Platform Modernization
Many companies build products on legacy systems. These systems work, but underperform. Deciding what to modernize and where to invest presents a wide variety of challenges. 3Pillar’s approach to Platform Modernization encourages us first to understand your business goals. Then, through a process of discovery and refinement, we help you envision a target state, define a roadmap and the team to implement it.
Our architects and engineers teams are masters at guiding you from strategy to implementation, ensuring that your business’s products can compete in the digital economy.
What we can do for you.

Enable
InnovationKeeping up with the digital economy requires the ability to excel at change and innovate. The speed at which you can introduce new features is directly related to the decisions you make about modernizing your infrastructure. Our teams work with you to optimize your platform decisions for innovation. -
Strengthen Consistency & StabilityLegacy platforms are becoming increasingly unstable. Our clients are choosing to migrate to more modern platforms to provide a predictable, stable experience for their customers. Our architects will work with you to understand why stability is so critical to your business and help you make the decisions that will protect your company’s reputation. -
Empower
Decision MakingOne of the hardest decisions our clients make is whether they should build a solution or buy and configure one. Both options have virtues, but navigating them is full of complexity. Our teams take into consideration your business goals, requirements and talent availability to help you make the most informed decision and minimize time to value.
