Solutions Architecture

Assessing now, planning for next

Our job is to select the best technology to support your business objectives. That process begins with a deep dive into the tech you currently use, which solutions you are reevaluating, and what business needs the new solution will have to meet.

Building out the shortlist

The technology market is fast-changing, and our solutions architects maintain up-to-the-minute knowledge on changing features, reputations, and price points.

We apply that knowledge to create a short list of technology solutions to assess. Once we’ve shortlisted potential vendors, we put them through a careful vetting process, gathering information about how they can address each and every one of your business requirements.

Making an informed recommendation

Applying our proprietary framework, our solutions architects evaluate each solution against your requirements. We evaluate functional requirements – how well each solution will do what you need it to do – as well as non-functional needs like security, availability, performance, scalability, and, of course, cost.

Our solutions architects give each requirement a unique weighting, based on how important it is to your project, and assign a score to each one. Because the process is objective, you get an apples-to-apples comparison that leads to a firm, reasoned recommendation.
