Core-system replacement is the highest-stakes program most institutions ever run: multi-year, existential if it fails, and impossible to pause halfway. We lead modernization programs where the migration itself is the risk — banking cores, policy administration, ERP estates that have calcified over decades.
Our teams are deliberately bilingual: partners who have run technology organizations, working alongside engineers who read the code. We scope by decommissioning date, not go-live date — a system is not modernized until the old one is switched off.
Estate assessment, landing-zone design, and migration factories that hold their cutover dates.
Selection, contract, and delivery assurance for the systems the institution cannot live without.
Post-merger and post-sprawl rationalization — one platform, one data model, a real decommissioning list.
Delivery-organization diagnostics: cycle time, quality, and the management system around both.
Adoption of the vendor standard is the default, and every deviation needs a business case at partner level. Data migration is a first-class workstream from month one, rehearsed at full volume until the cutover weekend is routine.
Scope by the decommissioning date, not the go-live. Governance and the exception process are set before design starts, migration rehearsals begin before the build is finished, and the legacy switch-off is in the charter as the definition of done.
Full-volume rehearsals completed, cutover time against the runbook, the share of the estate on vendor standard, and the months from go-live to legacy decommissioning with its run cost released.
