ColdFusion Services Since 1998
Your ColdFusion systems hold decades of business logic and data. We modernize them so AI can reach it.
Legacy Systems Are the #1 Blocker to AI Adoption
Your ColdFusion applications run critical business processes and sit on top of decades of institutional data. That data is exactly what AI needs to deliver real value, but it's locked inside systems that weren't built for integration.
As an Adobe Solution Partner since ColdFusion 4.5, we know these systems inside out. We modernize them, secure them, and build the API layers that let AI access your business data without disrupting what already works. Once those layers exist, connecting them to a model is usually a matter of n8n orchestration against that surface rather than new AI code inside the CF application.
ColdFusion Modernization Services
API Layer Development
We build modern REST APIs on top of your ColdFusion systems so AI tools can access your business data securely. No rip-and-replace required.
AI-Ready Migrations
Moving from CF11 to CF2025 is step one. We also modernize data access patterns so your systems can feed AI pipelines. Over 1,000 migrations completed.
Performance Tuning
AI integration adds load. We optimize the queries and processes that create bottlenecks, so your systems handle both existing workflows and new AI-driven demand.
Security Audits
Before AI can access your systems, those systems need to be secure. We audit CF applications against OWASP standards and harden them for modern integration patterns.
24/7 Emergency Support
Production down at 2 AM? We answer around the clock, diagnose accurately, and get systems back online. Then we fix the root cause so it doesn't happen again.
Data Liberation
Your ColdFusion databases hold years of business intelligence. We build extraction pipelines, data warehouses, and integration points that make this data available to AI.
Deep Dives
Three areas of the modernization work covered in full on their own pages, from API development to migration to security.
- Development and integration
- API layers, data pipelines, and new features that connect your ColdFusion systems to AI platforms and modern infrastructure. Read about development and integration.
- AI-ready migrations
- Upgrade ColdFusion versions and modernize data access patterns so your systems can feed AI pipelines. Over 1,000 migrations completed. Read about AI-ready migrations.
- Security and compliance
- AI integration requires secure systems. We audit code, configuration, and infrastructure against OWASP standards before opening data access. Read about security and compliance.
How We Think About This Work
Three pieces from Currents covering the decisions that come before a ColdFusion migration starts.
- How we decide what to migrate
- The triage we run before any ColdFusion migration: keep and stabilize, rewrite with intent, or retire. Read how we think about ColdFusion migration.
- Whether the application has earned the work
- Four outcomes rather than two, and the five questions that sort a legacy application into the right one. Read the legacy modernization decision framework.
- What a CF2025 upgrade involves
- The field checklist from production ColdFusion upgrades: compatibility testing, configuration drift, and the cutover itself. Read the CF2025 migration field checklist.
Why We're the Right Partner for This
Modernizing ColdFusion for AI takes platform depth, Adobe access, and a record of doing it without taking systems down.
- We Know Where the Data Lives
- Twenty-eight years of ColdFusion production experience means we understand how enterprise CF systems store, process, and protect business data. That knowledge is critical for AI integration.
- Direct Adobe Access
- As an Adobe Solution Partner, we can call the engineers who wrote ColdFusion when we hit undocumented edge cases. That access has saved clients weeks during complex modernization projects.
- Zero-Disruption Approach
- Your CF applications run critical processes today. We modernize for AI without breaking what works. Blue-green deployments, automated testing, and zero-downtime migrations.
- Proven at Scale
- NASA, Vertex Pharmaceuticals, and Osceola County trust us with their ColdFusion infrastructure. These are organizations where downtime is not an option.

- Can ColdFusion systems be integrated with AI?
- Yes. We build modern REST API layers on top of ColdFusion applications that allow AI systems to securely access business data. This approach preserves your existing CF workflows while enabling AI-powered analytics, document processing, and automation. No rip-and-replace required.
- How do you modernize ColdFusion for AI integration?
- Our approach has three phases: First, we assess your CF systems and identify the data AI needs access to. Second, we build secure API layers and data pipelines. Third, we upgrade and harden the underlying CF infrastructure. We've completed over 1,000 ColdFusion migrations with zero downtime.
- What does it mean to be an Adobe ColdFusion Solution Partner?
- Adobe Solution Partners have direct access to Adobe engineering, early access to ColdFusion updates, and deep certification on the platform. Convective has been an Adobe Solution Partner since 1998, giving us 28 years of production ColdFusion experience across enterprise and government clients.
- Do legacy ColdFusion systems need security hardening before AI integration?
- Absolutely. Opening data access for AI increases the attack surface. We audit ColdFusion applications against OWASP Top 10 and industry standards, harden the infrastructure, and ensure compliance with HIPAA, PCI-DSS, or SOC 2 requirements before building any AI integration points.
- Can you extract data from ColdFusion databases for AI training?
- Yes. ColdFusion databases often contain decades of business intelligence that is valuable for AI training and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG). We build data extraction pipelines, clean and structure the data, and create integration points that feed AI systems while maintaining data governance and security.
From Legacy to AI-Ready
We don't just fix ColdFusion problems. We build a path from your current systems to AI integration: API layers, data pipelines, modern security, and the documentation your team needs to maintain it all. The goal is AI-ready infrastructure you own completely.
Once the modernization work is done, the same AI implementation framework we use for every enterprise engagement takes over: assess, pilot, prove, scale, sustain. Your ColdFusion data becomes the input to production AI instead of the reason you cannot have it. Not sure where you stand? Take the free AI readiness assessment.
