A Shropshire-based technology start-up has launched a platform aimed at helping organisations modernise legacy IT systems, as businesses face growing challenges integrating AI with outdated infrastructure.<\/p>\n
Interrupt22, founded by former Capgemini AI lead James Tennant alongside Ben Scowen and Charlotte Morris, has developed an agentic AI platform designed to map and update legacy systems more quickly and with reduced operational risk.<\/p>\n
The platform is intended to address a common issue for large organisations, where older, complex systems\u2014often poorly documented and difficult to maintain\u2014are slowing down digital transformation and increasing costs.<\/p>\n
James Tennant, co-founder and technology & product director at Interrupt22 said: “Businesses across the country can see what AI offers and want to get involved, but they simply can’t if their infrastructure is outdated. Maintenance costs are climbing and the experts are retiring. Their skills are literally walking onto the golf course. Traditionally, the solution has been long and arduous. Our solution provides a team of AI agents which work with an organisation\u2019s own experts understand the legacy system and enable quick, safe, and cost-effective modernisation so businesses can focus on the opportunities AI has to offer.”<\/p>\n
The launch comes as both public and private sector organisations continue to grapple with the cost and complexity of maintaining legacy technology.<\/p>\n
Ben Scowen, co-founder and delivery & commercial director said: \u201cIn early 2025, the UK government estimated that taxpayer-funded services were missing out on \u00a345bn in productivity savings largely due to a dependency on old and outdated technology. The numbers could be just as high for business. Interrupt22 is committed to helping clients unlock these savings and driving growth.\u201d<\/p>\n
Alongside the platform, the business is offering advisory and training services to support organisations adapting to AI-led development models, including guidance on team structures and implementation.<\/p>\n
The company said its platform has been developed using advanced AI models and is focused on helping organisations modernise systems more efficiently while preparing infrastructure for future AI adoption.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
