Situation

Years of machine-configuration knowledge lived in XML documents inside a system scheduled for retirement. Re-creating it by hand as decision logic and configuration rules in the replacement platform meant months of expert time.

Conceptual delivery summaryProduction rollout in progress

Context

  1. Legacy XML
  2. Manual re-creation
  3. Decision logic and rules

UTIS contribution

  1. Legacy XML
  2. LLM/NLP conversion
  3. Migration interface

Simplified workflow. The case text describes the contribution, delivery stage and evidence.

02 / Inside the engagement

What UTIS did

  • Co-built, with the client team, an LLM/NLP pipeline that reads the legacy XML and generates the decision logic and configuration rules the new platform needs.
  • Built the migration interface on the target platform and deployed it with Terraform on AKS.
  • In parallel, built and demonstrated a Databricks-centric MLOps framework with example workflows, and a supplier-risk assessment agent for the procurement function.

03 / Inside the engagement

Results

  • 80–90% pipeline accuracy with ~70% less manual workload (joint client–UTIS team result).
  • Migration interface deployed and demonstrated; production rollout in progress at time of writing.
  • The risk agent is projected to cut manual review time by ~35% once adopted.

Why it matters to you

Retiring a system does not have to mean re-authoring everything it knew. An LLM pipeline can carry the meaning of legacy documents into the structures a new platform requires, with experts reviewing rather than retyping.

How we measured it: accuracy assessed by the joint team against expert-authored references; the workload and review-time figures are the team's estimates.
