Karsient ShiftIQ
Understand Legacy. Plan the Shift. Modernize With Intelligence.
ShiftIQ analyzes complex legacy applications — code, dependencies, business rules and data flows — to tell you exactly what you have, what it does, and how it should be modernized, before migration begins.
Why it exists
Problems ShiftIQ solves
Millions of lines of legacy code with no current inventory
Undocumented business rules buried in stored procedures and jobs
Complex, hidden dependencies across applications and workloads
No consistent way to score technical debt or migration risk
No defensible way to estimate effort before committing to a migration
How it works
Inside the ShiftIQ process
Discover → Analyze → Understand → Assess → Plan
Under the hood
How ShiftIQ analyzes your legacy code
ShiftIQ doesn't just scan file names — it parses every object into a dialect-aware abstract syntax tree, then reasons over that structure with AI models trained on legacy SQL and ETL patterns.
Parses SQL, stored procedures, and ETL job definitions into a dialect-aware AST
Cross-references every table, view, and procedure to build a live dependency graph
Uses AI pattern-matching to infer business rules embedded in procedural logic
Scores each object for complexity, risk, and technical debt using a weighted model
Capabilities
What's inside
Legacy code discovery
Automated inventory of applications, jobs, schemas, and code across the legacy estate.
AI-powered code analysis
Deep static analysis of SQL, stored procedures, and ETL logic using AI-assisted parsing.
Dependency analysis
Maps every dependency between tables, views, procedures, and jobs into a queryable graph.
Business-rule identification
Surfaces the business logic embedded in legacy code so it isn't lost in translation.
Data-flow analysis
Traces how data actually moves through the estate, not just how it's documented.
Application & workload classification
Groups applications and workloads by type, criticality, and modernization pattern.
Migration complexity scoring
Scores every object and application so the easiest, highest-value work can go first.
Technical-debt assessment
Quantifies technical debt across the estate to justify and prioritize modernization.
Migration-readiness assessment
Flags what's ready to migrate as-is versus what needs redesign first.
Source-to-target technology mapping
Maps legacy constructs to their Databricks-native equivalents ahead of conversion.
Migration effort estimation
Rolls complexity and readiness scores up into a defensible effort and timeline estimate.
Automated modernization assessment reports
Board-ready reports summarizing scope, risk, effort, and recommended sequencing.

FAQ
Common questions
No — ShiftIQ is read-only. It analyzes code, metadata, and exported definitions and never writes back to a source system.
