Solution

Key Business Outcomes

Align software investments to ROI, performance benchmarks, and business goals to guide smarter investment decisions with clear, data-backed insights.

You can’t Optimize what You can’t Measure.

Technical leaders know where the bottlenecks are—but getting buy-in from stakeholders often requires more than instinct. Without clear, quantified impact, valuable software investments get delayed or deprioritized. Good ideas die in the budget meeting.

When Software Strategy isn’t Tied to Business Outcomes

Valuable refactoring efforts fail to get funded

Technical debt accumulates with no clear case for change

Leadership prioritizes the wrong systems—or does nothing

Hear directly from businesses who've streamlined operations, enhanced developer productivity, and improved system health using Silverthread solutions.

"We were able to untangle our 15 year old codebase within 4 months of effort using CodeMRI's technical health improvement plan.”

Lead Engineer,
Military Research Lab

"CodeMRI found that our system was in pristine shape. Unfortunately, it was also on the chopping block. Within 1 day, Silverthread was able to benchmark our system. When we presented results to Generals and the Undersecretary, our program was not only saved - but expanded."

Chief Engineer
Air Force Base Software Program

"Silverthread's automated analysis helped us evaluate the health of hundreds of software applications. The combined economic and technical analysis gave us the ability to decide what programs to expand, improve, remediate, or change - in a way that was objective and defensible."
