Real-time tech change detection across the global market.
What Are Adoption & Migration Signals?
Real-time indicators that a company is adopting, migrating, replacing, or consolidating technology.
Static Tech Data vs. Real-Time Signals
Static technographic data tells you what a company uses today. Adoption and migration signals tell you what they're changing — the moment it happens. That's the difference between a frozen snapshot and a live opportunity.
- Real-Time Detection — changes tracked as they happen
- Migration Windows — know exactly when a company is switching
- Adoption Signals — new tech being evaluated or deployed
- Replacement Patterns — legacy tech being phased out
"Static tech data tells you where the market was. Migration signals tell you where it's heading — and who's moving."

Frequently Asked Questions
What are technology adoption signals?
Technology adoption signals are real-time indicators that a company is adding a new technology to their stack. They reveal when a company is evaluating, deploying, or expanding usage of a specific technology — the earliest possible buying signal.
What are migration signals?
Migration signals reveal when a company is moving from one technology to another — cloud migrations, platform switches, legacy system replacements, and stack consolidation projects. These represent the highest-value opportunities because the buyer is actively in-market.
How do you detect migration signals?
We combine real-time web signal monitoring, DNS and header analysis, job posting tracking, press releases, case studies, and human verification. Every signal is confirmed across at least 2 sources before delivery.
How fast are signals delivered?
Signals are detected in real-time, verified within 1-4 hours, and delivered within 24 hours of confirmation. Fresh signals typically convert 3-5x better than aged ones.
Can I filter by signal type?
Yes. We classify every signal into 6 categories: New Adoption, Migration, Replacement, Expansion, Consolidation, and Active Evaluation. You can filter by any type, score, industry, or geography.
How accurate is your signal data?
We deliver 93% signal accuracy and 96% contact accuracy. Every technology change is verified by both automated systems and human review before delivery.
