Add Senior Azure Architecture Guidance on a Recurring Cadence.

Azure, AI, data, vendor, and roadmap decisions need senior architecture review before they turn into recurring risk. The Architecture Office puts that review on a monthly retainer that runs 6 to 12 months, not a new project for every decision.

How We Work

  • Advise the team on architecture, roadmap, and vendor decisions.

  • Maintain a decision register, Architecture Decision Record (ADR) review, and recurring architecture review.
  • Escalate material risks, owner decisions, and next actions.

Questions

Before You Book.

The first call confirms the goal, the timeline, and whether this service matches the work.

Does this replace delivery ownership?

No. The Architecture Office supports decisions, tradeoff review, and oversight. Delivery tasks stay owned by your team or a separate Statement of Work (SOW).

How long should the retainer run?

A 6- to 12-month term works best, so architecture review, roadmap decisions, vendor review, and governance can mature. Terms can be reviewed as the roadmap settles.

Can this include implementation oversight?

Yes. Oversight can be included for approved work, but hands-on implementation remains separate unless the SOW includes it.

How is this different from Managed AI and Cloud Governance?

Architecture Office looks forward: it reviews the decisions, vendors, and roadmap your team is about to commit to. Managed AI and Cloud Governance looks at what is already running — risk, cost, and controls in production. Run Architecture Office when upcoming decisions need a senior reviewer; run Governance when production risk needs named owners.

Talk Through the Architecture Support You Need.

Decisions made between engagements without review accumulate as quiet architecture debt. Bring the recurring decisions, roadmap pressure, and delivery risks. The first architecture call is free for qualified teams and confirms whether the Architecture Office is the right service.
