Autosys to Apache Airflow Modernization

Hexaware’s Autosys to Apache Airflow Modernization offering provides a comprehensive solution to migrate legacy Autosys job scheduling workloads to a modern, scalable, and cloud-native workflow orchestration platform using Apache Airflow. Powered by Hexaware’s proprietary Amaze® accelerator, this offering combines deep automated assessment, AI-driven conversion, and rigorous validation to enable enterprises to drastically reduce costs, improve agility, and future-proof their workload automation infrastructure.

Key Features:

Comprehensive Assessment and Discovery

Begin with a detailed automated assessment of your existing Autosys environment, including job inventories, dependencies, embedded business logic, and workflow complexity. This phase delivers valuable insights into migration readiness, risk factors, and optimization opportunities through a fully automated scanning and analysis process.

Pilot Migration of 100 Jobs

Conduct a pilot migration where 100 representative Autosys jobs are converted into Apache Airflow DAGs using the Amaze® automation platform. This validates the conversion approach, performance improvements, workflow integration, and functional parity, ensuring minimal disruption and solid business outcomes before scaling.

Amaze®-Powered Automation

Amaze® drives up to 70% automation in converting Autosys jobs including complex dependencies, shell scripts, calendar triggers, and job chains into reproducible, code-driven Airflow DAGs. This reduces manual errors, accelerates timelines, and lowers the overall migration cost.

Modern, Cloud-Native Architecture

Employ Apache Airflow running on managed AWS MWAA or containerized Kubernetes platforms to provide elastic scalability, high availability, intelligent retry mechanisms, SLA enforcement, and enhanced observability through unified monitoring and lineage tracking.

Security and Compliance

Incorporate enterprise-grade security through role-based access control, secrets management, and audit logging. Ensure adherence to regulatory requirements with clear governance models around workflow execution and access.

Business Benefits:

Significant Cost Savings

Eliminate expensive Autosys licensing and reduce operational overhead, achieving into the range of 30-50% total cost of ownership (TCO) reduction by shifting to an open-source, cloud-native platform.

Accelerated Time-to-Market

Accelerate deployment of new or modified workflows by 40-60% using Airflow’s DAG-as-code capabilities combined with CI/CD automation, enabling business responsiveness and innovation.

Improved Visibility and Governance

Gain unified monitoring, lineage, and auditability of workflows across your enterprise. Enhanced troubleshooting and SLA management result from Airflow’s rich UI and observability features.

Reduced Operational Complexity

Simplify maintenance through reusable operator libraries, standardized templates, and modular DAG design, which also improves developer productivity and knowledge transfer.

Outcomes:

Clients adopting this offering will receive detailed assessment reports and results from a validated pilot migration of 100 jobs, providing confidence for enterprise-wide rollout. Hexaware’s expert-led, automation-powered migration journey mitigates risk, reduces manual effort, and unlocks scalable, future-proof workflow orchestration on Apache Airflow. Clients benefit from improved operational efficiencies, accelerated modernization, and cloud agility aligned with strategic business objectives

Pricing: 50k USD, Duration: 6 weeks

Deliverables: Autosys to Apache Airflow Modernization offering follows a structured approach beginning with a 1-week discovery workshop, followed by an initial automated assessment and detailed report delivered within the same week. The offering includes a pilot migration of 100 selected jobs executed over 2-3 weeks to validate the migration strategy and outcomes. Finally, within one week, the pilot results are reviewed to finalize a comprehensive, full-scale migration roadmap. This phased pricing model ensures clear milestones, risk mitigation, and aligned investment based on proven pilot success.
