TCM Forward : AI Diagnostics & IT System Transformation
An action plan, not a promise. Where to start with AI in the enterprise ? We target together where the gain is real, and we deliver a costed roadmap in less than 2 months.
AI is everywhere, but where to start ?
The AI diagnostic helps you decide where to invest in your Information System (IT system) and prove the return before taking the plunge.
You face the "do AI" pressure
Management, market, competition : everyone is talking about it. You need a clear direction, not a gimmick project.
You don't know where AI really pays off
Not all use cases are created equal. You are looking to target those that generate a real and rapid ROI.
Your technical debt blocks all evolution
Impossible to plug AI into an opaque and fragile IT system. You must first audit and document what exists.
Your SaaS is costing you more and more
Exploding licenses, growing dependency. You are evaluating an exit and a custom alternative.
Your documentation has disappeared
Knowledge is in the heads of a few people. AI-assisted reverse documentation secures your IT system.
You must estimate costs before committing
No budget without a business case. You want a plan with costs, gains, and priorities, not just an intention.
The IT system transformation projects covered by the Forward AI diagnostic
The AI diagnostic is the assessment that aligns your IT system with your business priorities : reducing debt, securing knowledge, controlling costs, and plugging AI in where it pays off.<br /> From diagnostic to roadmap, here are the topics Forward addresses.

Assessment of your code and architecture : risks, hidden costs, remediation priorities.
Audit · Security · QualityAI-assisted Reverse Documentation
Automated reconstruction of your critical applications' documentation to secure knowledge.
AI · RAG · DocumentationExpensive SaaS Exit

Migration · TCO · CustomBusiness AI Agents Framing
We identify and prioritize the AI agents and assistants to plug into your IT system, and estimate their ROI. Implementation is then handled by our AI Integration and AI & Automation offers.
Framing · Prioritization · ROIThe AI technologies we evaluate for you
We frame with a real understanding of what will be deployed next.

Frequently Asked Questions about AI Diagnostics & IT System Transformation
Where to start with AI in the enterprise ?
With an AI diagnostic. Forward maps your IT system, your debt, and your data, then targets use cases with real ROI, before any investment.
What is an AI diagnostic ?
It’s the assessment that evaluates the potential of AI in your company: mapping the IT system and technical debt, identifying and prioritizing use cases, then a costed business case. Forward delivers it in less than 2 months, ready to deploy.
Is Forward's AI diagnostic compatible with Bpifrance's Diag Data IA ?
Our approach follows the same logic as the “Diag Data IA” scheme of the “Osez l’IA” plan (assessment, use cases, prioritization). Depending on your profile (SME, mid-cap), support of this type can be partially funded : we discuss this during the framing phase.
How long does a Forward framing take ?
Less than 2 months, from kick-off to the costed roadmap. A tight process, not an endless audit.
What is AI-assisted reverse documentation ?
The automated reconstruction of your critical applications’ documentation from existing code, to secure knowledge that is often dispersed.
How is Forward a "guaranteed source of savings" ?
We only prioritize projects with a measurable return: debt reduction, exiting an expensive SaaS, automation. Every recommendation is quantified.
What happens after the plan ?
You can execute it with your teams or link directly with TCM Forge: the framing was done by those who will deliver.
Do you need access to all our code and data ?
We frame the necessary access with you, under an NDA, respecting your security and confidentiality constraints (GDPR).
