iSpell combines AI automation with human expertise to deliver 50% faster migrations at 50% lower cost. Unlike manual approaches that rely entirely on human effort (slow, expensive, error-prone) or pure automation attempts that miss nuances, iSpell uses AI to accelerate discovery, extraction, and generation while incorporating human validation at critical checkpoints. This gives you both speed and accuracy—something traditional approaches cannot match.

iSpell migrates FROM legacy platforms including BizTalk, TIBCO, Informatica, WebMethods, Altova, IBM DataPower, and IBM Sterling Integrator. We migrate TO modern iPaaS solutions: Boomi AtomSphere, MuleSoft Anypoint. Our platform coverage continues to expand based on market demand.

Timeline depends on the number and complexity of integrations, but iSpell reduces migration time by approximately 50% compared to manual approaches. A typical enterprise migration that might take 18-36 months manually can be completed in 6-12 months with iSpell. Stage 1 (Discovery) provides accurate timeline estimates for your specific landscape.

Phased migration is our recommended approach. Stage 1 (Discovery) covers your entire landscape to provide complete visibility. Stages 2 and 3 execute per integration, allowing you to prioritize and migrate in controlled waves—minimizing risk and maintaining business continuity throughout the process.

iSpell handles custom code with varying degrees of automation based on complexity. Basic custom logic is typically accommodated and automated through our AI agents. For medium complexity scenarios, many can be customized and accommodated with minimal manual intervention. Highly complex custom programming may require some manual refinement post-generation. Regardless of complexity level, all custom code details, logic patterns, and transformation requirements are thoroughly captured and documented in the comprehensive report summary, ensuring full transparency and enabling informed decision-making.

iSpell delivers up to 90%, 80%, and 70% accuracy for simple, medium, and complex workflows respectively. The generated code is production-ready but we recommend one round of manual review and a few enhancements from a code optimization and custom error handling standpoint before deploying into higher environments. This human validation step ensures the highest quality standards while still maintaining significant time and cost savings over fully manual approaches.

Yes. iSpell includes comprehensive testing capabilities through iTestSpell.i for API and EDI integrations. Our 150+ member integration practice provides full support through deployment, including testing strategy, environment setup, cutover planning, and post-migration support. You're not just getting a tool—you're getting an experienced team.

Your team provides business knowledge validation during Stage 2 (semantic extraction), participates in testing and acceptance, and coordinates deployment planning. The AI handles the heavy lifting of analysis and code generation, while your team focuses on business-critical decisions and validation. This is far less resource-intensive than traditional manual migrations.

Pricing is based on your specific migration scope, which becomes clear after Stage 1 Discovery. Unlike traditional approaches with unpredictable overruns, iSpell provides fixed-scope pricing based on accurate discovery data. Contact us for a discovery assessment and custom quote for your environment.

Three compelling reasons: (1) Legacy platforms are reaching end-of-life with diminishing vendor support, (2) Modern integration infrastructure is essential for AI initiatives—without it, AI investments are built on crumbling foundations, (3) Migration complexity and cost only increase over time as systems age and knowledge is lost. The best time to modernize was yesterday; the second-best time is now—with iSpell making it faster and more affordable than ever.
