Mercedes-Benz uses agentic AI to accelerate mainframe migration alongside its SAP move to AWS
Mercedes-Benz Group AGAWS TransformMercedes-Benz is migrating its SAP landscape to AWS for RISE with SAP and uses agentic AI, including AWS Transform, to refactor remaining mainframe applications by converting COBOL to Java. The source reports developers' higher satisfaction with AI-assisted tools and that the OneERP application moved to the cloud in nine months; it gives no figure attributing speed-up to the AI tools.
Overview
Mercedes-Benz is migrating its SAP landscape to AWS for RISE with SAP and uses agentic AI, including AWS Transform, to refactor remaining mainframe applications by converting COBOL to Java. The source reports developers' higher satisfaction with AI-assisted tools and that the OneERP application moved to the cloud in nine months; it gives no figure attributing speed-up to the AI tools.

Inspect the highlighted sourceThe challenge
Mercedes-Benz has a fragmented and outdated global SAP landscape, with many solutions existing twice or multiple times around the globe, which drives enormous operational effort and maintenance and upgrade costs. It is also preparing to modernize its remaining mainframe estate.
The solution
Mercedes-Benz is migrating its SAP landscape to AWS for RISE with SAP and is migrating its remaining mainframe applications to AWS, refactoring code with support from agentic AI, especially when converting COBOL to Java using tools such as AWS Transform. Its development teams are also increasingly using AI-supported developer tools.
Reported business value
According to the case study, agentic AI is especially impactful when converting COBOL to Java using tools such as AWS Transform, leading to more efficiency and productivity and a much faster migration process, and developers report higher satisfaction as AI helps address routine questions and processes such as testing documentation and code-generation. The source gives no figure attributing speed-up to the AI tools. Separately, the OneERP application was migrated to the cloud in nine months.
