Five challenges. One estate.
Government technology leaders are asked to secure, modernize, staff, govern and fund at once, on the same aging systems.
All five get harder when no one can see the estate whole.
That is why they are better solved together than as five separate programs.
One living graph, working on all five.
Choose a challenge.
In 2025, a single ransomware intrusion reached more than 60 agencies of one state government, from motor vehicles to payroll.
- Maps the blast radius before an attacker does: which agencies share which systems, services and data.
- Surfaces the systems no inventory records, where many breaches begin.
- Ranks findings by reachability and mission impact. Agents fix them through change control and verify closure.
- Keeps an SBOM and AIBOM current, so a new disclosure is answered with a list rather than a search.
Federal law now sets the deadlines. Medicaid work requirements take effect on January 1, 2027, and from FY2028 SNAP error rates become a cost to states.
- Recovers eligibility and business rules from COBOL, CICS and IMS: 100% decoding accuracy in state production.
- Turns that understanding into a sequenced plan, with milestones and outcomes fixed in writing.
- Proves each increment equivalent before cutover, designed so determinations and payments continue through cutover.
Experienced staff are leaving faster than they can be replaced, and state CIOs change roughly every two years. Each departure takes knowledge of the systems with it.
- Holds what departing experts knew: every rule, dependency and data path, kept current and on record.
- AxiareteForge adds delivery capacity without adding headcount: forward deployed architects and engineers, working with agents.
- New staff start from the agency's full picture, not from zero.
Agencies are expected to adopt AI quickly, and to test, assess and monitor every high-impact use. Neither is possible without knowing what the estate holds.
- Builds the context AI depends on: which system owns which data, which process it serves, what depends on it.
- Ranks AI opportunities across the estate by expected return, not novelty.
- Runs its own agents with human oversight, review before any change, continuous measurement and a complete record.
Multi-year modernization funding is uncertain, and running costs keep rising. Modernization increasingly has to pay its own way.
- Retires overlapping systems and licenses, with savings tracked into the run-rate. Enterprise clients report 15%+.
- Consolidates five to ten point tools into one platform.
- Scopes every engagement to outcomes fixed in writing, not open-ended time and materials.
Eleven solutions. One platform.
Each can be adopted on its own. All eleven share one living graph, so every one strengthens the others.

One platform. Every mission.
Choose a mission area to see what changes.
Revenue & Taxation
Assessment and collection engines built decades ago, with tax law encoded in COBOL that few people can still read.
Every rule recovered from the code itself, then modernized in increments proven equivalent before cutover.
Benefits & Human Services
From FY2028, SNAP payment error rates of 6% or more cost states a share of benefits, and eligibility logic is spread across mainframe, batch and case systems.
Every eligibility rule and data path mapped end to end, so the logic behind each determination can be seen, tested and changed without stopping payments.
Health & Medicaid
Medicaid work requirements take effect on January 1, 2027, on eligibility systems that hold protected health information.
New rules verified against the CMS requirements, with every unchanged determination proven identical before cutover, on a platform that supports HIPAA compliance.
Medicaid eligibility system development may qualify for 90% federal matching funds, and operations for 75%, under a CMS-approved Advance Planning Document.
Public Safety & Justice
Records, dispatch and case systems that cannot go down, joined by integrations no one has fully mapped.
Every dependency mapped before a change is made. Agents act only inside boundaries the agency authorizes in advance.
Motor Vehicles & Licensing
Licensing and registration platforms connected to dozens of partners, with duplicate systems accumulated over decades.
Every interface reconciled into one dependency graph. Overlapping systems consolidated and retired.
Workforce & Unemployment
Claims systems that must absorb sudden surges in demand, running on platforms past end of life.
The load-bearing components, and the debt beneath them, located and remediated before the next surge rather than during it.
Finance, HR & ERP
ERP, payroll and procurement at the center of everything, where one upgrade touches every department.
The impact of each release predicted across the estate before it ships. Upgrades orchestrated, not improvised.
Education
Student information, grants and certification systems multiplied across institutions and programs.
Overlapping applications consolidated across the system, with every dollar of savings tracked into the run-rate.
A state mainframe, modernized.
State Government · Mainframe ModernizationStatutory programs ran on COBOL, CICS and IMS, kept alive by specialists the state had retired and rehired. Integrators quoted three to five years. Axiarete read every program, business rule and data path, and delivered the replacement.
- 100% accuracy decoding features, functionality and business rules
- Four decades of records migrated intact
- A production-grade system in service with the state, not a pilot
“I could never have thought of a system like Axiarete. Now that you have shown and delivered, I see so many use cases and possibilities for the platform.”
From first conversation to first certified change.
Capacity comes with the platform: forward deployed architects and engineers work alongside the agents, inside your controls.
-
01
Ground
The living graph is built from your systems of record, and the estate is scored automatically.
Picture in two weeks -
02
Scope
A forward deployed architect fixes the systems, outcomes and duration in writing.
Outcomes fixed up front -
03
Deliver
Engineers and agents ship weekly, through your pipelines, gates and change calendar.
First change in week one of delivery -
04
Sustain
Every change certified against a 300-point standard built from NIST, ISO, OWASP and SEI CERT. Gains are measured so they hold.
Certified, then operated
Built for government security review.
Public systems demand public accountability. Every control below exists in the architecture and in the contract.
You set the level of autonomy
Per domain, per system, per action. Changed whenever you choose.
Agents prepare the change in full and hold at a named approver, with the evidence attached, in the workflow they already use.
All three modes write the same audit trail.
Your data stays yours
Dedicated tenant
A dedicated AWS environment per customer. No co-mingled workloads or data.
No model training
Your data and code never train Axiarete or third-party models.
Your keys
AES-256 at rest with customer-managed keys. TLS 1.2+ in transit.
Zero-trust access
MFA, least privilege, just-in-time elevation, quarterly recertification.
Residency & deletion
Residency set in your agreement. Secure deletion within 90 days.
Evidence trail
Every conclusion traces to its source. Audit evidence recorded as the work happens.
Agents inside your authorization
Every agent operates with a defined identity, least-privilege permissions and approved tools. The changes it prepares ship through the agency's own pipelines, approval gates and change calendar, so they are reviewed under the same configuration-management process the system's authorization already relies on. The evidence trail is recorded as the work happens, ready to support the agency's security assessments.
At contract end
Agency data remains agency-owned. Export is available for 30 days after termination, every certified change is already in the agency's own repositories, and data is securely deleted within 90 days, backups included, with a certificate of deletion on request.
Five questions to put to any partner.
- 01
Does it learn what a system does from the code, or from interviews?
A strong answer: from the code, with every conclusion traceable to it.
- 02
When is the first change delivered?
A strong answer: within weeks, through the agency's own change control.
- 03
Does it close vulnerabilities, or report them?
A strong answer: it fixes them, and verifies the fix in the running estate.
- 04
What remains when the contract ends?
A strong answer: a current picture of the estate that the agency keeps.
- 05
Can every AI conclusion be defended to an auditor?
A strong answer: sources, reasoning and approvals, all on record.
Frequently asked questions.
Which solutions does Axiarete offer the public sector?
Eleven solutions on one platform: Technology Discovery & Compliance, Application Portfolio Management, AI-Powered IT Asset Management, Process Mining, Application Rationalization, Legacy Modernization, AI Readiness & Strategy, Vulnerability Management, Software Quality Management, Observability and AI-Powered IT Service Management. Each can be adopted on its own; together they share one living graph of the estate.
How does Axiarete modernize COBOL and mainframe systems?
Agents read every program, business rule and data path from the code itself, sequence the work into waves by dependency, and prove each increment equivalent to what it replaces before cutover. At a state government, analysis across COBOL, CICS, IMS and BMC took 95% less time, business rules were decoded with 100% accuracy, four decades of records were migrated intact, and the replacement was delivered in 80% less time at half the integrator-quoted cost.
Can Axiarete help agencies implement Medicaid work requirements and SNAP accuracy changes?
Axiarete recovers the eligibility rules already encoded in legacy systems and maps the data paths that verification depends on. New rules are verified against the CMS requirements, and every unchanged determination is proven identical before cutover, so determinations and payments are designed to continue through the change. Medicaid eligibility system development may qualify for 90% federal matching funds, and operations for 75%, under a CMS-approved Advance Planning Document. Policy decisions remain with the agency.
How does Axiarete strengthen government cybersecurity and resilience?
It maps which agencies share which systems, services and data, so the blast radius of an incident is known in advance; surfaces systems no inventory records; ranks vulnerabilities by reachability and mission impact; and has agents fix them through change control and verify closure. An SBOM and AIBOM are kept current, so new disclosures are answered with a list of affected systems.
How does Axiarete address the government IT workforce shortage?
The living graph holds what departing experts knew: every rule, dependency and data path, kept current. AxiareteForge adds delivery capacity without adding headcount, through forward deployed architects and engineers who work alongside the agents inside the agency's pipelines and approvals.
What security certifications does Axiarete hold?
Axiarete is SOC 2 Type II attested and ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 42001 certified, and supports HIPAA compliance, with a business associate agreement available. Each customer runs in a dedicated AWS environment with AES-256 encryption and customer-managed keys, zero-trust access and residency defined by agreement. Customer data and code are never used to train Axiarete or third-party models.
How do Axiarete's AI agents stay under agency control?
Each agency sets the level of autonomy per system and per action. In Recommend mode agents only propose; in Approve mode they prepare changes and wait for a named approver; in Execute mode they act only inside boundaries authorized in advance. Every mode writes the same audit trail, and every conclusion traces back to its source.
How do changes made by Axiarete's agents fit within an agency's system authorization?
Every agent operates with a defined identity, least-privilege permissions and approved tools. The changes it prepares ship through the agency's own pipelines, approval gates and change calendar, so they are reviewed under the same configuration-management process the system's authorization already relies on. The evidence trail is recorded as the work happens, ready to support the agency's security assessments.
What happens to agency data when a contract ends?
Agency data remains agency-owned. Export is available for 30 days after termination, every certified change is already in the agency's own repositories, and data is securely deleted within 90 days, backups included, with a certificate of deletion on request.
How quickly does an agency see results?
The picture of the estate is typically available within two weeks. Once scope and outcomes are fixed in writing, the first certified change is delivered in the first week of delivery, and work ships weekly through the agency's own change control.
