Connect the workflows that sit between your systems. Replace workarounds and duplicate data entry with software that helps your organization move as one. Measure process time and manual work removed. ### CFO · Cost & value: Make modernization viable. Put long-deferred projects back on the table. Retire obsolete licenses, simplify maintenance and invest in applications that create value for your business. Track retired costs and total cost of ownership. ### CTO · Control & capacity: Build on a foundation you control. Unify your infrastructure and engineering practices. Keep your code, data and architecture in your hands, with a factory that plugs into the stack you already run. Follow delivery lead time and application quality. ## Scale engineering by 100×. Bring an on-demand agent engineering force to your roadmap. Kodama, our autonomous software development lifecycle platform, lets agents work in parallel, around the clock. Your engineers set the direction, supervise the runs and validate the results. ### Your software factory Your business, powered by your own software factory. Your business priorities: ERP & CRM, Internal tools, Business workflows → Kodama → Software you own. An engineering force that can run 24/7 1. Understand 2. Build 3. Verify 4. Deliver Your cloud or on-premise. Your standards. ### What an illustrative CRM modernization run can look like - **15 days:** of continuous, 24/7 agent execution - **4:** AI engineers supervising the process - **2,000:** agent-days of work, run in parallel Example sizing for a selected CRM scope. Discovery, business validation and production rollout complete the project. The 100× ambition is engineering capacity through parallel agents; results depend on the workload. ### Open source. Enterprise ready. Kodama is open source, with an enterprise edition and enterprise-grade support. Start with a foundation you can inspect and extend, with Optimi alongside you to install, tailor and operate it. [Explore Kodama documentation](/en/docs/kodama) ## Plugs into the stack you already run.

Your cloud · BYOC · On-premise · Your enterprise standards ### Unify your infrastructure. Give new and modernized applications a common home. Reuse the platforms, integrations and operating practices your organization already trusts. ### Automate security with your chassis. Build security checks, access controls and release verification into the foundation. Apply your standards consistently as engineering scales. ### Industrialize engineering. Turn specification, development, testing and delivery into a repeatable process. Every modernization project strengthens the factory for the next one. ## Reverse-engineer. Rebuild. Own it. Your existing CRM and ERP hold years of business knowledge. We help you recover that logic, reimplement it in software you own and move forward one business capability at a time. ### Understand the existing system Map workflows, business rules, data and integrations. Keep what makes your business work. ### Rebuild and run alongside Reimplement the selected scope. Compare business results and transition traffic progressively at the edge. ### Own the next chapter Retire the replaced software. Bring your applications together on a foundation your team can evolve. A progressive transition: existing and modernized applications coexist while each business capability is validated. ## We build the factory. We help your team run it. An Optimi Architect turns your modernization goals into a working program. We design the runs, integrate the factory into your organization and train your staff to operate it with confidence. ### Define the business case Choose the first application, map the dependencies and agree what success looks like. ### Install and tailor Configure Kodama on your chassis, connect your tools and embed your engineering and security standards. ### Design and supervise runs Structure the modernization work, coordinate agents, monitor progress and review the results with your teams. ### Train and integrate Equip your people to operate the factory. Integrate it into your delivery process and keep improving together. ## From business intent to software you own. See how a CRM modernization moves through Kodama: agents build in parallel, security checks run along the way, and your team reviews the result before release. ### Example workflow · CRM modernization 1. **Discover:** Understand the existing CRM, its workflows and the rules worth preserving. 2. **Design:** Turn the business goal into a scoped project on your enterprise chassis. 3. **Build:** Coordinate agents to reimplement the selected capabilities and their tests. 4. **Verify:** Check business behavior, application quality and security independently. 5. **Review:** Your team reviews the working application and approves the release. 6. **Deploy:** Roll out progressively, observe the application and feed improvements into the next cycle. One repeatable lifecycle, from understanding your existing software to running its replacement. Operational feedback informs the next cycle. ## Your next chapter, explained. ### Where should we start? Start with a system that is expensive to maintain or a workflow that slows your business down. An Optimi Architect helps you select a clear scope, assess its value and configure the first modernization project. ### Do we need to replace our infrastructure? Your software factory plugs into your existing stack. Optimi adapts it to your enterprise chassis and deploys it in your own cloud or on-premise, with your tools, identity and operating standards. ### Can we really own the replacement for our ERP or CRM? The goal is customer-owned software built around your business. We reverse-engineer the workflows and rules within the agreed scope, reimplement them and validate the replacement with your teams. You retain control of the application code, data and environment. ### What does our team do while the agents run? Your people define priorities, contribute business knowledge and accept the results. Optimi helps architect and monitor the runs, then trains your staff to operate the factory. Agents provide execution capacity; your organization steers the outcome. ## Build the foundation for your business. Bring us the application you want to retire or the process you want to transform. Let’s make your next modernization project viable. [Plan your modernization](/en/contact)
