Know your entire legacy system in 24 hours.
Axal scans your legacy codebase and delivers a complete, auditable map of every requirement, user story, and epic—so you know exactly what to rebuild.
Is Your Technology on the "Must-Rewrite" List?
These common tech stacks aren't just old — they represent unavoidable business risks.
Mandate: Silverlight & .NET Framework are end-of-life; modern browsers dropped plugin support.
What does this really mean: Silverlight and old .NET Framework apps don't run on modern browsers and get no security updates — without rebuilding, the system will stop working and expose you to security risks.
Mandate: JNLP/Applets deprecated; legacy app servers (old WebLogic/JBoss) miss current security baselines.
What does this really mean: Java Web Start and outdated Java EE servers are no longer supported and fail modern security checks — you must move them to a supported platform to keep them usable.
Mandate: PHP 5 & Magento 1 are EOL and fail PCI DSS patching requirements.
What does this really mean: Outdated PHP and Magento versions automatically fail payment security audits — without upgrading, your payment processing can be shut down.
Mandate: Tied to outdated IIS/Windows Server, legacy TLS/ciphers, and SOAP stacks.
What does this really mean: These apps run on legacy Windows servers that can't meet current security standards — rebuilding is the only way to protect data and connect to modern systems.
Mandate: HL7 v2 systems cannot meet FHIR requirements for REST/OAuth2/SMART; old HL7 v2 interfaces lack required API & auth models.
What does this really mean: The old HL7 v2 format can't meet FHIR's data-sharing requirements — modernization is required to legally and securely exchange patient records.
Mandate: ISO 8583 (batch/field-based) is being replaced by ISO 20022 (XML/real-time) with richer semantics.
What does this really mean: The old payment format is being replaced by ISO 20022, and banks will reject unsupported transactions — you need to rebuild to keep payments moving.
95% of your discovery, could be done by tomorrow.
Replace 3–6 months of manual discovery with a 24-hour scan

Dear Calvin Tio,
We're starting a modernization project, but we don't have a full picture of what the original system does. I've found a way to map and document the entire codebase by tomorrow — giving us everything we need to get started with confidence.
Best regards,
Enja Niya
Frequently Asked Questions
Axal pushes requirements directly into Jira, Azure DevOps, and developer IDEs, so it works inside your existing workflow — no new tools for them to “go learn.”
Yes. Axal fits into both Agile delivery. The requirement set can be imported into your backlog on day one and stays linked to progress reports, tests, and code throughout the project.
That’s exactly what it’s built for. Axal doesn’t rely on existing documentation — it analyzes the actual source code to extract functional requirements, even in tangled, poorly maintained systems.
We replace 3–6 months of manual discovery (often only 70–80% complete) with a 24-hour automated process that delivers ~90% coverage. That time savings alone can cut 20–30% of your overall project cost and prevent rework that can extend timelines by 6–12 months.
They can — but it will take months, pull them off building the new system, and they’ll still miss requirements. Axal gives them the full map up front, so they spend their time building, not reverse-engineering.
SIs love Axal because it removes their biggest risk: missing requirements that blow up timelines and margins. Axal gives them a complete, auditable scope from day one, which keeps the project on track and avoids costly change orders.
Most customers see their first full requirement map within 24 hours of providing code access. You’ll have a clear, actionable scope before your next planning session.
It’s continuous. The first scan gives you the full scope, then Axal tracks each requirement through rebuild and testing, producing compliance-ready parity reports at any point.
Yes, to generate the requirement map. Code can be processed entirely within your network or in our SOC 2 Type 2 environment. We never send code to third parties, and access is removed immediately after processing if hosted with us.
We support Java, C#, PHP, and 30 other languages. If you need Axal we can tailor to tool to work for you!
Axal captures ~90% of behaviors present in the code. It can’t extract requirements that only exist in human processes or undocumented integrations outside the codebase. Those are flagged for manual follow-up.
You can export requirements, mappings, and parity reports at any time in CSV, JSON, or PDF formats. There’s no lock-in — you own your data.
