Data and AI Readiness, Not Just Code Conversion
Article content
“Modernization is more than converting code and migrating from green screens. Data and AI readiness now shape almost every decision our customers make,” said Pete Czornohus, Chief Commercial Officer at Fresche. “These environments need AI that understands context and dependencies, not a general-purpose tool that guesses. It has to return the same answer over and over.”

More than 2,200 organizations rely on Fresche today. Across that customer base, the company has delivered more than 800 modernization projects and over 1,000 roadmaps, cutting complexity, improving uptime and recovery, lowering IT costs, and giving teams faster access to analytics and insight.

That depth of expertise is a major reason so many of those relationships continue well past a first engagement. A large share of Fresche’s customers return for additional services as their needs evolve, expanding from an initial modernization project into managed services, cloud, security, and data analytics engagements.

The Next 50 Years: Data, Analytics, and AI
Article content
Looking ahead, Fresche is doubling down on data, analytics, and AI across IBM i and Microsoft environments. The company has already introduced its Fresche Analytics MCP Connector, which links business data to conversational AI so teams get real-time answers and dashboards while governance stays intact. This fall, Fresche will expand that lineup with OpsIQ, an AI assistant that helps IBM i operators identify and resolve system issues faster, and the X-Modernize AI Web App, which puts code conversion directly in customers’ hands, letting teams convert RPG, Synon, and COBOL applications themselves.

X-Modernize AI itself launched in November 2025 as Fresche’s third generation of RPG and Synon modernization technology, built on 20 years of modernization expertise and combined with AI to help customers convert legacy applications more efficiently.
