01
Assess
Architecture, codebase, delivery practice and running costs reviewed against where the business is going. You get a ranked findings register, not a maturity score.
Architecture & delivery
Technology & solution consulting
Architecture that holds when the load and the auditor arrive.
Technology decisions are expensive to reverse. A platform chosen badly, an integration built as a one-off, a modernisation that migrated the mess — these do not show up as incidents. They show up as a delivery team that gets slower every quarter.
Our technology and solution consulting practice makes those decisions properly and then delivers against them. Enterprise and solution architecture, cloud strategy and migration, legacy modernisation, systems integration and API design, platform engineering and DevSecOps — with security, data residency and auditability designed in from the first diagram rather than retrofitted before a certification audit.
We are practitioners. Everything we recommend, we have built and operated ourselves across our own SaaS portfolio — identity, encrypted storage, signing, monitoring and transactional email running under one compliance standard.
Capabilities
What we actually do.
Enterprise & solution architecture
Reference architectures, domain and integration models, technology standards and architecture governance that a delivery team will actually use.
Cloud strategy & migration
Landing zones, migration waves, right-sizing and FinOps across Microsoft Azure, AWS and Google Cloud — with UK region and data-residency requirements set as constraints, not preferences.
Legacy modernisation
Strangler-fig decomposition, re-platforming and rewrite decisions taken on evidence, with data migration and cutover planned to be reversible.
Systems integration & API strategy
API design and governance, event-driven and integration patterns, identity federation and third-party connectivity — documented, versioned and testable.
Platform engineering & DevSecOps
CI/CD, infrastructure as code, secrets management, SBOM and dependency scanning, observability and change control that produces its own audit evidence.
Technical due diligence
Independent assessment of a codebase, architecture, team and delivery practice for investment, acquisition or board assurance — findings ranked by cost to fix.
How we work
The shape of an engagement.
02
Architect
Target architecture, technology selection and a migration or build sequence — with the non-functional requirements written first: security, residency, resilience, cost.
03
Build
Delivery in short increments with your team alongside ours, automated pipelines from day one, and evidence produced as a by-product of the process.
04
Operate
Observability, runbooks, incident response and a handover that leaves your people able to run and change the system without us.

Common questions
Questions we get asked.
Do you take over an existing build?
Yes. We start with a technical assessment so both sides agree on the state of the code and the risks before anyone commits to a plan.
Can you keep all data in the UK?
Yes. UK data residency is a default we design to across our own products, and we treat it as a hard architectural constraint on client work — including backups, logs, telemetry and any third-party processor.
Will we be locked into you?
No. We build on mainstream, portable technology, write the documentation, and hand over infrastructure as code and pipelines your team owns. The measure of a good engagement is that you can leave.
Do you do technical due diligence for investors?
Yes — independent architecture, code, security and team assessments for investment, acquisition or board assurance, delivered to a fixed timeline.
