Briefing

Cloud, security, SAP, Oracle and AI services, led by architects.

Six practice areas plus staff augmentation, from our Detroit headquarters to clients worldwide. We don't publish a provider roster: for each pursuit, we choose the delivery providers that fit your environment, name them in our proposal, and disclose any referral fee.

Staff augmentation

Talk to an architect about staff augmentation

What we do

  • Solution and enterprise architects
  • Cloud, network and security engineers
  • SAP and Oracle specialists
  • Project and program managers

Independent advisory for enterprise programs

When the stakes are a multi-year program or a multimillion-dollar contract, the most valuable thing an advisor brings is independence. On these four offers, you are our only source of payment.

Independent program assurance

A second set of eyes on a large SAP, cloud or managed services program, reporting to your steering committee rather than the integrator.

  • Health checks at each phase gate
  • A risk and issue register with recommendations
  • Readiness review before cutover
  • A plain-language dashboard for executives

Typical length: Phase-gate reviews or a monthly cadence, for the life of the program.

Sourcing and RFP advisory

Competitive bids for managed services, ERP, network and cloud contracts, run from requirements to signed agreement.

  • Requirements and scoring criteria you approve
  • RFP package and a qualified shortlist
  • Scored evaluation and negotiation support
  • SLA, OLA and exit terms that hold up on day two

Typical length: Typically 8 to 16 weeks per contract.

M&A technology due diligence and integration

Find the technology and security risks before a deal closes, then plan the integration or carve-out.

  • IT and security due diligence report
  • Cost and synergy model
  • Transition services (TSA) and Day 1 plan
  • Integration or separation roadmap

Typical length: Due diligence in 2 to 4 weeks; integration planning through Day 1 and beyond.

Fractional chief architect

Senior architecture leadership on retainer: a standing review board, a roadmap owner and a tie-breaker on big technology decisions.

  • Monthly architecture review board
  • Target-state roadmap kept current
  • Design reviews for major projects
  • Vendor and contract strategy

Typical length: A monthly retainer, reviewed quarterly.

Example engagements

What an engagement looks like, built from the requests we hear most.

A 900-person manufacturer that has to get off SAP ECC

The situation

Mainstream maintenance for SAP ECC ends in 2027. A six-person IT team, two integrator quotes that didn't agree, and no one to referee.

What we'd do

  • Assess the landscape and pick a path
  • Design the target architecture and cloud
  • Run the program office

What we'd bring in

An SAP transformation specialist and a managed cloud provider on AWS, Azure or Google Cloud, chosen for this landscape.

What we'd measure

  • Cutover downtime
  • Days to close the month
  • Run cost vs. today

These are illustrative scenarios. Real client stories are on the way.
