Legacy Barrier: Capgemini Raises Outlook Due to IT Modernization Boom for AI

Massive adoption of artificial intelligence has run into an architectural dead end from past decades. On July 30, 2026, international IT integrator Capgemini raised its financial outlook for 2026, recording the start of a multi-year boom in corporate system modernization.

The reason for this growth is of critical importance for the B2B sector. Capgemini analysts noted: before deploying autonomous AI agents (Agentic AI) or implementing hybrid LLMs, big businesses are forced to massively rewrite outdated legacy code and restructure isolated databases. Integrating modern neural networks on top of twenty-year-old systems is impossible. As a result, consulting giants receive a colossal stream of orders to rebuild IT infrastructure, which guarantees stable revenue for integrators even before purchasing the AI licenses themselves.
