A Safer, Trusted Way to Modernize and Increase Federal Efficiencies

Mechanical Orchard is changing federal IT modernization through a trusted, incremental approach that eliminates risk and avoids operational disruption. While most legacy transformation efforts are marked by high cost, uncertainty, and sweeping “big bang” rewrites, Mechanical Orchard offers a safer path—one grounded in discipline, transparency, and continuous progress. Our methodology focuses on behavior-first modernization, replacing legacy systems gradually while ensuring each change maintains exact system functionality. This approach not only mitigates risk but allows agencies to demonstrate measurable progress quickly—a critical need in today’s environment of budget constraints, aging infrastructure, and mounting pressure to modernize responsibly.

At the core of this methodology is Imogen, our AI-powered platform purpose-built for mainframe modernization. Imogen captures real-time system behavior and uses deterministic AI to generate modern, cloud-ready code—code that is continuously tested and validated to ensure it functions as intended. With Imogen, modernization efforts are fully transparent: agencies have real-time visibility into progress, behavior equivalence, and code quality through an intuitive interface designed for oversight and accountability. This approach empowers federal agencies to modernize without disruption, vendor lock-in, or dependency on legacy specialists. It supports cloud migration, CI/CD adoption, and long-term system resilience—while keeping mission-critical services fully operational.

Mechanical Orchard’s proven methodology is already resonating across federal agencies, including those seeking to implement Software Factory principles. We bridge the gap between transformation and stability, offering an efficient, low-risk way to modernize at scale. With Mechanical Orchard, agencies can move forward confidently—preserving what works, modernizing what’s needed, and positioning themselves for long-term success.
