I'd combine the responses of Didier and James, create and/or improve documentation of legacy applications especially those where SME's have or are about to retire, then refactor/optimize as a step towards modernization. The last step, if that's on the roadmap, is to transform where you may want to take your legacy application and transform it into a more 'modern' platform.

GenAI helps us reverse engineer undocumented legacy systems and lower the cost and risk of replacing them.

I've seen one too many vendors try to pitch AI application modernization tools.  I would first start with an application rationalization exercise using the Gartner TIME methodology.  Once you identify the Invest/Mitigate/Eliminate applications, you then can look at tools to modernize the applications.

Application support via ChatGPT has been great for me. When I want to accomplish something via any commercial application and I ask ChatGPT and it’s way better than almost every applications built in HELP or trying to Google tips.

We are looking into it for our in house applications but that’s going to take more work than we first thought

Has anyone had any success with evaluating the impact of using Generative AI tools such as GitHub's Copilot on the productivity or performance impact on developers? I see a lot of qualitative discussions about how developers say they are more productive, but how are you measuring that impact?

We are dealing with a specific issue in our VDI non-persistent environment, which operates using Omnissa Horizon (formerly VMware). We are employing a hybrid join for authentication that integrates ADFS and Entra ID.   Here are the details of our problem:   1. **Environment**: VDI non-persistent using Omnissa Horizon 2. **Authentication Method**: Hybrid join with ADFS and Entra ID 3. **Issue**: Users are experiencing difficulties authenticating to Microsoft 365 apps within the virtual machine. The authentication process gets stuck in a loop when attempting to access the smartcard. I would appreciate any insights or experiences from others who have encountered similar issues or have a similar environment working successfully.
