About this session
Becoming AI-ready starts with modernizing your legacy systems and technical debt — and keeping them modernized. We’ll show how you can use agentic AI to take on the hardest parts of modernization: analyzing large codebases, mapping dependencies, planning upgrades, refactoring safely, while doing it all at scale with enterprise controls. With GitHub Copilot modernization capabilities, you can move from legacy complexity to modernized apps in days, not months.
Speaker
General Manager, Product Marketing, Microsoft
Maria Bledsoe is General Manager of Product Marketing at Microsoft, writing and speaking about enterprise AI readiness, AI tools, and the practical foundations required to scale AI across organizations.
