Mechanical Orchard

For decades, enterprises have had to take on big modernization projects with massive budgets, years-long timelines, and uncomfortable levels of risk. That ends now. We’re unveiling the future of legacy modernization at Google Cloud Next '25.

Thank you again Rise8 for hosting Mechanic Nicholas Keune for his deep dive into how the Mechanical Orchard approach brings confidence to an age-old challenge. AI isn’t the silver bullet that everyone is hoping for. But AI combined with granular validation, data-driven equivalence, and an incremental approach? That changes the game. At Mechanical Orchard, we’re proving that AI-powered modernization doesn’t have to be a high-risk bet on a non-deterministic outcome. We’re doing it today—not with blind trust, but with proof at every step. Find out what’s up our sleeves at Google Cloud Next '25.

“We know we need to modernize. But we just can’t afford to get it wrong.” We’re picking up on some tension at Shoptalk—retailers know modernization is essential, but the risk holds them back. The sentiment echoes the truths we uncovered in research we commissioned last year: over 70% of IT leaders feel stressed about legacy modernization. At Mechanical Orchard, we’ve changed what modernization means to our retail customers: modular, incremental, built to evolve without disruption… but most importantly, done.

The hardest, riskiest parts of modernization come after code transpilation, but it’s still treated as an afterthought. That’s why applying #AI to code-centric modernization, or layering new tools onto an approach that has failed for decades, isn’t going to change the outcome.

A few weeks ago, we hosted a launch party to celebrate the publication of Beyond Resilience: Patterns of Success in Fintech and Digital Transformation, Leda Glyptis PhD’s latest book. The evening was filled with energy, insight, and candid stories from some of the most forward-thinking tech leaders in banking—part of “the tribe” who champion doing the right thing. A huge thank you to everyone who joined us!

For decades, it’s been a tough choice between modernizing and risking disruption or not modernizing and risking being left behind.  Now, there’s another way. At Google Cloud Next '25, we’re unveiling a new era of legacy modernization: one that’s safer, builds confidence, and lowers the ongoing cost of change.

Retailers know AI can transform operations, from meeting ever-changing client expectations to increasing workforce efficiencies. But legacy systems restrict access to data, keeping AI ambitions stuck in pilot mode. It doesn’t have to be this way. Legacy modernization can be blazingly fast and scale without disruption—but only with an approach that reduces the cost of change over time. Modernization shouldn’t just enable AI today—it should keep systems evolving, continuously driving value, and adapting to what’s next. Meet us at Shoptalk to see how we’re helping retailers achieve AI-ready infrastructure that scales without limits: https://lnkd.in/dfXrQ9uu

AI's inherent non-determinism makes it unpredictable. That’s why it’s been difficult to apply to the hardest part of modernization: post-transpilation integration and testing. Until now.

Retailers know what makes a great customer experience, but outdated tech makes it hard to deliver. Disconnected systems keep your data siloed—making a unified retail commerce strategy that much harder to create, let alone execute. Yet, traditional approaches to modernization introduce risk and threaten business continuity.   It doesn’t have to be this way. Modernization can be blazingly fast, future-ready, and happen with zero business disruption—unlocking operational agility without the risks of traditional transformation.

Modernization doesn’t have to be risky. Mechanical Orchard is redefining legacy modernization—instead of slow, high-stakes projects, we make modernization a straightforward, iterative process that delivers results early and often. Our unique approach and software platform rewrite outdated systems at blazingly fast speeds, transforming them into high-quality, reliable, and idiomatic code that’s easy to maintain and scale. The result? Continuous innovation on a technology foundation that’s always forward-compatible—ready to adapt to whatever’s next. Sleep better at night. Get in touch now: https://lnkd.in/de57E6HX
