Coforge has launched its z/Transaction Processing Facility (z/TPF) Center of Excellence (CoE) to accelerate the modernization of critical transaction systems. Using AI-powered tools, the CoE will focus on industries like financial services, aviation, and retail, helping enterprises modernize faster and more reliably. The CoE integrates AI-enabled engineering and automation to transition environments into modern, cloud-ready ecosystems, improving efficiency and reducing risk.
Center of Excellence Launch
Coforge Limited has announced the launch of its z/Transaction Processing Facility (z/TPF) Center of Excellence (CoE) within its Advanced Engineering Services unit. This initiative aims to accelerate the modernization of mission-critical transaction systems across various industries.
Focus and Capabilities
The CoE will concentrate on sectors such as Financial Services, Aviation, Hospitality, and Retail. It will use a suite of AI-powered tools designed to modernize faster and with greater reliability. The CoE’s capabilities include:
* Automated code rationalization for z/TPF, including Assembler, TPF-C, and ALCS, with up to 80% automation.* Database modernization from TPFDF to relational systems, achieving up to 50% automation.* Platform transformation from mainframe to open systems across on-premise, cloud, or hybrid environments.
Strategic Alignment
The CoE aligns with Coforge’s strategy of deep sector specialization, offering frameworks and expertise to transition TPF environments into modern, cloud-ready, and AI-enabled digital ecosystems.
Executive Commentary
Sunil Fernandes, Chief Delivery Officer and Head of Engineering at Coforge, stated, “With our new Center of Excellence, we’re addressing one of the most complex challenges in enterprise computing—combining deep mainframe expertise with AI-driven engineering to unlock agility, resilience, and performance for our clients’ most critical systems.”
Modernization Focus
The z/TPF CoE will modernize mission-critical transaction platforms by integrating AI-enabled engineering, automation, and cloud-ready architectures. This includes:
* Elevating real-time authorization, fraud management, and trading systems in financial services.* Modernizing passenger service systems in travel and aviation.* Reducing operational latency and enhancing digital customer experiences.
Technology and Framework
Coforge’s CodeInsightAI, an AI-powered engineering platform, will accelerate legacy system transformation by analyzing complex codebases, extracting business logic, and enhancing code quality, thus reducing modernization time and cost.
Talent Development
The Center will also function as a talent development hub, upskilling engineers in z/TPF, cloud-native architectures, and AI-driven engineering to bridge the industry-wide mainframe talent gap.
