“Toyota Motor North America faces challenges of updating 40-year-old mainframe applications that support a majority of our supply chain. The transformation capabilities of Amazon Q Developer have been a revolutionary solution for us. The powerful documentation, code analysis, and decomposition capabilities provided by AWS give us a clearer understanding of our application landscape. We’re able to generate detailed documentation of hundreds of COBOL modules, including context-aware information and persona-driven insights, in less than a day. Amazon Q Developer has done what many said was impossible.”

“Here at Signaturit, we are looking to modernize our legacy .NET code in order to move from Windows to a Linux operating system. Modernization has been a challenge from a resource and prioritization perspective, and we leaned into Amazon Q Developer to help assist with these initiatives. We started transforming our components responsible for license management, which would have been slated for a 6–8 month project timeline, but Amazon Q Developer’s capabilities for .NET porting helped us complete this project in a few days. Without Amazon Q, Developer, this application modernization initiative, whose outcome is very valuable to us, would most likely have been be delayed or de- prioritized. Amazon Q Developer has introduced a new world for modernization at Signaturit and is a service that our developers are excited to use to continue to modernize applications across our portfolio.”
