Legacy systems have supported critical government programs for decades, but they were not built for today’s scale, security needs, or expectations for fast, digital public services.

Slalom’s new guide, produced with AWS, shows state and local leaders how to modernize core systems with clarity, safety, and measurable impact. Agencies are now using AI-enabled tools, structured modernization frameworks, and a human-centered approach to reduce risk, accelerate delivery, and prepare for the next generation of resident services.

In this guide you’ll learn how to:

• Understand why legacy platforms are putting critical infrastructure and service continuity at risk
• Use AI and automation to map dependencies, analyze code, and accelerate modernization timelines
• Apply a phased modernization approach that protects mission continuity at every step
• Strengthen cybersecurity and compliance through AWS’s governance-ready foundation
• Reduce operational costs and eliminate technical bottlenecks tied to aging mainframes
• See how agencies in motor vehicles, eligibility, and public safety have modernized without disruption
