Solution Architecture

Investing in technology change is essential for organisations to achieve goals and meet customer needs. At the same time, technology change can be complex, high risk and costly.

A sound solution architecture will help your technology change and implementation be successful. It includes understanding needs, providing technical leadership, planning the implementation of the right solutions and addressing non-functional requirements.

The right technical decisions deliver results 

We focus on understanding your needs and concerns to make the right technical decisions when undertaking IT initiatives.

Our approach provides technical leadership for projects to identify and design the right solution to meet business and project objectives. This may include but is not limited to, deciding:

• Whether to build or buy.
• What technology platforms to use.
• How the IT solution will scale.
• How to integrate with other systems.
• What development approach is suitable.

To ensure you get the right results, we align IT systems with strategic plans, adhering to enterprise architecture standards and supporting projects through governance processes and review boards.

We actively engage in understanding and addressing non-functional requirements such as usability, reliability, performance and supportability, as these are critical to the success of delivering IT projects.
