We’ve all seen it: the heroic dive and catch to avert a major disaster. Less celebrated is the less glamorous work of doing the right things, day after day, to steer far clear of any potential self-inflicted crisis.

It’s time to celebrate those who have the courage to make the right choices, at the right time, in the service of decreasing risks to critical systems.

Lively and insightful conversation at our Mechanical Orchard dinner in New York two weeks ago, featuring software quality researcher Professor herb krasner. A few gems:

For financial companies in Europe, the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) will surface risks in their ICT estates. 

If you've been reluctant to modernize because of failed efforts in the past, the sheer magnitude and complexity of the estate, or simply because it takes longer than you want to spend at a particular company, talk to us.

We modernize legacy systems in a way that virtually eliminates risk and disruption—and creates elegantly-written, fully-integrated, well-tested applications free of technical debt and ready for the future.
