Architecture & consulting

Advising clients so they can make sound choices is part of the job. Bad choices are expensive — all the more so today, when IT is inseparable from the productivity and strategy of most companies.

Technology choices

  • Reliability
  • Security
  • Longevity
  • Room to grow
  • Ease of maintenance
  • Accessibility for the intended audience

Strategic choices

  • Breaking work into modules according to priorities or available budget
  • Improving and streamlining business processes, drawing on experience
  • Proposing services or solutions upstream that will hold up over time
  • Deciding what to build, what to buy, and what is better left undone
