Technology advisory and architecture
Senior architecture input for organisations making a decision they will live with for years — without a vendor attached to the answer.
Some decisions do not need a delivery project; they need someone senior to look at the options honestly and say which one fits. Platform selection, a renewal that forces a strategic choice, a roadmap that needs to survive a budget cycle. This is advisory work, scoped to the decision rather than to a build.
What this covers
Architecture review
An independent read of a current or proposed design, including the assumptions it rests on and where it is likely to strain.
Platform and option analysis
Structured comparison of the realistic options, with cost, risk and operational burden made explicit for each.
Roadmap and sequencing
A phased plan with dependencies identified, sized in effort, and sequenced so early phases do not foreclose later ones.
Second opinion
Review of a proposal, statement of work or architecture you have been given, from someone with nothing to sell you.
Typical starting points
- A proposal has landed and you want it read by someone without a stake in it
- A renewal or end-of-support date is forcing a strategic decision
- Internal opinion is split and the disagreement is technical
- A roadmap needs to be defensible to a board or an owner
