What clients say after the jobs run green
Names and sectors are used with permission. We include mild reservations where they reflect honest delivery.
The readiness review called out our phantom FTP job—the one everyone assumed HR owned. That single line item prevented a failed cutover.
— Lerato S., integration lead, regional bank
James pair-programmed our strangler router tests until our juniors could extend them. I wish the first week's timezone juggling had been smoother; once Naledi joined stand-ups locally, pace picked up.

They declined to quote a full rewrite when rehost plus batch offload was enough. Rare honesty from consultants.

Case note: policy admin migration
A client retained a 2004 policy administration module while newer channels sold through a separate web stack. Silicon Relay mapped fifty-two batch dependencies, then coached three internal developers through monthly extraction releases. Parity tests compared commission accruals to the cent across 2019–2023 portfolios.
Outcome: legacy module decommissioned with two planned rollback drills and zero unplanned reversals. Hypercare covered the first month-end close on the new runtime.
Case note: municipal billing interface
Field crews still keyed meter reads into a thick-client app while a modern hub waited upstream. We documented charset mismatches in flat files and rebuilt validation in a staging lane before production traffic switched. Operators received laminated rollback steps at the handover session.
