Our take
Overhauling existing systems can be a massive undertaking, especially for larger businesses, and especially when these systems manage business-critical functions. That said, it has become a vital move in order to respond to the more fast-paced markets of today, enabling legacy companies to keep a competitive edge.
Mechanical Orchard is a company leveraging AI to replicate, test, evolve and manage critical systems in the cloud. Essentially, its approach means businesses can modernize their legacy systems more quickly and safely by ensuring critical systems stay online throughout the process of moving to the cloud, and giving visibility into the effects of any changes.
Early in 2024, the company raised $24 million in Series A funding which will be invested in R&D as well as support the development of a global sales and marketing program. As digital transformation accelerates, Mechanical Orchard should benefit from increasing enterprise demand. It already serves large customers including logistics giant Omni Logistics.
