Technology is ever changing, blink and you miss it, until now.
What is Modernize or Die ®
Modernize or Die ® is a trademarked ideal that Ortus Solutions lives day to day. ColdFusion, often mistakenly thought as a dead language, is alive and well. ColdFusion is not the same as it was 20 years ago, yes it's more than 20 years old! It's dynamic, vibrant, modern, fluent, and functional! At Ortus Solutions we strive to create tools and a community ecosystem for all things ColdFusion (CFML); especially in our approach to helping companies get out of legacy hell and into a modern and vibrant approach to web development.
