Solution Design & Strategic
Architecture Review

Reduce lifetime cost. Remove technical bottlenecks.

dForce Solution Design pairs architects experienced in end-to-end design for industry giants with a close read of your own environment. Beyond conventional enterprise architecture, we bring a profound understanding of environmental nuance — with reducing lifetime cost and clearing technical bottlenecks always in clear focus.

Two halves of the same discipline

See the full landscape.
Build what resonates.

The Strategic Architecture Review and Solution Design work together. The Review tests today’s technology stack against your objectives, risks and constraints. The Design applies that understanding to build an architecture that optimises processes and mitigates the challenges it uncovered.

Strategic Architecture Review

A clear picture of your technology estate today.

We help customers understand their technology stack and how best to achieve business benefit from it, testing the current architecture for security risk, cost and constraints before any design work begins.

  • Alignment with business goals, growth and competitiveness.
  • Improved decision-making on technology investment and change.
  • Risk mitigation across vulnerabilities and security exposure.
  • Regulatory compliance readiness for audits and assessments.
  • Cost optimisation by removing redundant systems and resource waste.
The result: a documented view of where the architecture supports the business — and where it doesn’t.

Solution Design

An architecture built to scale and adapt.

A bespoke approach that goes beyond strategic app insights into the intricacies of your landscape — designing an architecture with scalability, integration and future readiness built in from the outset.

  • Scalability and flexibility that avoid future bottlenecks.
  • Interoperability and integration with your other strategic applications.
  • Innovation enablement, so the architecture supports future trends.
  • Enhanced performance by closing bottlenecks and inefficiencies.
  • Future readiness aligned to your long-term strategy.
The result: a practical, bespoke architecture that supports growth without unnecessary complexity or cost.

Measure twice, cut once.

The Review supplies the evidence. The Design turns it into an architecture that resonates with your business, whether you’re a nimble startup or an industry giant — so the technology response follows the decisions made, not the other way around.

What this helps you achieve

Better vendor decisions. Smoother change. Aligned stakeholders.

Beyond the architecture itself, a well-run review and design process changes how the organisation manages its technology relationships and its people.

Vendor management

Understand your technology vendor relationships more clearly — evaluating the effectiveness of solutions, contracts and services, and adjusting where it supports better integration.

Change management

Augment your organisational change management with insight into how the architecture can best support transformation, managing technology-related challenges through periods of transition.

Stakeholder alignment

Bring IT teams, business leaders and external partners into the same conversation, so everyone shares a common understanding of the architecture’s role in reaching strategic goals.

Design that connects to what happens next.

A review and design exercise is a starting point, not the destination. We help you carry the agreed architecture into operating model advisory, application architecture and implementation and integration, with a clear link between the business need, the decisions made and the outcomes you want to achieve.

What should your architecture do for you?

You may have a defined technology decision ahead, a legacy system holding you back, or simply a sense that your architecture could work harder. Talk to us about where you are and what you want to achieve.
