WEBINAR · LACE OS + CORTEX

Escape Data Legacy. Modernize with AI.
Run at Peak Efficiency.

Legacy platforms drain budgets and block innovation yet migrations that ignore the economics of the target platform just move the problem to the cloud. Modernisation and efficiency must be designed together.

In 60 minutes we show how LACE OS and CORTEX combine AI-powered modernization and FinOps to transform data estates, including a live demo of agents at work.

THE DATA ESTATE DILEMMA

Modernize legacy data platforms in weeks, then keep them lean.
LACE OS gets you off the legacy estate.
CORTEX makes sure the move pays off.

LACE OS puts AI agents to work on your legacy data estate. They find where your data lives, extract business logic, map lineage, convert code to your target stack and check output parity, with a human review at every stage. Once you’re live, CORTEX brings a FinOps strategy to the new platform. It gives every team, project and workload clear cost accountability and runs a continuous optimization cycle that cuts spend and improves performance together.

LEGACY · TECHNICAL DEBT
10–20%

of every new project budget goes to fixing broken foundations, not delivering value. More than half of data engineering effort is maintenance, not innovation.

CLOUD · COST

Unpredictable

Cloud invoices swing month to month with little warning. Without visibility by team or project, nobody is accountable for waste, and problems surface only after they hit the business.

WHAT IT COSTS TODAY

Standing still

Undocumented logic, fragile ETL, unmapped dependencies. Manual rewrites and lift-and-shift stall. Every quarter without visibility is a quarter of unmanaged waste, exactly the problem this session shows how to solve.

AGENDA · 60 MINUTES

Leave knowing how to escape legacy without taking the waste with you.

Three acts, a live demo with AI agents, and a concrete six-week starting point.

TWO FRAMEWORKS, ONE JOURNEY

Modernize what you have. Control what it costs.

LACE OS

LACE OS · AI-DRIVEN DATA MODERNIZATION

The first agentic AI operating system built to modernize enterprise data platforms. Specialized agents cover SAS, Oracle, SAP BW and Hadoop, and every output goes through human review before moving forward.

CORTEX

CORTEX · FINOPS FOR DATA PLATFORMS

A continuous view of how efficiently your data platform runs and what it costs, in euros, by team, project and workload. Every recommendation ranked by savings potential. Runs entirely on your own infrastructure.

LACE OS + CORTEX · RESULTS
~34%
avg. estimated performance improvement per fix applied, based on 82 quantified rules, e.g. up to 100% for unbounded collect
90%+
faster issue detection vs. manual code/table review
100%
of findings include a concrete fix recommendation — never just “here’s a problem”
WHO IT’S FOR

For large organisations where critical logic is locked in legacy and the cloud bill keeps climbing.

  • CDOs, CIOs and heads of data
  • Data platform and engineering leads
  • CFOs and FinOps teams
  • Enterprise and data architects
  • Transformation and modernization program owners
  • IT operations and platform owners
