About
We exist to fix both.
CV Systems, LLC was founded in 1977 by engineers who built and ran transaction-processing software for the largest U.S. banks. We saw what happens when senior maintainers retire and no one is left who can read the COBOL — let alone change it safely. We saw modernization budgets evaporate while the systems they were supposed to replace kept running. We saw M&A integrations slip from six months to eighteen.
We built CV Systems to be the firm we wished existed when we were on the inside: a small, senior, U.S.-based bench, billing by the project, with the muscle memory to walk into a room and stabilize a system inside three weeks.
We are not a body shop. We are not a slide consultancy. We are not a vendor relationship. We are a fractional engineering team you can call by name.
Average tenure on our bench is 22 years. Minimum is 12. We don't ramp junior engineers on your dollar.
100% U.S. employees. No offshore handoff at 5 p.m., no time-zone-shifted day shift. Cleared for FedRAMP-adjacent work.
Fixed scope, fixed fee, milestone-based progress. We don't sell hours we don't need to use, and we don't pad bench time.
Founder · Houston, TX
Forty-plus years inside the COBOL and mainframe stacks at U.S. banks and payment processors. Built, shipped, and ran production software for Check Processing Control Systems (CPCS), POS and ATM switches, card management, fraud monitoring, and dispute processing — across IBM mainframe and iSeries.
Founded CV Systems, LLC in 1977 to deliver the same work as a fractional bench: same engineers, same stacks, less friction.
