Engineering modernization you can trust.
5NINE Data Solutions exists to help organizations modernize complex environments safely — using engineering discipline, environment truth, and delivery rigor instead of guesswork.
We’ve seen the real failure modes: hidden dependencies, rushed cutovers, security controls added too late, and roadmaps built on assumptions. Our work is built to reduce that risk — and make modernization predictable.
Our approach to modernization
Most modernization failures don’t come from lack of tools — they come from changing systems without understanding dependencies, risk, or operational reality. We start with truth, then modernize in safe phases.
Truth before transformation
Model dependencies, constraints, and blast radius before touching production.
Safety over speed
Fast change that breaks mission systems isn’t success. Sequencing matters.
Vendor-neutral by design
Good engineering decisions shouldn’t depend on tool allegiance.
Execution matters
Architecture is only useful if teams can run it in production.
Artifacts you can defend
Documentation and traceability built for stakeholders, audits, and continuity.
Phaseable delivery
Plans that align to operational constraints, schedules, and procurement reality.
What we do
High-level capabilities — the details live on the Services page.
Modernization engineering
Cloud and hybrid architectures, wave planning, and operational readiness.
Services →Security-aware architectures
Zero Trust and access patterns designed to work in production environments.
Services →DevSecOps enablement
Pipeline modernization and safe control insertion readiness.
Services →Data migrations & platform transitions
Integrity gates, cutover planning, and rollback-ready execution.
Services →Data center exit & roadmaps
Phased modernization plans built on dependency truth and delivery reality.
Services →Modernization intelligence
Decision support grounded in environment truth — so teams know what’s safe to change.
Why we built CloudReadyAI
Modernization decisions are often made using spreadsheets, assumptions, or tool outputs that don’t model real dependencies. We repeatedly saw programs fail because teams didn’t know what was safe to change. CloudReadyAI was built to model modernization truth — not to recommend products.
- Built from real modernization failure modes
- Vendor-neutral and tool-agnostic
- Focused on safety, sequencing, and risk reduction
- Designed to support engineers — not replace them
- Dependency-aware grouping and blast radius modeling
- Roadmaps grounded in constraints, not templates
Who we support
We work where modernization is constrained — and where failure has real consequences.
Commercial enterprises
- Modernization planning and execution across legacy, hybrid, and cloud environments
- Risk reduction through dependency truth, sequencing, and operational readiness
- Delivery artifacts teams can run: validation steps, runbooks, stabilization
Federal agencies and mission partners
- Security-aware architectures and phased modernization built for continuity constraints
- Documentation rigor and traceability suitable for government stakeholders
- Vendor-neutral engineering that works across multi-prime environments
Prime contractors & system integrators
- Modernization engineering support that accelerates delivery without vendor bias
- Architecture + sequencing artifacts suitable for government review
- Dependency truth and blast-radius reduction to prevent downstream outages
How we work
Simple, repeatable, and built for real operational constraints.
1) Understand the environment
Inventory, constraints, and “do-not-touch” zones so the team starts from truth.
2) Model risk and dependencies
Coupling, blast radius, and sequencing constraints to reduce modernization surprises.
3) Execute in safe phases
Phased delivery with validation gates, cutover readiness, and operational stabilization.
Trust & credibility
Lightweight, real signals — focused on competence, not logos.
