Transaction processing since 1977
Senior, U.S.-based engineers embedded inside bank, credit union, and payment-processor teams — to stabilize, lift, and cut over the systems most consultancies won't open.
Decades of work inside U.S. financial institutions from $25B to $250B in AUM
Twelve-week, fixed-fee engagements that lift one workload off the mainframe. Discovery, build, parallel-run, cutover, runbook — scoped and priced before week one.
Bit-level trace-down on live 8583 traffic, dispute pipeline repair, HSM key-rotation failures, terminal certification. We've shipped on every major card switch.
Hogan, FIS Profile, Fiserv DNA, Jack Henry SilverLake, Symitar/Episys. Side-system replacement, M&A cutover, vendor swap — we plug in the week you call.
Why now
The median COBOL maintainer at a U.S. bank is past 55. By 2030 the supply curve breaks again. The systems they keep alive — core banking, ATM switching, dispute processing, AML batch, settlement — are not moving on that schedule. Most won't move this decade.
Most banks already feel the gap. One retirement becomes a six-month vacancy. Modernization roadmaps slip a quarter, then two. Full-time COBOL hires are slow and expensive; offshore vendors burn the first ninety days on ramp and the next ninety on rework.
We're the fractional alternative. We've already worked on your stack. We bill by the project, not the seat. We start in days, not quarters.
No deck, no proposal-by-Friday pressure. Tell us what's stuck. If we can help, we'll say so. If we can't, we'll tell you who can.
