About Us
Lakota Digital is a full service IT firm with an emphasis on legacy systems modernization. From the initial analysis of your old code, to identifying changes to be made during modernization, to testing and delivering documented NEW software, we are your one-stop shop for reducing your operations and maintenance cost by 30-50% or more. Lakota Digital is 100% Native American owned, with our corporate headquarters in South Dakota and satellite offices in the Washington, DC area and in Montgomery, AL.
We offer time and materials and fixed price engagements covering most of your software development needs, including:
- Enterprise Architecture
- Legacy Code Analysis
- Redevelopment and Modernization
- Software Engineering in Java, Python, and .NET
- Testing, QA and IV&V
We have proven methodologies for doing our work, and we follow CMMI Level 4 key practices to ensure that you get great software, rapidly delivered, and within budget.
We use Agile development methods, but we are fully versed in classical software engineering methodologies such as MIL-STD-498, Air Force SEP, MIL-STD-2167A, and similar waterfall, documentation-intensive approaches. For new development, our approach is very similar to IBM’s Deliberate Agile Delivery. Want to know how to combine the best of software engineering and Agile? Just ask us.
We use a variety of advanced software tools that are able to parse legacy programming language code and deliver a variety of analytical reports. The tools also “mine” the old code for information about the application and can automatically write a large percentage of the new code for a modernized version on a Linux or Unix platform, or on Microsoft technology as appropriate.
60-80% of IT budgets go to maintaining existing systems

Platform and Solutions
IBM Mainframe
Your IBM mainframe is solid as a rock, very secure, and very expensive. Unfortunately, the technologies in use by modern software developers tend not to be well supported on that platform (although Java is available on z/OS). In short, it may be time to move.
Unisys Mainframe
We handle the entire line of Unisys Mainframe legacy languages and databases — including MAPPER, COBOL, and DMS-1100. We also handle those client-server applications that people in your shop put together to avoid the mainframe environment. We can make changes to your systems while we modernize, and the entire process is rapid and SOA-based.
Enterprise Architecture
What is Enterprise Architecture? Sometimes, it’s a very expensive book report that nobody pays attention to. But in our case, it is actionable. Pragmatic. We can define it with you, and then we have tools that can be tuned to write code that matches. If you’re thinking about modernization, we can help you define an Enterprise Architecture and then all of your legacy applications will have the same robust structure and can communicate with each other easily.
