Coforge Expands Engineering Services with New zTPF Center

Coforge Limited, a global digital services and solutions provider, today announced the launch of its z/Transaction Processing Facility (z/TPF) Center of Excellence (CoE) within its Advanced Engineering Services unit to accelerate modernization of mission-critical transaction systems in industries such as Financial Services, Aviation, Hospitality, and Retail. The CoE uses a suite of AI powered tools designed specifically for the needs of complex modernization programs to help enterprises modernize faster, with greater reliability and lower risk.

For decades, industries such as airlines, travel, financial services, railways, and hospitality have relied on Transaction Processing Facility (TPF) systems—a specialized mainframe environment that powers billions of real-time, high-volume transactions every day. As these sectors face increasing pressure to upgrade legacy platforms, support real-time digital operations, and strengthen compliance and resilience, the new CoE becomes essential. Aligned with Coforge’s strategy of deep sector specialization, the CoE will provide agentic AI frameworks and domain expertise to help organizations transition their TPF environments into modern, cloud-ready, AI-enabled digital ecosystems.

“Mainframe systems like z/TPF have historically operated in isolation from the rapid advances in AI-driven automation,” said Sunil Fernandes, Chief Delivery Officer and Head of Engineering, Coforge. “With our new Center of Excellence, we’re addressing one of the most complex challenges in enterprise computing—combining deep mainframe expertise with AI-driven engineering to unlock agility, resilience, and performance for our clients’ most critical systems.”

The z/TPF CoE will modernize mission-critical transaction platforms across Coforge’s core verticals by integrating AI-enabled engineering, automation, and cloud-ready architectures.

In financial services, it will elevate real-time authorization, fraud management, and trading systems through intelligent automation, improving efficiency, accuracy, and compliance.

In travel and aviation—where z/TPF continues to power global reservation, ticketing, loyalty, and baggage operations—the CoE will help modernize passenger service systems, reduce operational latency, and enhance digital customer experiences.

To accelerate these modernization programs at scale, the CoE offers an integrated suite of capabilities, including:

• Automated code rationalization for z/TPF including Assembler, TPF-C, ALCS, with up to 80% automation
• Database modernization from TPFDF to relational systems with up to 50% automation
• Platform transformation from mainframe to open systems across on-prem, cloud, or hybrid environments

This framework preserves complete business logic fidelity while embedding enterprise-grade governance, security, and a platform-agnostic GenAI architecture to ensure resilient, compliant, and scalable modernization. Coforge’s CodeInsightAI, an AI-powered engineering platform, will accelerate legacy system transformation to analyse complex codebases, extract business logic, and enhance code quality—reducing modernization time and cost. 

Additionally, the Center will function as a talent development hub, with upskilling engineers in z/TPF, cloud-native architectures, and AI-driven engineering to bridge the industry-wide mainframe talent gap. The combination of deep domain expertise, AI accelerators, and engineering excellence reinforces Coforge’s commitment to helping global enterprises modernize the mission-critical systems powering commerce, travel, banking, and customer experiences worldwide.
