Why So Many Digital Projects Stall After Discovery (and How to Get Past That)
You had the kickoff, the whiteboarding sessions, and the enthusiastic emails with slide decks titled “Phase 1: Quick Wins.”
Then... silence. Sound familiar?
In retirement tech, the biggest graveyard is between discovery and delivery. Not because the ideas are bad or the teams are unqualified, but because the gap between what’s imagined and what legacy systems can support is wider than anyone admits.
Let’s look at what that means:
A product team designs a sleek new participant dashboard with real-time contribution modeling. But contribution data? It lives in a nightly batch file—not exactly API-ready.
A plan sponsor portal revamp promises role-based permissions and embedded analytics. The security roles are hardcoded into a mainframe table, and reporting relies on Crystal Reports v10.1.
This is where Convergent steps in.
We live in the “messy middle”—the space between great ideas and working code. We help teams translate flashy discovery into functional delivery, using:
Lightweight technical bridges
Automation workarounds
Microservice wrappers
Interfaces that make legacy data usable now, not two years from now
We’re not a “build everything” shop. We’re a “let’s launch something this quarter” partner.
Because innovation doesn’t just live in slides, it ships. Talk to Us About Moving From Discovery to Delivery.
