Architecture

Technology is at the heart of all organisations. It changes fast and all the time. Our architects help you navigate this ever-changing landscape throughout your digital transformation journey.  

We'll work with you to consider your people, process and technology drivers. Our architecture services bring together software, hardware and infrastructure to deliver your business objectives. And we support you with expert guidance to align business and technology strategies to adapt, optimise and deliver strategic goals.  

Our architecture team will work with you to develop, integrate and maintain high-quality and secure business systems. And we'll enable you to scale your systems to accommodate future needs in an efficient, cost-effective way. We'll document your strategies and roadmaps. And we'll produce blueprints as the foundations of your architecture reference library.  

We'll build an understanding of your business aspirations, ensuring that any solutions fit the wider technology context. Our team of experts will work to develop high-level designs, detailed design artifacts and architecture decision records. This will help your teams understand what they’re working towards. And it will ensure that all component parts of a technology solution work together.  

Opencast’s architecture capability includes enterprise, solution and technical architecture. Our consultancy services include specialisms such as data and security architecture. Our architects will work with your stakeholders and delivery teams and work to understand the big picture. They will develop technology strategies and shape the direction of what we deliver.

Architecture – our specialisms

Our architecture consultants have worked on the most complex challenges in both the public and private sector. They offer consultancy services in four core disciplines:  

Strategic thinkers and expert collaborators, our enterprise architecture consultants are the trusted advisors to your business. Their expert advice will help you make the right strategic technology choices and business processes. That will include deciding whether building or buying a new solution is the right approach for your business and your people. Enterprise architecture consultants will work with stakeholders to develop designs for technology infrastructures that work now and in future.  

 

Problem solvers and diligent listeners, our solution architects will work hard to understand your goals. They bring experience in development, technology strategy, evaluation and assessment and end-to-end solution design. They will bridge the gap between your business goals and needs, and your technical operations.  

 

Analytical thinkers with curious mindsets, our data architects will have a vision for how you use your data. They will ensure your data is managed to meet your organisation’s needs. They'll design data models, enterprise data platforms and build capabilities in business intelligence. And they'll set the standards and principles for data security, data quality and data governance. Our data architects can help you build your enterprise data strategy to help your business take a more data-led approach. 

Experts and co-creators, our architects will provide leadership for the design, build and delivery of your technology systems. They will develop technical strategies and act as your main point of contact for technical discussions. At the same time, they will manage teams of developers and tech specialists.
