Learn more →How we work
Three steps, every time — so modernization decisions are safe, defensible, and executable.
Discover truth
- Inventory the environment (infra, apps, integrations)
- Surface constraints and “do-not-touch” zones
- Establish a shared modernization baseline
Model risk & dependencies
- Identify coupling and critical paths
- Quantify blast radius and change risk
- Define safe sequencing constraints
Execute in safe phases
- Build phased roadmaps driven by safety
- Use validation gates and rollback readiness
- Deliver artifacts and outcomes teams can run
Service details
Cloud Modernization
Modernize from legacy and hybrid environments to cloud-ready operating models with engineering rigor, safe sequencing, and operational readiness.
What we deliver
- Target architectures (hybrid → cloud)
- Landing zones & foundational patterns
- Wave planning & cutover readiness
- Ops readiness (monitoring, access, runbooks)
- Hybrid connectivity & identity integration patterns
- Risk-managed execution planning
Where we plug in
- Strategy & architecture (advisory)
- Engineering execution (implementation)
- Program acceleration (modernization backlog)
- Artifacts suitable for enterprise and federal teams
Zero Trust / Secure Access
Plan and implement identity-first access and segmentation without breaking critical mission flows — using dependency-aware control placement.
What we deliver
- Segmentation planning & dependency-aware enforcement
- SDP/ZTNA placement planning and rollout sequencing
- Identity-first access patterns aligned to operations
- Control placement without breaking critical flows
- Phased adoption plan with validation gates
Where we plug in
- Zero Trust strategy → implementation planning
- Deployment sequencing and hardening support
- Architecture artifacts and governance alignment
DevSecOps Enablement
Modernize pipelines and safely insert controls so security improves without slowing delivery — built for teams at different maturity levels.
What we deliver
- Pipeline modernization and platform patterns
- Security control insertion readiness (scan, policy, gates)
- Automation patterns for repeatable releases
- Governance integration and audit-friendly artifacts
- Release hardening and documentation
Where we plug in
- Platform + application teams modernization support
- Security and delivery alignment for real constraints
- Execution or advisory-only engagement
Data Migrations
Move data safely with validation gates, cutover planning, and rollback-ready execution — across cloud and hybrid environments.
What we deliver
- Migration strategy and wave grouping
- Validation gates + rollback planning
- Integrity, performance, and cutover readiness
- Cloud/hybrid data movement patterns
- Runbooks / MOPs suitable for regulated teams
Where we plug in
- Pre-migration discovery and risk planning
- Execution support during migration windows
- Post-migration validation and stabilization
Data Center Exit & Modernization Roadmaps
Create phased modernization roadmaps built on safety constraints, dependency truth, and delivery reality — not generic templates.
What we deliver
- Workload grouping based on dependency truth
- Phased modernization roadmaps (safety-first)
- Sequencing and constraints documentation
- Prioritization of “safe wins” vs high-risk changes
Where we plug in
- Portfolio modernization planning
- Program sequencing and delivery alignment
- Mission impact and operational safety optimization
Architecture & Engineering Delivery
Engineering execution discipline across modernization efforts — with clear artifacts, traceability, and outcomes your teams can run in production.
What we deliver
- Architecture artifacts and target-state plans
- Engineering implementation support and hardening
- Documentation rigor (plans, runbooks, validation steps)
- Risk-managed change execution
Where we plug in
- Standalone modernization engagements
- Augmenting internal teams and prime partners
- Federal-ready delivery posture and traceability
Modernization Intelligence (CloudReadyAI)
5NINE built CloudReadyAI to solve the hardest problem in IT modernization: knowing what you can safely change. CloudReadyAI is vendor-neutral and tool-agnostic. It does not recommend products — it analyzes your environment and tells you the safest modernization path regardless of tooling choice.
- Zero Trust / SDP placement analysis
- API gateway (APIM) placement analysis
- DevSecOps pipeline insertion readiness
- Legacy system modernization targeting
- Data center exit and workload grouping
- Dependency blast radius modeling
- Phased modernization roadmaps based on safety, not guesswork
- Change sequencing informed by environment truth
