Architecture Advisory Services

What Is It?

The Architecture team provides advisory services to support your projects.

We offer the following services:

  • Review Document and Provide Feedback: This service provides architecture-focused review and feedback on project-related documents. The Enterprise Architecture (EA) team evaluates submissions to ensure alignment with architectural principles, technology standards, and business objectives. Document types may include SOWs, RFPs, business or technical requirements, architecture proposals, and strategy documents.
  • Assess Vendor and Provide Feedback: This service provides architectural evaluation of vendor products, proposals, or solutions. The EA team reviews vendor offerings for alignment with enterprise standards, technical fit, capability coverage, non-functional requirements, and integration potential. Feedback supports vendor selection, solution validation, and risk reduction.
  • Create Technical Documentation: This service enables creation or co-creation of technical documentation to support solution delivery, architectural planning, or governance. The EA team develops materials such as architecture diagrams, system overviews, data flow diagrams, integration patterns, technology stacks, or deployment views. Documents align with enterprise standards and are suitable for use in ARB submissions or technical onboarding.
