The Hidden Backbone

Buried deep within the infrastructure of American defense and intelligence operations are systems running on decades-old Pick/MultiValue platforms. These systems, often customized and fine-tuned over years of classified use, are astonishingly reliable—and increasingly brittle. The developers who built them are retiring. The tools to maintain them are vanishing. The threats they were never designed to face—cyber warfare, cloud integration, AI, real-time analytics—are now daily operational demands.

For state and federal buyers charged with modernizing legacy systems, the mission is clear: upgrade without risk, preserve what works, and enhance capabilities without compromising security, uptime, or operational continuity.

This is where BinaryStar comes in.

BinaryStar: Modernization Without Compromise

BinaryStar Systems is the nation’s foremost expert in AI-driven transformation of Pick/MultiValue applications. Founded by industry veterans and trusted by enterprises with decades of legacy code, BinaryStar delivers a safe path to modernization—purpose-built for mission-critical environments where downtime is not an option and confidentiality is paramount.

We don’t just understand Pick. We’ve lived it, extended it, and now we transform it—with tools designed specifically to translate legacy MultiValue logic, data models, and screen flows into modern, secure, cloud-capable applications.

Legacy Systems: Still Strategic, Now Vulnerable

Pick/MultiValue platforms were chosen for a reason: speed, flexibility, and reliability in resource-constrained environments. Many of these systems still outperform more modern architectures in transaction-heavy, multi-user environments. But they were never built for:

• Cloud or hybrid deployment
• Integration with modern security protocols (e.g., FIPS, zero trust)
• Real-time situational awareness dashboards
• Secure API consumption or generation
• AI-assisted decision-making or anomaly detection

As these needs become mission requirements, the risk of stagnation grows. Forklifting the system out isn’t feasible—too much is embedded in workflows, user behavior, and domain-specific nuance.

What’s needed is a hybrid strategy. One that modernizes gradually, safely, and intelligently.

The BinaryStar Method: AI-Powered, Mission-Ready

BinaryStar’s MYRA™ (Modernize Your Rustbucket Applications) platform uses artificial intelligence to analyze, understand, and transform legacy Pick applications into modular, modern components. With MYRA, we:

1. Ingest and Decode your existing source code and data dictionaries
2. Model Relationships between logic, data, user screens, and permissions
3. Generate Node.js/MongoDB Applications that replicate the functionality, structure, and intent of the original—without breaking the business logic
4. Stage Modern Interfaces incrementally, allowing secure co-existence of old and new
5. Enable API Access for integration with intelligence platforms, analytics, and command-and-control systems

All without rewriting from scratch, and with full traceability back to the original logic—essential for auditability and classified workflows.

Designed for Security, Engineered for Trust

Federal agencies cannot afford modernization strategies that introduce uncertainty or expose sensitive systems. That’s why BinaryStar’s entire process is designed with security-first principles:

• On-premise or air-gapped transformation workflows
• Zero knowledge AI models—your data and logic never leave your control
• Audit trails and mapping tools to ensure traceable, verifiable migrations
• Support for hybrid deployment, enabling classified environments to operate securely with staged modernization

For intelligence communities, we enable modernization without declassification. For defense logistics, we maintain uptime while expanding interoperability. For agency IT, we remove the risk of black-box rewrites.

From Flat Files to Future-Proof

Pick/MultiValue databases don’t look like modern RDBMS systems—but the data they hold is no less critical. BinaryStar offers AI assisted conversion to MongoDB, preserving multivalue semantics as embedded arrays while aligning with modern NoSQL design principles. This enables:

• Faster search, retrieval, and joins
• Natural fit for document-style intelligence records
• Schema flexibility to adapt to evolving mission needs

And if you’re not ready to move away from Pick, we support side-by-side integration strategies that let your legacy database and modern interface co-exist in harmony.

A Partner, Not Just a Vendor

BinaryStar is not a body shop. We are not a consultancy that disappears after handing off a modernization plan that requires a staff of 20 to execute. We are your partner in operational continuity, system safety, and secure evolution.

We work alongside your internal IT teams or integrators. We train your people. We support your environments. We understand that in mission-critical scenarios, stability is the highest priority—and modernization is only valuable when it reduces risk, not adds to it.

Use Cases: Where We Add Immediate Value

1. Defense Logistics Systems

Legacy Pick systems often power base-level logistics, supply chains, and maintenance planning. With BinaryStar, these platforms gain:

• Secure browser-based UIs for remote management
• Integration with DLA or ERP systems via RESTful APIs
• Real-time status dashboards for command visibility

2. Intelligence Data Collection Tools

Many field-level collection systems still run on terminal-based Pick apps. BinaryStar enables:

• Modernized UI for faster data entry and triage
• Enhanced classification handling
• Encrypted cloud sync for central analysis

3. Internal Agency Applications

From HR to procurement to facility access, Pick apps still underpin core workflows. We support:

• Incremental modernization without retraining
• Backend services that meet FISMA and FedRAMP needs
• AI-assisted form validation and document handling

Why BinaryStar

Start with a 90-Day Pilot

BinaryStar offers a no-risk, 90-day modernization pilot tailored for government buyers. In this pilot, we:

1. Analyze and document your current Pick/MultiValue application
2. Identify modernization targets with the highest operational benefit
3. Demonstrate a functional modern interface (Node.js + MongoDB or Postgres)
4. Provide a roadmap with timelines, costs, and risks clearly laid out

All without disrupting your current operations or requiring sensitive code to leave your secure environment.
