Modernization & automation consultancy
We modernize legacy architecture, automate the work nobody should be doing by hand, and move ambitious teams off rented SaaS onto self-hosted, open-source systems they actually control.
Average recurring spend removed in year one of a migration.
From diagnostic to a production workflow doing real work.
Every system we hand over runs on infrastructure you own.
The thesis
Every seat, every per-record fee, every "enterprise" tier gate is a line item that grows while your leverage shrinks. Your data lives on someone else’s server, your workflows bend to someone else’s roadmap, and the exit cost climbs by design.
There is a better posture. Modern open-source tooling has quietly caught, and in many categories passed, the incumbents. Paired with sharp automation and AI where it earns its place, you can run leaner, move faster, and stop renting the ground you stand on.
We don’t sell you our platform. We build you yours, then hand you the keys.
What we do
We map what you actually run, find the load-bearing walls, and re-platform without the big-bang rewrite that sinks most modernization efforts.
The manual copy-paste, the reconciliation spreadsheets, the 2am report exports. We find the highest-friction workflows and automate them into reliable, monitored pipelines.
AI where it moves a number: retrieval over your own knowledge, drafting, classification, and copilots. Deployed on infrastructure you control, never leaking your data to train someone else’s model.
A category-by-category exit plan off rented SaaS onto self-hosted equivalents, with your data extracted, validated, and running on infrastructure that answers to you.
How we work
No open-ended discovery. No 200-slide decks. Every phase ships something real and pays down risk before the next one starts.
We inventory systems, spend, and workflows. You get a ranked map of what’s costing you money, time, and control, and where the fastest wins are.
A target architecture and migration sequence designed for zero-downtime cutover. No big-bang rewrites, no theoretical diagrams that never ship.
We build and ship the highest-ROI automations first, so the engagement pays for itself before the migration is even finished.
Category by category, we move you onto self-hosted open source: data validated, workflows re-pointed, nothing lost, everything owned.
Runbooks, training, and the keys. Your team can run and extend everything without us. Retainer support is optional, never load-bearing.
Proof
Who we work with
You don’t have a platform team. You have a few people wearing every hat. We give you enterprise-grade automation and infrastructure without the enterprise burn rate or the vendor babysitting.
You have the budget and the scars from the last transformation program. We work inside your compliance and change-management reality, ship in increments, and leave your teams more capable than we found them.
Objections, handled
No. We use a strangler-fig approach: new systems run alongside the old, traffic shifts gradually, and you can stop or reverse at any checkpoint. Big-bang cutovers are how modernization projects fail; we don’t do them.
Done naively, yes. We deploy with infrastructure-as-code, automated backups, monitoring, and update pipelines, then hand you runbooks. Most clients spend less time maintaining owned systems than they did managing SaaS vendors and renewals.
Only where it moves a metric: retrieval over your knowledge base, document processing, internal copilots. We deploy models on infrastructure you control so your data never becomes someone else’s training set.
Then we haven’t finished. Enablement and documentation are part of every engagement, not an upsell. The goal is independence, including from us.
Start here
A focused, fixed-fee assessment. You walk away with a ranked map of your systems, spend, and automation opportunities, yours to keep whether or not we work together.
No sales sequence. A real engineer reads every request.
