02 / Architecture

Enterprise and solution architecture

Shape business, application, data and integration architecture around your real needs and constraints, and keep it able to evolve.

Typical challenges

  • Systems have grown over years, and nobody has a current picture of how they fit together.
  • New solutions are designed in isolation and create more integration work each time.
  • Architecture decisions are hard to trace, so the same debates come back.
  • Regulatory, security or reliability requirements shape every design, but are not written down in one place.

What we do with your team

Map the landscape

We document business capabilities, applications, data and integrations as they are today.

Design the target

We shape a target architecture that fits your constraints and can be reached in steps.

Design solutions within it

For specific initiatives, we design solutions that fit the target instead of working around it.

Make decisions traceable

We record architecture decisions and the reasoning behind them, so teams can build on them.

How the work runs

  1. 01

    Understand: review systems, documents and constraints with your architects.

  2. 02

    Shape: agree the target and the decisions that lead to it.

  3. 03

    Deliver: support teams as they build to the architecture.

  4. 04

    Improve: update the architecture as delivery and needs change.

Where we have worked

Banking and payments, where reliability, regulation and customer needs all matter.

Questions

Do you replace our architecture team?

No. We work with your architects and leave the architecture in a form your team can own and extend.

Do we need to use the Archy AI Platform to work with you?

No. Our services and the Archy AI Platform are separate. Architech builds Archy, but we recommend whatever fits your situation. If you do use Archy, we can help your teams adopt it.
