Legacy Software Limited
Your organisation runs on data that few people can see and fewer can describe the same way. We document your applications and give everyone, from developers to auditors, one agreed business vocabulary linked to every system and document.
Your teams find answers in minutes, not weeks, because the Directory scans the code itself and maps every program, file, job and database to the data it uses.
Explore the Directory → Naming WorkbenchEveryone means the same thing by "Customer Account Number", because the Workbench sets one agreed name for each business term and links it to the field in every system.
Explore the Workbench →Decisions rest on facts, not folklore.Every answer is traced to the source code and the rule that produced it, so you can sign it off and show it to a regulator.
IT and the business finally speak the same language.One agreed vocabulary is shared by systems, policies, reports and catalogues, so meetings stop arguing about what a field means.
Nothing is replaced and nothing is disrupted.Both products read what you already have, so production systems keep running untouched.
Two products, one picture
Use either product on its own, or both together: the Directory tells you what exists and where, and the Workbench tells everyone what it means.
Your applications are documented automatically and kept current, because the Directory reads the source rather than relying on what people remember.
Your whole organisation shares one vocabulary, because every business term is agreed once and linked to the systems and documents that use it.
Who it's for
A documented estate and a shared vocabulary pay off wherever people ask what the organisation holds and why.
Because each field is classified and traced to the programs that use it, subject-access requests and data maps start from fact.
Because every name, decision and approval is recorded with who made it and why, the trail is already there when auditors ask.
Because the agreed vocabulary is published company-wide, the terms in policies, procedures and dashboards match the systems behind them.
Because the Directory maps how data flows between programs, jobs and databases, the impact of a change is known in advance.
Because business names travel with the export, new systems get readable tables and code from the first day.
Because the glossary and semantic model are generated from approved names, AI tools work from your definitions.
Why rules-based
You can sign off our output because every result is produced by transparent rules you can inspect. Where AI helps, it suggests; your experts decide.
