Modernize Autosys to Apache Airflow

Hexaware’s Autosys to Apache Airflow modernization offering empowers enterprises to transform legacy batch scheduling and orchestration with a cloud-native, scalable solution. Using our patented Amaze® accelerator, this program begins with a comprehensive assessment of your Autosys environment, covering workflows, job dependencies, embedded business logic, and integrations. Leveraging automated analysis, we deliver deep insights and a migration readiness report, enabling a data-driven modernization strategy.

As part of the offering, we pilot a pilot modernizing 100 critical Autosys jobs into Apache Airflow Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAGs). This validates performance, SLA adherence, and functional equivalence, while demonstrating the speed and accuracy of our AI-powered job conversion. Amaze® drives up to 70% automation, reducing manual effort, accelerating timelines, and ensuring secure, production-ready Airflow workflows. Beyond the POC, we collaborate with you to craft a detailed migration roadmap covering phased decommissioning of Autosys, scale-out Airflow deployments and enterprise-wide workflow modernization using reusable DAG templates and DevOps-enabled CI/CD pipelines. Our approach mitigates risks, preserves business continuity, and enhances workflow observability and governance.

Solution Portfolio Overview

• Automated Autosys job inventory, dependency, and complexity analysis
• Transformation of shell scripts, job chains, calendars, and triggers into Airflow DAGs
• Integration of Airflow with data platforms and APIs, adopting cloud-native event-driven architecture
• Testing, validation, and parallel run support ensuring smooth cutover and hypercare
• Reusable operator libraries and frameworks to speed future workflow development

Business Benefits

• Cut Total Cost of Ownership by 30-50% by eliminating commercial Autosys licensing fees and optimizing infrastructure
• Improve agility with dynamic, code-driven workflows enabling up to 60% faster development and rollout cycles

This service delivers a comprehensive assessment and pilot migration for your Autosys jobs to Apache Airflow. Begin with a focused 1-week discovery workshop to understand your current workload and environment. During the same week, we conduct an automated assessment and provide a detailed migration report. Over the next 2-3 weeks, we execute a pilot migration of 100 selected jobs to validate the migration approach and performance. Following the pilot, we review the outcomes and finalize a tailored migration roadmap within one week, setting you on a clear path to full-scale migration.
