§ 01 — Services

What we clear.

The backlog that's been stuck for years. The projects your vendor can't prioritize. The technical debt that keeps compounding.

01

Legacy Integration Cleanup

The EDI feeds. The batch jobs. The file drops.

The reality: Critical business processes running on SSIS packages, FTP file drops, or Access databases someone built in 2008. The person who built it left. Nobody knows exactly how it works. Everyone's terrified to touch it.

Typical scope: Full Program (8–12 weeks)

What gets done

  • Document what actually exists (not what the wiki says)
  • Refactor to modern patterns — event-driven, API-based, observable
  • Proper error handling and monitoring
  • Graceful migration path — no big-bang rewrites
02

.NET Framework → .NET 8 Migration

Stop patching vulnerabilities. Start deploying to containers.

The reality: Running on .NET Framework 4.x. Can't use modern libraries. Security vulnerabilities accumulating. Can't containerize. Can't move to the cloud properly. Your vendor quoted 6 months and it's been 18.

Typical scope: Full Program (6–10 weeks) or Focused Project (3–5 weeks for smaller apps)

What gets done

  • Dependency audit — what breaks, what migrates clean
  • Incremental migration path — not a rewrite
  • Update or replace incompatible packages
  • Test coverage where it matters
  • CI/CD integration for the new stack
03

API Modernization

SOAP → REST. REST → GraphQL. Legacy → Usable.

The reality: SOAP services from 2012. REST APIs that return 47 fields when the mobile app needs 3. Integration partners complaining. Internal teams waiting. Everyone agrees it needs to happen. Nobody's doing it.

Typical scope: Full Program (enterprise-wide) or Focused Project (single domain)

What gets done

  • Design new API contracts
  • Build adapters for legacy backends
  • Versioning strategy
  • Deprecation path for old endpoints
  • Documentation that developers actually use
04

Database Performance

Reports in minutes, not hours.

The reality: Reports take 40 minutes. Pages timeout. The DBA added indexes. Still slow. Nobody wants to touch production. The 'archive old data' conversation happens every quarter and nothing changes.

Typical scope: Focused Project (3–6 weeks)

What gets done

  • Query analysis and execution plan review
  • Index strategy that actually works
  • Schema refactoring where needed
  • Data archival implementation
  • Performance monitoring baseline

“This is often the fastest win — visible results, builds trust for larger work.”

05

Monolith Decomposition

Extract services without the 18-month rewrite.

The reality: Giant monolith. Slow to deploy. Hard to scale. Every change risks breaking something else. Your team talks about microservices. Your vendor proposed an 18-month rewrite. Nothing has actually moved.

Typical scope: Full Program (ongoing, phased)

What gets done

  • Identify bounded contexts
  • Extract one service at a time (strangler fig pattern)
  • Define API contracts between services
  • Build deployment pipeline for new services
  • Keep the business running while we work

“We know when NOT to decompose. Sometimes the monolith just needs to be cleaned up, not exploded.”

Add-On Service
06

Automated Testing

50 tests that work — not 500 tests you'll ignore.

The reality: Your offshore team built 500 tests. Half are flaky. Half are broken. Nobody trusts the suite. The tests don't run in CI. Regressions still hit production.

Typical scope: 2–4 weeks startup + ongoing maintenance available

What gets done

  • Test framework setup (Playwright — fast, reliable, AI-friendly)
  • CI/CD integration — tests run on every PR
  • Core user journey coverage
  • Maintainable architecture (page objects, not brittle locators)
  • Knowledge transfer so your team can extend it

07

AI Project Wins

Get an AI win on the board. Without reshuffling your team.

The reality: Leadership wants AI progress. Your team is already fully committed to the roadmap. The AI initiatives keep slipping — not because they're hard, but because nobody has the headroom, and the senior people who'd architect them are already holding up current work.

Typical scope: Focused Project (3–6 weeks) — fixed-fee available

What gets done

  • We pick a scoped AI project with real business value — not a demo
  • Delivered end-to-end on a separate track from your team's roadmap
  • Production-ready handoff: working code, documentation, knowledge transfer
  • Your team owns it from day one — without having to pause current work to build it
  • Something concrete to show upward — not a slide deck about AI strategy

“The point isn't to be your AI team. It's to land the first win, unstick the pipeline, and leave your team with working code to reference for the next one.”
