State and local agencies are under more pressure than ever to do more with less. Budgets are tightening, citizen and workforce expectations are rising, and the legacy systems many agencies still depend on were never built for this pace of change. Modernization has shifted from a long-term IT initiative to an operational and financial necessity.
Karsun Solutions is a proven public sector technology provider. We work with state and local government agencies and the systems integrators who serve them to modernize legacy infrastructure, reduce costs, improve digital service delivery, and simplify procurement — without disrupting the mission-critical systems agencies depend on every day.
In short, Karsun’s ReDuX AI-powered modernization platform help agencies and their partners move faster with less risk.
Meeting State and Local Modernization Challenges
Three converging forces make modernization urgent for state and local government.:
- Budget pressure. Agencies must deliver better services with fewer resources, pushing modernization decisions to be judged on near-term financial impact, not just long-term technology value.
- Regulatory and compliance mandates. New accessibility rules (ADA Title II) require state and local digital services to meet WCAG standards, fraud-waste-abuse (FWA) prevention is pushing agencies toward systems with real-time financial visibility, and integration mandates demand data-sharing across agencies.
- Declining legacy expertise. As veteran staff retire, institutional knowledge of COBOL-based, Natural with Adabas, and other mainframes systems is walking out the door with them, making these systems riskier and more expensive to maintain.
- Rising expectations. Citizens and internal users expect the same speed and usability from government systems that they get from modern commercial applications.
Legacy systems make all of these challenges harder to solve. Siloed financial data limits visibility into spending and makes it difficult to identify fraud, waste, and abuse. Manual processes slow reporting and service delivery. And outdated architecture makes it difficult to adopt the AI and automation tools agencies now need to keep pace.

Cost Optimization
Reduce O&M and deliver modernization based on measurable financial and efficiency outcomes. Overcome hidden costs from siloed data, disparate systems, manual reporting, and limited visibility into spending.
Digital Experience & Service Delivery
Better experiences and greater efficiency go hand in hand. Today’s agencies must modernize government service delivery to meet constituent and staff expectations.
Legacy & Mainframe Modernization
Many state systems still run on decades-old COBOL mainframes that are costly to maintain and increasingly difficult to support. Using AI rapidly analyze legacy systems and generate modern, traceable code without disrupting operations.
Reduce Technical Debt
For agencies modernizing for the AI era, dead code and technical compounds risk to mission-critical systems. Modernize at the speed of AI with agentic tools designed to pay down technical debt while reducing rework.
Our AI-Powered Modernization Approach
Karsun Solutions has 15+ years of public sector modernization experience, with deep expertise in acquisitions, aviation, grants management, fleet management, and healthcare systems modernization. That experience is built into ReDuX, Karsun’s AI-powered modernization platform.
ReDuX uses agentic AI to:
- Analyze legacy systems. ReDuX Blueprint agents build a digital twin of large, complex legacy systems. Discover insights including COBOL programs, JCL, and database structures. Reduce modernization risk and generate a full blueprint of system architecture and business logic before a single line of code changes.
- Generate modern, traceable code. Produce verifiable one-to-one mapping between legacy and modernized components, so agencies can validate exactly what changed and why.
- Modernize incrementally. Build modern, modular, cloud-native systems by bridging old and new systems. End big bang modernization and build incrementally so mission-critical operations continue running throughout the migration
- Elevate your Experts-in-the-Loop. Build institutional knowledge, generate a documented, AI-generated understanding of systems. Codify software decisions with enterprise-grade agentic AI. Let your experts manage a digital modernization workforce using your best practices.
Delivering Traceable Mainframe Modernization
When a teamsupporting a state government mainframe modernization project hit major roadblocks, they brought in Karsun’s ReDuX. Learn how ReDuX agents analyzed the legacy COBOL system, generated the required C# code and cloud-native batch workflows, and delivered 100% traceability between every legacy component and its modern equivalent, helping the customer pass the pilot phase and remain eligible for the full contract award.
Recognized Public Sector Contender
Karsun was named a Contender in the 2026 ISG Provider Lens® Mainframes Services and Solutions report for the U.S. Public Sector, with the study specifically highlighting Karsun’s ability to bridge high-end federal engineering with local government accessibility. The report also recognized Karsun’s ReDuX platform in the Global Mainframe Services and Solutions Application Modernization Software study.
The analysis points to three differentiators for public sector buyers: Karsun’s CMMI Level 5 process discipline, its combination of generative AI and deterministic tools for legacy workflow mapping, and its emphasis on phased, low-risk migration with governed SLAs.
Procurement & Purchasing for State and Local Agencies
Modernization initiatives often stall on procurement. Karsun makes it easier for state and local agencies, and the systems integrators who partner with them, to acquire modernization services through established channels.
Karsun Solutions ReDuX is available through strategic partnerships. Through these partnerships, state and local agencies can access Karsun’s AI-powered modernization platform and public sector services using established contract vehicles and cooperatives, simplifying acquisition for agencies and their teaming partners alike.
For state and local buyers specifically, Karsun’s professional services and product offerings are available through established cooperative purchasing vehicles, including NASPO ValuePoint and OMNIA Partners, both accessible through Karsun’s partners. These cooperative agreements let state and local agencies procure Karsun’s modernization services without running a separate competitive solicitation, shortening the path from decision to delivery.
