Architecture delivery is essential to ensure that technical and business architecture plans are effectively translated into real, functional systems and solutions that meet the strategic needs of an organisation.
Without a disciplined approach to architecture delivery, prioritising consistency, quality, agility and collaboration, including having the right people in the right roles, even the best architectural plans can fail to materialise or fall short in supporting business objectives.
An effective architecture delivery practice with a focus on value creation will see improvements in cross-functional collaboration, along with a more controlled approach to governance and compliance that demonstrates greater agility and flexibility.
Our Services Architecture Practice offers a full range of architecture capabilities to support all aspects of delivery. We have a strong team of experienced architects with extensive knowledge across multiple business domains.
We can support clients in several ways, whether providing interim architecture leadership, teams of enterprise, solution or data architects, or point resources to embed within client teams. We can also engage on outcome-based assignments, taking responsibility for agreed deliverables.
However we engage, we always employ a highly collaborative way-of-working, operating closely with client Architecture teams and wider stakeholders to ensure full buy-in to activities and deliverables, maximising business alignment and value realised.
Our experts have a comprehensive suite of best practice tools and assets at their disposal, for example reference architectures, capability models and guardrails, which add meaningful value and support for the successful delivery of our clients’ architecture plans.
We now also employ our own Gen AI capability ‘Ask Ada’ to support quick and efficient access to and leverage of our assets and knowledgebase. To find out more about our AI capabilities, please see our Data & AI page.
