Overview

Plan before you build

Modernization without a strategy is expensive guesswork. SanPav assesses your application portfolio, quantifies risk and cost, and produces a prioritized roadmap and business case your executives can stand behind.

We use proven frameworks — including the "6 R's" of modernization — to match each system to the right disposition: retain, rehost, replatform, refactor, replace, or retire.
