quiet moments: brainstorming sessions, courageous conversations, and the unwavering belief that tomorrow can always be better than today.
