Strategic Consulting
We've spent 20 years working alongside technical teams at companies of all sizes in multiple industries. In that time, we’ve seen a lot of things go well -- and some things that could have gone better.
What we’ve learned is that a clear technology strategy saves time, prevents headaches, makes teams more productive, and is the key to achieving goals on time and on budget.

Optimization
I've moved things to the cloud. Am I doing it right?
Many organizations complete cloud migrations only to discover unexpected costs, performance issues, and security concerns. The promise of the cloud—scalability, flexibility, cost savings—remains unrealized without proper optimization.
Our cloud optimization specialists combine deep technical knowledge with business acumen to evaluate your infrastructure against industry best practices. We take a holistic view across operational excellence, security, reliability, performance, and cost dimensions. Rather than theoretical recommendations, we deliver actionable insights prioritized by business impact and implementation feasibility, supported by experienced practitioners who have optimized cloud environments for organizations of all sizes.
How can I remove friction to best leverage our product delivery teams?
Despite talented engineers and modern tools, many teams struggle with productivity, predictability, and quality. Technical debt accumulates, deadlines slip, and business stakeholders lose confidence in engineering's ability to deliver.
Our engineering optimization practice combines data-driven assessment techniques with practical improvement strategies developed through decades of collective experience. We identify the specific bottlenecks in your software delivery lifecycle—from requirements definition to deployment—and implement targeted improvements that align with your team's capabilities and culture. Our approach emphasizes measurable outcomes and sustainable practices that continue delivering value long after our engagement ends.

Choices
We are about to make a big technology decision. Is it the right one?
High-stakes technology decisions carry enormous implications for cost, capability, and competitive advantage. Yet these decisions are often made with incomplete information, unclear requirements, or vendor-biased perspectives.
Our team provides objective, comprehensive evaluation of your options based on your unique business context. We combine technical assessment methodology with extensive implementation experience to cut through vendor marketing and identify the true fit for your needs. Our approach integrates business requirements, technical evaluation, implementation planning, and change management considerations to ensure your technology investments deliver the expected returns.
How can we align our product, engineering, and business teams to move faster together?
In today's complex business environment, siloed teams, misaligned priorities, and inconsistent processes create friction that slows innovation and frustrates everyone. Product, engineering, and business teams often speak different languages, leading to miscommunication and missed opportunities.
We specialize in breaking down organizational barriers through structured facilitation and proven frameworks. Our consultants bring extensive experience in product operations transformation across industries, helping teams establish shared vocabulary, aligned objectives, and streamlined processes. We focus on practical solutions that create immediate impact while building sustainable collaboration models tailored to your organization's unique culture.

Modernization
I want to ditch this monolith and move to microservices. This is complicated. There are many approaches. Which should I choose?
Monolithic architectures limit scalability, slow innovation, and create technical debt that grows exponentially. Yet the journey to microservices is fraught with risks—from service boundary decisions to data management challenges.
Our team brings battle-tested experience guiding organizations through successful architectural transformations. We assess your current state, business priorities, and team capabilities to design a pragmatic modernization approach that delivers incremental value while managing risk. Our methodology incorporates both technical architecture patterns and organizational change strategies to ensure your teams are ready to build, operate, and evolve your new architecture.
I love this idea of composable, it solves a lot of problems, but what about these new problems?
Composable commerce promises flexibility and best-of-breed capabilities, but introduces complexity in integration, operations, and governance. Organizations struggle to balance the benefits of modular architecture with the challenges of managing a diverse technology ecosystem.
Our composable commerce practice combines deep retail domain knowledge with technical expertise across leading commerce platforms and components. We help you navigate the complexities of modular architecture by evaluating your current commerce capabilities, identifying high-value opportunities for composable approaches, and designing implementation strategies that balance immediate business needs with long-term architectural goals. Our consultants have guided multiple retailers through successful composable transformations.
