Audit · Technology
A review of your existing system and architecture.
For existing code, architecture, infrastructure, performance, security, technical debt and integrations.
What this means for you
- a system that stays in your ownership
- phased delivery with a working build at each milestone
- documentation and training at handover
What we review
- source code
- architecture
- infrastructure
- performance
- security
- technical debt
- integrations
What you get
System status
What works, what's risky and what isn't sustainable long term.
Priorities
What needs solving now and what can wait.
Proposed architecture
A target design with the reasoning behind each decision.
Roadmap
Phases, an effort estimate and recommended next steps.
The questions the review answers
- whether the system can be extended or not
- where the security risks are
- what happens at twice the load
- what a replacement would actually involve
- which parts depend on a single person
- what it costs to leave the system as it is
What we need for the review
The review is faster and more accurate when access and one knowledgeable contact are available. When access does not exist, that itself says something about the state.
- access to the source code
- access to environments and monitoring
- existing documentation, even if incomplete
- a conversation with someone who uses the system daily
- a list of known problems
How we build the system
Architecture
We define the data model, modules and system boundaries before development, so later growth doesn't require a rewrite.
UX/UI
You approve the user journeys and a prototype of the key screens before any feature is written.
Frontend and backend
The interface and the server side are built to one standard: readable code covered by automated tests.
Integrations
Connections to ERP, CRM, document systems and registries, with logging and retries.
Data
Migration, cleanup and data quality rules, so the new system doesn't inherit the old errors.
Security, quality, rollout
Security
Authentication and permissions, encryption in transit and at rest, an audit trail and a review before go-live.
Testing
Automated tests, regression and acceptance testing against your criteria, not ours.
Deployment
Separate environments, phased release and the ability to roll back within minutes.
Handover
Code, access, documentation and team training. The system stays yours.
Maintenance
An agreed response time, monitoring and a monthly allocation for enhancements.

FAQ
Can you extend our existing system instead of building a new one?
Yes. We first look at what is worth keeping; we propose new development only when modernisation isn't enough.
Who owns the code?
You do. At handover you receive the code, the access and the documentation.
What happens after go-live?
With an agreed response time, monitoring and a monthly allocation for enhancements.
