Publicis Sapient & Google Cloud
Sapient AI for Applications: Application Modernization
Accelerate Legacy Modernization with AI-Powered Automation and Google Cloud
Offering Summary
Legacy systems and mainframes slow down innovation, increase costs, and expose businesses to operational risk. Publicis Sapient, in partnership with Google Cloud, delivers a streamlined path to modern cloud-native architectures using AI-driven automation.
We help enterprises automatically refactor legacy code, modernize application stacks, and implement secure CI/CD pipelines—reducing manual effort, minimizing disruption, and accelerating time to value.
