Mechanical Orchard: Our approach

At Mechanical Orchard, our priority is in replicating the behavior that runs your business today. We pick a component of your system to find out what it does, and recreate it in the cloud. Once we’re confident that it’s equivalent, we turn it on – one critical piece at a time.

Modernization is tricky.

But there is a wealth of evidence showing that companies who succeed in doing so fare immeasurably better on everything, from employee satisfaction to market valuation.

Yet, over 70% of legacy system modernization projects fail. Why? They all assume that an old system can both be replaced and completely reimagined at the same time.

Our priority is on replicating the behavior that runs your business today. We start small: we pick a component of your system to find out what it does and recreate it in the cloud. When we’re confident that it’s equivalent, we turn it on – one critical piece at a time.

The result? A solid foundation for continuous modernization that doesn’t mess up what’s already working.
