Recovery
in the field.

Five mid-sized software companies. Five delayed programs. Here is exactly what we did, and what changed — measured in months recovered, budget reclaimed, and teams re-engaged.

01Cloud Migration

Meridian Financial Systems

FinTech · 1,200 employees

Engagement

9 months

The challenge

Core banking migration 14 months behind schedule

Situation

A cloud migration of their core banking platform had stalled after 18 months. Three vendors had been cycled through, scope had ballooned 240%, and the board was considering abandonment. Regulatory deadlines were 6 months away.

What we did

  • Deployed a Delivery Governance Board within 72 hours of engagement
  • Introduced weekly risk-adjusted milestone tracking replacing monthly status reports
  • Consolidated vendor accountability under a single delivery authority
  • Restructured scope into 3 sequential tranches with hard gates

02AI Governance

Vantara Health Technologies

HealthTech · 680 employees

Engagement

7 months

The challenge

AI diagnostics platform 8 months delayed, $4.2M over budget

Situation

An AI-powered diagnostics product had missed two consecutive launch windows. The engineering team was building without a validated data governance framework, and clinical stakeholders had disengaged from sprint reviews entirely.

What we did

  • Established a Clinical-Engineering Alignment Council meeting bi-weekly
  • Introduced AI model governance checkpoints aligned to FDA 510(k) pathway
  • Rebuilt the data pipeline roadmap with explicit compliance milestones
  • Replaced velocity-only sprint metrics with outcome-based delivery KPIs

03Data Platform

Orbis Logistics Group

Supply Chain SaaS · 2,400 employees

Engagement

12 months

The challenge

Multi-cloud data platform fragmented across 6 independent workstreams

Situation

A strategic data platform initiative had fractured into six siloed workstreams with no shared architecture. Duplicate infrastructure spend had reached $900K annually. The CTO had lost confidence in the program's ability to deliver a unified data product.

What we did

  • Conducted a 3-week program architecture audit across all workstreams
  • Designed a federated data mesh governance model with central policy layer
  • Introduced cross-workstream dependency mapping updated in real time
  • Established a Program Management Office with authority to resolve blockers

04Agile Transformation

Nexora Retail Intelligence

Retail Tech · 450 employees

Engagement

6 months

The challenge

Agile transformation stalled — 18 teams, zero shared cadence

Situation

Following a rapid headcount expansion, Nexora's engineering organisation had grown to 18 product teams operating on incompatible sprint cycles. Quarterly planning produced no actionable roadmap. Senior engineers were spending 40% of their time in coordination overhead.

What we did

  • Implemented SAFe 6.0 Program Increment planning across all 18 teams
  • Defined 4 Agile Release Trains aligned to product value streams
  • Introduced a shared dependency board visible to all team leads
  • Trained 12 internal Release Train Engineers to sustain the model post-engagement

05Compliance Program

Stratum Cybersecurity

Cybersecurity SaaS · 310 employees

Engagement

4 months

The challenge

SOC 2 + ISO 27001 dual certification program 10 months overdue

Situation

A dual compliance certification program had been running for 22 months without reaching audit-readiness. Internal ownership was unclear, evidence collection was manual and inconsistent, and the external auditor had issued a preliminary adverse finding.

What we did

  • Appointed a dedicated Compliance Program Director with board-level reporting
  • Automated evidence collection across 14 SaaS tools using a GRC platform
  • Rebuilt the control testing schedule with 90-day rolling audit readiness reviews
  • Resolved the adverse finding through a structured remediation sprint
