Questions You Might Be Asking

What is a ColdFusion health check and why do CIOs need one?

Expand

A health check is a rapid assessment of your CF application's stability, security, and performance. CIOs need them to uncover hidden risks in legacy systems before they cause downtime or data breaches.

How do you create a ColdFusion developer contingency plan?

Expand

We outline a three-step process:
1) Documenting essential "tribal knowledge"
2) Identifying a trusted external support partner
3) Establishing a clear protocol for when your primary developer is unavailable

What are the benefits of ColdFusion modernization for enterprises?

Expand

Modernization leads to enhanced security, better performance, easier maintenance, and the ability to integrate with modern APIs and services, ensuring the application can support the business for years to come.

Is ColdFusion still relevant for enterprises today?

Expand

Absolutely. Modern ColdFusion (especially Adobe ColdFusion 2023, 2025 and beyond) is a secure, high-performance platform ideal for building complex web applications. Read more on our blog.

Why choose TeraTech for ColdFusion consultation over generic advisors?

Expand

We live and breathe ColdFusion. With 29+ years of specialized ColdFusion expertise, a proprietary modernization methodology, and a track record of success with over 300 projects, we provide a level of expertise that generalists simply cannot match.

Free ColdFusion (CF) CIO Consultation: The 15-Minute Coffee Call

Is your business running on a legacy ColdFusion application? Are you concerned about having a single point of failure in your development team?

The ColdFusion Coffee Call is a complimentary 15-minute, no-pressure virtual consultation. We deliver a quick health check on your legacy CF environment, provide actionable recommendations, and help you create a developer contingency plan. All it takes is 15 minutes of your time to secure the future of your applications.

What You'll Gain in Just 15 Minutes

This isn't just a sales call; it's a strategic session. Here’s what you'll walk away with:

  • Quick Health Pulse: An expert evaluation of your ColdFusion environment's stability and security.
  • Actionable Recommendations: 2-3 targeted recommendations tailored to your specific setup for immediate improvement.
  • Developer Contingency Plan: A strategy for when your key CF developer gets pulled into another project or leaves.
  • Expert Sounding Board: A chance to talk with a CF expert who understands both the technical complexity of ColdFusion and the realities of business operations.

Success Story:

When Davidson Auto Group's longtime ColdFusion developer departed unexpectedly, their business-critical application began showing instability and performance issues, with no internal team member able to step in.

TeraTech stabilized the system, identified and resolved hidden bugs, improved performance, and established ongoing support so the business could operate with confidence again.

This is exactly the scenario the CF Coffee Call is designed to help you avoid, or recover from quickly if it's already happening.

Your Consultant: Michaela Light

You'll speak directly with our CEO, Michaela Light. With 29+ years in ColdFusion and 45+ years of programming and software management experience, Michaela is a published author, host of the popular CF Alive Podcast, and a leading voice in the community.

🗓️ Schedule Your Free 15-Minute Consultation

Simply select your preferred time. Our system automatically adjusts to your timezone. No back-and-forth emails. Available across all US time zones from PT to ET.

Why CIOs and IT Leaders Book This Call

If you're facing these challenges, this call is for you.

Challenge Why it's a Risk How We Help
Single Point of Failure Your single CF developer is your single point of failure. There's no backup and no succession plan. We help you build a contingency plan.
Inherited Applications You've inherited CF apps but not the institutional knowledge that built and maintained them. We provide clarity and a path forward.
Maintain vs. Modernize You're weighing the costs and benefits of maintaining vs. modernizing your app and need objective guidance. We offer an unbiased, expert perspective.
Proactive Planning You would rather plan ahead now than get that 2 AM "everything is down" emergency call later. We help you identify and mitigate risks.

Is This Call Worth Your Time? A Quick Check

This 15-minute conversation is designed specifically for:

  • Technology Leaders: CIOs, CTOs, IT Directors, or VPs of Technology at US-based companies with 50-1000 employees.
  • Guardians of Critical Apps: Those responsible for ColdFusion applications that power essential business operations.
  • Forward-Thinking Planners: Leaders curious about reducing CF risks, exploring ColdFusion modernization paths, or building a solid succession plan.

If this sounds like you, this call will deliver real value. If not, we'll gladly point you toward better resources.

Our Exclusive CF Alive Perspective

TeraTech's CF Alive approach revitalizes legacy ColdFusion apps. We use modernization best practices to make them secure, performant, and future-proof without requiring a full rewrite.

Unlike generic consultants, our methodology (detailed in the CF Alive: Making ColdFusion Modern, Vibrant and Secure book and podcast) emphasizes:

  1. Incremental Refactoring
  2. MVC Frameworks like ColdBox
  3. Docker Hosting & AWS
  4. Monthly Proactive Security Scans

This approach eliminates single-developer risks and delivers significant maintenance cost reductions. Our clients see tangible results, as proven in our case studies.

Still On The Fence?

That's fine. Bookmark this page for when your CF developer announces they are "taking a short journey" to explore new opportunities.

As we tell our prospects: "Worst case scenario, you get a free virtual espresso and 15 minutes of CF wisdom. Best case? You sleep better knowing your legacy apps won't become your legacy problems."

Don't let your institutional knowledge walk out the door.
