What we deliver  01

Platform modernization

A controlled move from legacy systems to a supported platform, with data integrity and service continuity protected. Migration, integration, cutover and decommissioning run as one piece of work, and the old system stays in service until the new one is accepted.

Typical length
Four to nine months, discovery included
Platforms
Dynamics 365, Salesforce, ServiceNow, SAP, Oracle, Power Platform and custom builds
Investment basis
Fixed price discovery, build confirmed after it

01  In practice

From the current system to the new one

Example. The actual design is set during discovery.

02  Who it is for

  • A line of business system that is out of support or no longer fits how you work
  • Several overlapping applications that should become one
  • A move from on premises software to a cloud platform you have already chosen
  • A platform decision made, with no internal team free to run the migration

03  What you get

  1. 01

    Current state inventory

    Applications, data, integrations, users and the processes that depend on them.

  2. 02

    Target design

    The platform configuration, data model and integrations the new system needs.

  3. 03

    Migration plan and rehearsals

    Data mapping, trial loads and a reconciliation report for each rehearsal.

  4. 04

    Cutover runbook

    The steps, owners, timings and the rollback point for go live.

  5. 05

    Released system

    Built in a mirror of your environment, released from a gold copy with a release record.

  6. 06

    Decommissioning record

    What was retired, when, and where its data now lives.

04  Investment

Indicative investment

Canadian dollars, before tax. Confirmed after discovery, based on complexity, integration requirements, delivery scope and your environment.

DiscoveryFrom $13,500Fixed price, three to four weeks.
Build$108,000 to $405,000Typical range, confirmed after discovery.
Run, if neededFrom $4,050 a monthOr a handover to your team with no ongoing fee.

Scope assumptions. The lower end is one application replaced on a platform you already license. The upper end is several connected systems consolidated, with more data to migrate and more integrations to rebuild.
