Legacy System Decommissioning, Risk-Free.
Automate data migration validation, dependency mapping, and cutover orchestration for legacy system retirement with deterministic AI your IT team trusts.
Describe It in English.
It Runs Deterministically.
Overview
Inventory legacy system dependencies and data flows; validate that all critical data has been migrated to the target system; orchestrate the cutover sequence and verify post-decommission integrity.
Execution Steps
Map Dependencies and Data Flows
- Scan network traffic and API call logs to identify all systems consuming data from the legacy application
- Build a dependency map showing upstream sources, downstream consumers, and integration touchpoints
Validate Data Migration
- Compare record counts, checksums, and sample data between the legacy system and the migration target
- Flag discrepancies where migrated data is missing, truncated, or transformed incorrectly
Orchestrate Cutover
- Execute the cutover runbook in sequence: freeze writes, perform final delta sync, switch DNS or API routes, and verify
- Monitor the target system for errors post-cutover and generate a decommission completion certificate
Enterprise
Use Cases
Data Migration Validation
Automatically compare source and target systems during legacy decommissioning to ensure every record migrated completely and accurately.
Dependency Mapping
Discover and document all systems that depend on the legacy application so nothing breaks when the old system goes dark.
Cutover Runbook Automation
Execute multi-step decommission runbooks in the correct order, freeze, sync, switch, verify, with rollback safeguards at each stage.

Questions
Kognitos is a leading US-based artificial intelligence platform designed to transform how businesses operate by automating repetitive tasks and enhancing efficiency. Our AI automation platform allows users to automate complex business processes simply by communicating their goals in plain English. Leveraging advanced technologies like a proprietary LLM-based interpreter, Intelligent Document Processing (IDP), Optical Character Recognition (OCR), and Natural Language Processing (NLP), Kognitos enhances productivity, speed, and accuracy. Unlike traditional automation solutions that require complex coding, Kognitos offers unparalleled adaptability and scalability, empowering businesses to streamline workflows and eliminate manual tasks without extensive technical knowledge.
Security is a core principle of Kognitos’ architecture, built on state-of-the-art cloud services with strong security foundations. Critical business processes run on the Kognitos platform, and we prioritize the security of both the processes and their data.
Kognitos employs serverless, cloud-based services with the principle of least privilege access. For example, a service without a need to access a database does not have access to it.
Kognitos has achieved the SOC 2 Type II certification for our best-in-class security controls and compliance with the AICPA’s Trust Services Criteria. Learn more

Defunct automation questions.
What can I automate between Kognitos and Defunct?
Read, transform, and write data with deterministic policy, exception routing in plain English, and full audit trail. Common patterns include data hygiene, bidirectional sync, periodic reconciliations, and exception handling that escalates to a human in Slack or Teams. Kognitos reads from Defunct, applies the policy you wrote in plain English, and writes back deterministically with a full audit trail, no probabilistic LLM action.
How does Kognitos connect to Defunct?
Through Defunct's official API using scoped credentials (OAuth or API key, depending on which Defunct supports). Kognitos stores credentials in a managed secret store with rotation; permissions are limited to what your automation actually needs.
What events in Defunct can trigger a Kognitos automation?
Common triggers include an inbound webhook, a record change, a scheduled job, or a Human-in-the-Loop handoff from another Kognitos automation. Kognitos supports both event-driven (webhook) and scheduled execution, and you can mix both inside a single automation.
Can business users build Kognitos + Defunct automations without code?
Yes. The Kognitos Builder Agent walks you through the process in conversation; you describe what you want in English (e.g., "every weeknight, reconcile Defunct records against the warehouse and email me anything that doesn't match") and Kognitos generates and runs the automation. No drag-and-drop, no Python, and no third-party iPaaS.
Is Defunct data safe with Kognitos?
Yes. Kognitos is SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA-attested, ISO 27001-certified, and GDPR-aligned. Defunct data is processed inside the customer tenant, encrypted in transit and at rest, never used to train upstream models, and every decision is captured in an immutable English-language audit log.
How do I get started with the Kognitos + Defunct integration?
Book a 30-minute demo. We'll help you connect Defunct, pick a real bottleneck from your team's backlog, and ship a working automation written in plain English in the first session, no procurement runway required.
