Structured modernisation decisions for enterprise IT
ShiftAdvisor is a legacy modernisation decision platform. It structures the assessment process and produces clear, defensible recommendations — before large budgets are committed.
Why modernisation decisions fail
Enterprise IT leaders know legacy applications need to modernise, but lack a structured way to decide what to move to, how to sequence the work, and what risks sit inside the current estate.
Fragmented knowledge
Critical decisions rely on tribal knowledge held by one or two people. When they leave, the rationale leaves with them.
Vendor bias
Vendor-led assessments favour their own platforms. The recommendation is decided before the analysis begins.
No defensible recommendations
Without structured scoring, stakeholders cannot justify the chosen path. Large budgets are committed to approaches no one can defend.
How it works
Three steps. One assessment per application. Multiple applications scored against the same organisation context without re-establishing it.
- Step 1
Set context
Define your organisation profile in five minutes — strategic priorities, constraints, budget, timeline, and team capability. This context shapes how every application is evaluated.
- Step 2
Assess application
Provide application details in ten minutes — usage, integrations, data sensitivity, support model, and forcing functions. Upload artefacts and AI extracts metrics automatically.
- Step 3
Get recommendation
The scoring engine evaluates eight modernisation paths against your profile and organisation context. Receive three ranked options with a boardroom-ready PDF brief — instantly.
What makes ShiftAdvisor different
Encoded practitioner expertise
The scoring model is built from 25 years of system analysis and architecture experience. It encodes real practitioner judgement — not generic AI summarisation.
Deterministic scoring
Same inputs produce the same outputs, every time. Results are auditable, reproducible, and defensible in front of a steering committee.
Organisation-aware weighting
Scores are weighted by your specific priorities, constraints, and forcing functions. The recommendation reflects your strategy, not a generic framework.
