Scale with confidence on a
reliable foundation.
Rapid growth as an organization is traditionally a good problem, but it can backfire quickly without the technology support needed to sustain it. Without absolutely disrupting your workflow, we optimize your current technology and rebuild only what’s necessary. Our sustainable approach relies on modular programming and recycling good code for faster, more flexible foundations whether you’re serving 10 users or 10 million. Our team is platform agnostic and starts by identifying your key systems and ideal process flows to make honest recommendations about what you’ll need to scale. From there we develop a plan of execution and maintenance to make sure that tech is the least scary part of your growth.

Frequently Asked Questions.
The reason for platform modernization is typically sparked by issues, concerns or impediments that have been created by the legacy application as a result of its technology, architecture or functionality.
Three of these drivers come from a business perspective: business fit, business value and agility. If the legacy application is not meeting the new requirements imposed by digital business, it needs to be modernized to fit properly, and should be upgraded to provide greater business value. Applications that lack the agility to keep pace with the demands of digital business may be a cost or risk liability.
Most data migration strategies can be categorized into two categories:
- “Big Bang” Migration - Full data transfer in a time-boxed event. Generally best suited for smaller applications where systems overlap is minimal.
- “Trickle” Migration - Our preferred migration strategy where your soon-to-be “old” platform overlaps with your “new” platform. We write migration scripts that incrementally update your new platform with data from your old platform either with manual or automated triggers.
There are several factors that dictate which strategy may be used for your specific application, a few of them include:
- Data Audit to ensure accuracy of our migration strategy avoid unexpected issues
- Data Cleanup to address discovered issues and resolution prior to migration
- Data Mapping to appropriately transition your old architecture with the new
- Data Protection strategy to establish controls in place to maintain quality
- Data Governance to establish automated functions post a successful migration
