Caylent Accelerate™ Modernizes Legacy Databases on AWS 3x Faster with Built-In AI Automation

AI-powered solution automates up to 70% of the migration process to help enterprises modernize faster—without the risk; breaks vendor lock-in and eliminates licensing costs IRVINE, Calif., June 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Caylent, an Amazon Web Services (AWS) Premier Tier Services Partner, today announced Caylent Accelerate™, an AI-powered solution that enables organizations to modernize their legacy databases up to three times faster than previous approaches. Designed to derisk and speed up complex database migrations by moving to open source databases on AWS, Caylent Accelerate helps customers eliminate licensing costs, lower total cost of ownership, reduce risk, and unlock modern cloud-native capabilities faster. Legacy databases—especially proprietary systems—are a costly barrier to business growth. These systems account for over $200 billion in annual licensing spend and contribute to more than $2 trillion in technical debt across U.S. enterprises. However, migrations to open source alternatives are notoriously slow, manual, and error-prone, often requiring niche expertise and months of effort—factors that lead many organizations to delay the modernization necessary to innovate and scale their business. Caylent Accelerate directly addresses these challenges with a highly automated, AI-first approach that delivers a 70% reduction in manual effort. Built on Amazon Bedrock and powered by large language models (LLMs), Caylent Accelerate translates complex SQL code, maps dependencies, generates test cases, and delivers migration-ready output with expert oversight. This combination of AI and human-in-the-loop validation ensures speed, accuracy, and business continuity. Bobby Land, chief product and technology officer at Teamfront, a strategic partner for founder-led software companies, and a Caylent customer, said, "Caylent Accelerate allowed us to seamlessly migrate from SQL Server to Aurora PostgreSQL with AWS instances—with minimal disruption and immediate access to modern, scalable infrastructure. Without it, manually migrating and testing each stored procedure would have required thousands of hours of effort. Caylent Accelerate™ cut through the complexity and dramatically reduced the migration effort, achieving a time savings for us of over 90%." Unlike "lift-and-shift tools" or other traditional approaches, Caylent Accelerate fast-tracks both the technical execution and strategic outcomes of modernization. It eliminates licensing costs, shortens project timelines, and enables enterprises to consolidate technology stacks for greater operational efficiency. With seamless integration into Amazon Aurora, Amazon RDS, and Amazon Redshift, Caylent Accelerate helps organizations unlock open, scalable, AI-ready infrastructure that supports long-term growth and innovation. "We designed this solution to automate the hardest parts of database migration—from translating stored procedures to validating new code," said Lori Williams, CEO at Caylent. "With Caylent Accelerate, we're collapsing the time it takes to eliminate technical debt and freeing our customers to focus on building what's next. This is the future of services: productized expertise, purposeful automation, and a relentless focus on outcomes that scale."

Calgary Police Commission won't say if former chief received severance pay

The Calgary Police Commission has declined to say if former chief Mark Neufeld received a severance payment after he resigned this spring with two years left on his contract. CBC News asked the commission if Neufeld was paid out for the remainder of his two years under contract, and received a statement in response. "While the Calgary Police Commission certainly understands the interest in Chief Neufeld's recent resignation, we are not legally able to provide any further details as it is a confidential personnel matter," it reads. Ward 7 Councillor Terry Wong was also asked about severance pay for Neufeld but did not provide any details. "You have to appreciate employment contracts are employment contracts between an organization and a person's individual rights," he said. CBC News first reported Neufeld's resignation on May 2, after it obtained a copy of an email sent to members of the force letting them know his resignation had been accepted. Neufeld was sworn in on June 10, 2019. His contract was supposed to run until 2027. Political analyst argues police should provide more answers Lori Williams, a political analyst at Mount Royal University, said it's "entirely appropriate" for taxpayers to expect more information about severance payments for high-profile public figures. "There's an understandable expectation on the part of the public that this information be available," she said. "They also want to know, especially at a time when affordability is such an issue for many people, that their precious tax dollars are being spent wisely." Williams added the lack of information raises questions about the reasons for Neufeld's departure from the force. "The fact that there aren't any answers forthcoming does lead to speculation that something untoward occurred," she said. "We have no idea." Williams also said it's important that the Calgary Police Service manages concerns raised by the public to maintain public trust. The City of Calgary and CPS have provided details on severance pay for executives on some previous occasions. Mayor Jyoti Gondek's former chief of staff, Stephen Carter, received approximately $100,000 in severance pay after he was dismissed in 2022. Severance pay numbers were also made public when two deputy police chief positions were eliminated by former police chief Rick Hanson after he took charge of the force in 2007. One former deputy chief, Dean Young, received $362,744 in severance pay. Another, Peter Davison, took home $341,923.
