Software Modernization Services

We're free for buyers. We earn referral fees from implementation partners after successful introductions. You never pay us directly, and our fees don't inflate partner rates—they come from the partner's existing sales budget.

We refuse pay-to-play models, sponsored rankings, and vendor badges. Partners can't buy better placement. Our intelligence is based on documented project data, reference calls, and failure mode research—not who pays the most.

We analyze 200+ implementation partners across cost structures ($500K-$5M project ranges), delivery timelines, technology specializations, and documented failure modes. We verify claims through reference checks and project post-mortems. See our full methodology at /about.

We publish what others hide: real cost ranges, timeline bands, and failure modes. Gartner charges enterprises $50K+ for reports. Clutch sells premium placement to vendors. We're free for buyers and refuse pay-to-play rankings.

Software procurement is broken. Buyers waste months on RFPs, get bait-and-switch pricing, and lack visibility into failure rates. We believe transparent intelligence should be accessible, not locked behind paywalls or corrupted by vendor payments.

For each modernization type, we publish: typical cost ranges, timeline estimates, common failure modes, technology-specific considerations, and partner fit criteria. We also document what partners refuse to disclose (red flags) and bait-and-switch tactics.

No. We refuse partners who: demand pay-to-play placement, prohibit publishing cost ranges, won't provide references, or have patterns of bait-and-switch pricing. If a partner isn't in our network, we'll tell you why.

We update cost ranges and partner capabilities quarterly. Migration guides reflect 2024-2025 technology stacks. When practices change (e.g., new AWS pricing, framework deprecations), we flag outdated sections and update within 30 days.
