AI-Ready Modernization
Make what you already run AI-ready, secure, more agile, and less costly to maintain. Application modernization the way the category leaders define it, at a price and pace built for the mid-market.
Modernization improves what exists.
The industry definition matches ours: taking existing applications and modernizing their platform, architecture, and features. That is our boundary too: modernization improves what exists. Where the answer turns out to be something new, our Solution Development practice picks it up from there.
Hybrid and multicloud.
We modernize across AWS, Azure, and GCP, and across the estate you run yourself: datacenter, colocation, and other on-prem. Your estate decides the platform mix, not our partner incentives.
AI-ready is the headline. Agility, security, and cost reduction come with it.
More agile
Modern platforms and clean interfaces make change cheap. Releases get faster and safer, and new capability lands in weeks because the platform stops fighting you.
More secure
DevSecOps built into the work, not bolted on after: hardened platforms, scanned pipelines, and a smaller attack surface than the legacy estate carried.
Less costly to run
FinOps discipline per component: run-cost measured before and after, so you can see exactly what modernization frees up.
Every serious program starts with an assessment. Ours has a fixed price.
The industry consensus is that every serious modernization program starts with an application assessment that plots value against effort and starts where payback is highest. We agree; we just sell it differently. The big firms sell you an assessment tool or an enterprise program. We sell the outcome.
An AI Discovery & Assessment that plots value against effort across the solution area you pick. Selective by Design: we triage every workload A/B/C and only recommend modernizing where the return justifies it. Moving applications just to move them has no ROI, and we will tell you which ones to leave alone. We agree the scope together before work starts. Also in the Microsoft Marketplace.
Book a Discovery & AssessmentPiece by piece, never big-bang.
One workload at a time
Piece by piece, per-workload fixed prices, no big-bang risk. Weekly sprints with demo-ready progress you can see.
Per-component decisions
Replatform vs rehost decided per component. Monolith-to-microservices where it pays, expose-via-API where it doesn't.
Interior work overnight
Well-scoped increments advance overnight with our AI engineering team, inside the fixed price, not a tool license. Access is scoped to the work and guided by you; how that works.
AI accelerates the work. The result is ready for AI.
AI accelerates the modernization itself: our overnight AI engineering team ships it as a fixed-price service, not a tool license. And the result is an estate ready for AI to run on: AI-ready and secure first, fixed price always, with cost reduction woven into the outcome.
Enterprise discipline, mid-market economics.
The same discipline the enterprise firms sell as multi-year programs, delivered as selective, fixed-price, mid-market engagements with a 4-week assessment entry and payback economics.
We've done this at scale.
Led by Cohort's founders while at Microsoft: modernization programs for organizations from the Danish Defense to Energizer. The same triage discipline now runs every Cohort assessment.
Cohort holds Microsoft Solutions Partner designations for Infrastructure and for Digital & App Innovation (Azure). The AI Discovery & Assessment is available in the Microsoft Marketplace.
After the engagement
Every engagement ends with something your team can run without us: documented code in your repositories, tests that pass in your pipeline, and a working handoff with your engineers. If your team can't maintain it, we didn't finish.
What modernization returns.

Those benchmarks are the industry's, not just ours. Yours come out of the AI Discovery & Assessment: value against effort, per component, before you commit to anything.
