Automate Software Documentation
Generation & Application Analysis

Gain a foundational understanding of your applications using Intellisys as your automated code documentation tool. Analyze and keep this knowledge current in the platform as changes are made.

Reliable software documentation is crucial to maintaining and modernizing software applications. It is also a significant tool for IT departments when imparting knowledge to incoming developers and support personnel. 

The Intellisys platform uses a custom trained AI/ML technology developed and refined over 15+ years to extract all embedded knowledge from source code in 20+ languages. This information is then used to automatically generate a set of documentation artifacts that provide a detailed assessment of the applications processed. The level of detail provided serves as a necessary foundation for the success of future modernization efforts.

The same software documentation is kept current by periodically processing any changes made to the applications. The platform also provides robust automated application analysis features. The result is accuracy with enormous savings in time and cost due to automation.

Automated Software Documentation

Intellisys reverse-engineers source code using AI/ML technology to generate a series of reports, diagrams, and logic representations. These artifacts provide a detailed view into the composition, database access details, and logic of the applications processed. Clients rely on this data to protect their assets and prepare for modernization.

This documentation is:

Supported for applications written in 20+ languages. Includes COBOL, Assembler, Powerbuilder, Java, C#.NET, RPG and more.

Standard for all applications no matter what the programming language is.

Generated in formats and a neutral language that can be understood by analysts and any programmer.

Intuitive and Thorough Code Analysis

Use documentation reports to identify areas of code that are no longer in use, are redundant, or are complex and may be simplified.

Additionally use the platform’s analysis features to:

FAQ

What programming languages and technologies does Intellisys support?

Intellisys supports applications written in 20+ programming languages, making it one of the most versatile legacy platforms for application analysis. Whether your codebase is built on COBOL, PL/I, Java, C, C++, RPG, or other languages, Intellisys can analyze, document, and surface critical insights without requiring the original developers to still be on staff.

This is one of the most common challenges in legacy modernization, and exactly the problem Intellisys was built to solve. When institutional knowledge walks out the door, Intellisys steps in. The platform uses 100% automated documentation generation to analyze your source code directly, producing detailed artifacts that explain the composition, logic, and database interactions of each application component. No developer interviews, no manual analysis, just comprehensive documentation derived entirely from the code itself.

Intellisys produces a rich set of documentation artifacts designed to give your team complete visibility into legacy systems, including:

  • Application overview — structure, components, and interdependencies
  • Database access details — how and where data is read, written, and modified
  • Business logic documentation — what each program or module actually does
  • Program-level call trees and flow diagrams
  • Change impact analysis reports via trace features

Together, these artifacts form a detailed knowledge base for your application portfolio.

Documentation generation in Intellisys is fully automated from the client’s perspective, meaning there is no manual effort required on your side to produce the initial artifact set. Turnaround times vary based on portfolio size, but the AI and automation-first approach means teams receive actionable documentation 95+% faster than traditional manual analysis methods.

Documentation artifacts from Intellisys directly feed your modernization strategy. They enable your team to accurately assess technical health, map application dependencies, identify business-critical logic, and assign the right modernization path (rehost, refactor, rearchitect, etc.) to each system. Instead of making strategic decisions based on incomplete knowledge, you go into planning with a verified, code-derived picture of your entire application landscape, reducing risk and increasing confidence at every phase of execution.

Yes. Intellisys is designed to maintain living documentation throughout a modernization project or as part of ongoing application management. As code changes are made, the platform can regenerate and update the relevant artifacts, ensuring your documentation stays current rather than becoming stale the moment the project begins. In addition, the platform provides reports to show where changes in the code have been made and if those changes have affected any modernization work performed.
