    Description

    Opening a decade-old LISP file is like entering an ancient tomb: You half-expect a curse if you move a parenthesis but, instead, you find how more than 1,300 people get work done. This "staple" launch sequence has been our firm's silent engine for more than 10 years, staying rock solid, even as we grew sixfold in size. In this case study, the original architect and a new innovator will share how we collaborated to honor this foundation while using AI to drive productivity. We'll dive into modernizing legacy AutoCAD and Civil 3D code and providing IT with AI-enhanced detailed reporting and problem-solving. Join us to learn how to balance stable history with the future innovation required for the next decade.

    Key Learnings

    • Learn management principles to sustain custom software through years of enterprise growth.
    • Learn about collaborating with the original developer to modernize automation without disrupting productivity.
    • Learn how to transform legacy automation into actionable data that solves critical IT bottlenecks.
    • Gain practical insights into using AI to accelerate legacy LISP and Python enhancements.
