From strategy to code, every layer in order

High-level enterprise and software architecture: IT governance, data, applications, cloud, security, quality and project management, with frameworks such as TOGAF, ISO/IEC 38500 and ISO/IEC 25010.

The layers

A well-designed company, layer by layer

Each layer answers a business question and connects to the next one. That way every line of code has a reason to exist.

01

Strategy and business

Capabilities, processes, value chain and measurable goals.

TOGAF ADMBIANBusiness Model CanvasBPMN 2.0OKR
02

IT governance

Who decides, how value is measured and how risk is controlled.

ISO/IEC 38500COBIT 2019ITIL 4ISO/IEC 20000
03

Data and information

Data model, quality, analytics and personal data protection.

DAMA-DMBOKModelo entidad-relaciónData warehouseLey 1581
04

Applications and integration

Systems, microservices, APIs and events that connect the company.

05

Technology and cloud

Infrastructure, networks and cloud platforms.

AWS Well-ArchitectedGoogle CloudAzureKubernetesTerraform
06

Security

Identity, encryption, Zero Trust and compliance.

ISO/IEC 27001NIST CSFOWASP ASVSSOC 2
07

Software quality

Measurable quality attributes in every release.

08

Operations and DevOps

Continuous deployment, monitoring and improvement in production.

Frameworks and standards

The best of each framework, applied to your reality

We do not copy templates: we take from each standard what your company needs to make better decisions.

TOGAF

The ADM method to move from the current architecture to the target architecture, in phases.

ISO/IEC 38500

IT governance principles for the board and senior management.

ISO/IEC 25010

Software quality model: functionality, performance, security, maintainability and more.

ISO/IEC 27001

Information security management system.

COBIT 2019

IT governance and management objectives aligned with the business.

ITIL 4

IT service management: incidents, changes, service levels.

BIAN

Reference architecture for banking and financial services.

Zachman

A matrix to classify enterprise architecture artifacts.

ArchiMate

A language to model business, applications and technology in a single map.

AWS Well-Architected

Six pillars: operational excellence, security, reliability, performance, cost and sustainability.

NIST CSF

Cybersecurity framework: identify, protect, detect, respond and recover.

DAMA-DMBOK

Best practices to govern and manage data.

Modeling and diagrams

C4 model: from the big picture to the detail

We document the architecture at four zoom levels, so management, engineering and operations look at the same map.

High-level engineering

Software that can be maintained for years

Industry-proven patterns so your software grows without becoming fragile.

Clean and hexagonal architecture

Business rules kept apart from frameworks and databases.

Domain-driven design

The software speaks the language of your business.

Events and CQRS

Systems that react in real time and scale piece by piece.

Microservices or modular monolith

The right structure for your size, without extra complexity.

TDD and BDD

Tests written from the requirements.

Code review

Quality, security and standards in every change.

Performance and scalability

Load testing and measurable response targets.

AI-accelerated engineering

AI writes, tests and documents; engineers review.

PMP, PMO and agility

Projects delivered on time

We combine the discipline of project management with the speed of agile methods.

PMP · PMBOK

Scope, schedule, costs, risks and stakeholders under control.

PMO

Project office: portfolio, priorities, dashboards and KPIs.

Scrum

Releases every two weeks, with a demo and a retrospective.

Kanban

Continuous flow and work-in-progress limits for support and operations.

SAFe

Agility at scale for multiple teams and release trains.

PRINCE2

Stage-based governance and clear business cases.

OKR

Objectives and key results that connect strategy and execution.

Risk management

Risk matrix and response plans from day one.

Process

Five steps, from today to the target architecture

01

Current-state assessment

We map processes, systems, data, risks and costs as they are today.

02

Target architecture

We design how the company should look at every layer.

03

Gaps and roadmap

We prioritize projects by value, risk and cost.

04

Implementation in waves

We execute with Scrum, a PMO and measurable releases.

05

Governance and improvement

KPIs, an architecture board and continuous improvement.
