AI-Based Modernization with the SmartComponent Library
How can you modernize OpenEdge applications efficiently while ensuring consistency, scalability, and speed?
In this webinar, we demonstrate how OpenEdge GUI and TTY applications can be transformed into modern web applications using a structured, proven approach. At the core is the SmartComponent Library - Consultingwerk’s modernization framework—enhanced by AI-powered developer tools such as Windsurf and Claude Code.
Based on real-world modernization projects, we show how this approach works in practice.
The SmartComponent Library provides a solid, structured foundation for consistent modernization, while AI and MCP servers support the analysis of legacy applications and help map existing patterns to modern architectures.
This approach is further enhanced by MCP servers that:
- Deliver structural knowledge of legacy applications and databases
- Provide rule sets to guide AI agents
- Enable the transformation of legacy patterns into modern application structures using SmartComponents
What you’ll learn
- AI-assisted modernization of legacy OpenEdge applications
- Natural language access to business data
- Integration of OpenEdge systems into AI-driven workflows and user-facing applications
By combining the SmartComponent Library with AI developer tools and the OpenEdge MCP Connector, organizations can achieve:
- Faster delivery cycles
- Reduced modernization effort
- Consistent and scalable results
We also provide an outlook beyond modernization - showing how AI systems can securely interact with OpenEdge applications, retrieve business data, and execute transactional logic.
