What is SHIFT?

Your old software. A new computer. Nothing rewritten.

We compile the code your business runs on — COBOL, PL/I — preserving integrity. We keep the data your company's value is built on. It runs natively on modern infrastructure. Not rewritten. Not converted. The same code, the same data, byte for byte.

The whole idea, in five steps.

1Today: the mainframe

Your programs work — they've worked for decades. But the machine is expensive, closed, and fewer people can manage it with every passing year.

SHIFT
2We compile them

SHIFT takes your code and data exactly as they are. Nothing rewritten, nothing converted, fully legacy compatible — byte for byte the same.

3Runs modern

Same results, with hardware, software and upkeep priced like the rest of your IT — and finally open to modern languages, APIs, and AI.

4Normal dev cycle

Code and data stay intact, but the platform is open. No big-bang rewrite, no culture shock — modernize in your normal development cycle, at your pace.

5You turn it off

The mainframe keeps running until you've seen the new side work in production. Then — and only then — you switch it off.
