We approach technology transformations knowing that the current state systems, often decades old, must operate simultaneously with the development and release of new, modernized systems. More often than not, this reality creates the biggest challenge to the transformation effort. While a “big bang” cutover may seem safest for the organization and end users, it often results in “ churn and burn” and over-architecting . We prefer to leverage a “risk adverse” approach that allows existing functionality to change without affecting end users. This approach creates operational independence for the teams developing the underlying capabilities and allows new functionality to be iteratively developed and launched.
Our Solution Architects collaborate with product and PMO to build an implementation plan incorporating this approach’s agility and the speed at which value can be de ployed, tested, released, and realized .
We utilize lean agile, or minimum viable, architecture. This approach fosters a collaborative, deliberate, and flexible environment that allows for top-down planning and bottom-up refinement to ensure elegant, reliable, scalable, yet affordable solutions while minimizing e-waste: defects, overproduction, waiting, unused talent, transportation, inventory, motion, and excessive processing.
Teams evolve strategy, inform roadmap, and test hypotheses and assumptions through incremental development and continuous feedback. We work with organizations to create flexible and customizable solutions that work within the current environment and evolve with the organization. We design unique solutions depending on your design ’ s framework, languages, and features, using proven processes and methodologies to help integrate architecture into every decision. All this ensures elegant solutions that meet customer and business needs.
