Description

Description

Silverthread provides enterprises with essential insights and strategies to manage and improve the health of their software assets. Using proprietary tools like CodeMRI® Discovery and CodeMRI® Modernize, we help companies uncover architectural issues, assess software quality, and transform complex systems to support modern development needs. Our approach focuses on enabling companies to move from monolithic to modular architectures that are ready for cloud integration, enhancing both scalability and maintainability.

With CodeMRI® Discovery, we offer a detailed view of system health and pinpoint high-impact areas for improvement. CodeMRI® Modernize then provides targeted, efficient refactoring pathways, enabling companies to address critical design challenges and reduce long-term maintenance costs. These tools, combined with our consulting expertise, guide organizations in their journey to streamline and optimize software assets, ensuring they are prepared to adapt to future demands.

Silverthread has supported major decisions across industries, from aerospace to software acquisitions, where our insights have shaped more than $2 billion in capital allocation and helped assess technical health for M&A evaluations. Our work also supports organizations in updating and scaling large legacy systems, bringing clarity and structure to modernization efforts that can otherwise be risky and costly.

For enterprises looking to address technical health challenges, Silverthread’s consulting services and CodeMRI® tools offer a path to more agile, resilient software. With clear, actionable insights and a focus on sustainable transformation, we help organizations turn software into a reliable, high-performing asset equipped for the future.
Technology Description

Technology Description

Please enterSilverthread’s patented technology leverages advanced dynamic analysis, predictive analytics, and artificial intelligence to assess and improve software architecture, enabling organizations to manage complexity and modernize effectively. The foundation of Silverthread’s CodeMRI® technology includes a patented approach to dynamic architecture transformation and economic impact modeling. Using graph theory, CodeMRI® maps and analyzes structural dependencies within codebases, exposing issues like hidden complexity and tightly coupled components that can undermine performance, scalability, and long-term maintainability.

Silverthread’s dynamic analysis patent focuses on guiding architecture transformation, helping organizations shift monolithic systems into modular, cloud-ready architectures. This approach tracks code structure evolution over time, allowing for real-time analysis of technical health and providing clear recommendations for reducing dependencies and improving modularity. By using dynamic feedback loops, this technology ensures architectural improvements align with evolving business goals and development cycles, allowing organizations to scale systems effectively without accruing unmanaged complexity.

The economic modeling patent enables Silverthread to quantify the financial impact of technical health on productivity, defect rates, and maintenance costs. This patent combines predictive analytics and artificial intelligence to create economic models that project the ROI of modernization efforts, refactoring, and architectural transformations. By correlating structural complexity with key business metrics, this modeling technology supports executive-level decisions, enabling leaders to allocate resources to the highest-value projects.

Finally, graph-theory algorithms power Silverthread’s predictive capabilities, providing a detailed, scalable view of system interdependencies. These algorithms assess and prioritize areas for improvement, minimizing disruption and reducing long-term costs. With artificial intelligence enhancing predictive accuracy, Silverthread’s technology offers a data-driven, future-focused approach to maintaining and improving technical health. Silverthread’s innovations support companies in building software systems that are agile, resilient, and aligned with modern business demands.
