Fix what is already there
IT consulting and strategy
Architecture reviews, build versus buy decisions and roadmaps for teams weighing options. Ends in a written recommendation with the tradeoffs stated plainly, including the case against our own recommendation.
When to bring us in
If more than one of these is true, the engagement usually pays for itself in the first quarter.
- 01
A decision has been open for a quarter because nobody owns the analysis.
- 02
A vendor proposal needs a second opinion from someone with no stake in it.
- 03
The current architecture works but nobody is confident it will next year.
- 04
A board or investor wants a technology plan on paper.
What the engagement includes
Discovery
Interviews with the people who use and maintain the systems, not just the people who own them.
System review
Code, infrastructure and data flows examined directly rather than from a diagram.
Options analysis
Two or three realistic paths with cost, risk and time to value for each.
Recommendation
One recommended path, the reasoning, and the conditions under which we would change it.
Roadmap
Sequenced work with dependencies, so the plan survives a change in priority.
Presentation
A session with your team and, if useful, with your board.
Related practices
Cloud and DevOps
Migrations, infrastructure as code and release pipelines that stop being an event.
Custom software development
Platforms, internal tools and integrations, scoped in writing before any code is written.
Data and analytics
Pipelines, warehousing and reporting tied to the questions the business actually asks.
