Pitch Day Investment in Digital Technology - Connote

The US Government spends upwards of $50 Billion a year maintaining legacy systems. Replacing these systems can be a challenge. Legacy software systems can be huge, evolving over time, developed and maintained by a different team every few years. There may be documentation, or there may not be. If there is, it may be poor quality or unmaintained. Cyber security and data breaches are difficult to address in these systems. And system interoperability is especially challenging in domains where mergers and acquisitions create overlaps in functionality that must be deconflicted. Connote is a software analysis engine designed to automatically parse, analyze, and model complex software systems. Connote is designed to address classic problems with maintaining legacy systems – problems that are so systemic that they have always been assumed to be inherent to the software development lifecycle. Connote allows engineers to quickly gain a deep understanding of what a system does, how it works, and how independent systems are interconnected. This analysis is fully interactive – fidelity can be scaled up and down, scopes and relationships can be traced, functional and structural relationships separated, and irrelevant information can be identified and abstracted.
