IT Strategy FAQs

We pair the narrative with architecture diagrams (C4), ADRs, golden paths, IaC starters, and a 30/60/90 plan wired to OKRs and budgets-so teams can ship.

Both. We commonly deliver reference implementations, CI/CD pipelines, IaC blueprints, and governance dashboards with your teams.

AWS, Azure, GCP; containers and serverless; common data platforms (Snowflake/BigQuery), and modern web/mobile stacks.

We set and track OKRs, SLOs, delivery velocity, adoption & cost trends in a weekly scorecard and quarterly business reviews.
