Start with Discovery. Then choose the right next step.

Every engagement starts with a Discovery. What follows depends on the evidence: Application Managed Services, Modernization, New product development, or a clear recommendation not to proceed.

The offers

One entry point, three ways forward

Discovery is the required first step. The follow-on offers are separate decisions, made with the Discovery evidence in hand.

STEP 1 · REQUIRED

Discovery

10 business days at a fixed price. Understand the system before anyone commits to changing it.

  1. 01System inventory and systems handbook
  2. 02Technical assessment and outcome roadmap
  3. 03A project definition for the recommended next step

Application Managed Services

Ongoing operation, stabilization, and small controlled changes for an application the business cannot pause.

  1. 01Transition and stabilization
  2. 02Operate, with incidents and releases handled
  3. 03Small, controlled changes and periodic review

Modernization

The smallest change that works: upgrade, refactor, replatform, or replace one part at a time.

  1. 01No rewrite by default
  2. 02Each stage shippable and reversible
  3. 03Benefits measured against an agreed baseline

New product development

When the answer is a new system

Sometimes Discovery shows that a new system, or a new capability alongside the old one, is a better answer than changing what exists. We then scope the new product from the Discovery evidence: the users, the workflows, the data, and the systems it must connect to.

Explore the opportunity

What could your application team do with more room to move?

Explore how AI-assisted engineering could free capacity for the changes your business needs. Start with a research-informed example, then adjust it to your situation.

Choose your priority to put the numbers in the context of your decision.

Your inputs

These are example values. You can replace them; nothing is sent or saved.

Fixes or bounded improvements; major modernization needs its own scope.
Include analysis, implementation, testing and review.
Optional. Use your own blended cost, not an Aleph price.
20% means a 5-day change could take 4 days. It is an editable example informed by a 2026 software-delivery case below.
Typical delay outside engineering work, such as an approval or release window. We use the same delay in both estimates.
Optional. Add extra people, tools or operations during a transition; leave blank if unknown.

Potential change capacity

Research-informed illustration — not based on your system.

Current change work60 engineering days / year€54,000 / year7 working days per change, including waiting
AI-assisted illustration48 engineering days / year€43,200 / year6 working days per change, including waiting

12 engineering days of potential capacity per year. Those days could go toward safer releases, reducing a backlog, or delivering a needed capability. They become a cash saving only if actual spending falls.

Running both approaches

No extra parallel cost entered. The figure above covers engineering work only; include extra old-system and new-approach costs if both must run together.

How the estimate works

Current work = 12 changes × 5 engineering days = 60 days per year.

AI-assisted illustration = 60 days × (100% − 20% possible time saving) = 48 days per year. This covers the whole change, including review.

Engineering cost = annual engineering days × €900 loaded day cost.

Elapsed time per change = engineering days for one engineer + 2 waiting days in both approaches. Release windows and external dependencies are outside this estimate.

Published measures to explore

Recent results show different ways AI can help teams deliver and support software. Each figure belongs to its own setting and measure.

  • 20–25% less IT development effortVodafone Idea and IBM, 2026 report this across a delivery model serving more than 150 applications; they also report 15% shorter end-to-end development time. The widget starts at an editable 20% illustration, not a Vodafone result for your application.
  • 26% more completed tasks2026 field experiments combined results from 4,867 developers at Microsoft, Accenture and another large company given access to an AI coding assistant. Completed-task volume is not the same as time or cost saved.
  • 75% shorter incident resolutionIn a recent Cognizant managed application support case, reported resolution time fell from eight to two hours after AI-assisted engineering and service changes. It measures incidents, not annual AMS cost.

These are published case results and a research study, not Aleph customer outcomes. For your application, a useful baseline would track change effort, incidents, service continuity and costs separately.

Turn an illustration into a useful plan

An Application Managed Services (AMS) engagement would define ongoing support, coverage, incident handling and small controlled changes for your application. Its value may be continuity and capacity, not a lower bill. The calculation excludes transition, monitoring, coverage, hosting and service fees.

Standalone Application Modernization is separately scoped and can address a capability gap or a material technical risk. The existing system may need to run during a staged transition, under a named operating owner. Discovery can establish your baseline, identify suitable work, and test where AI assistance helps. Engineers still review AI-assisted work, and no customer data is sent from this widget to a model or external service.
