Perspectives on what matters

Concise 2–4 page briefs on the technology and business trends shaping enterprise architecture decisions. Our perspective, not a vendor's.

AI · Q1 2026
Why Enterprise AI Needs an Architecture, Not Just a Model

LLM adoption without a platform strategy creates shadow AI, duplicated costs, and ungoverned data flows. Our perspective on what an enterprise AI architecture actually requires.

FinOps · Q3 2025
Cloud Cost Culture Is a People Problem, Not a Tooling Problem

Most organisations have cost dashboards. Few have cost accountability. The gap is organisational — and closing it requires a different intervention than buying more FinOps tooling.

Platform Engineering · Q2 2025
The Platform Engineering Trap: When IDPs Create More Toil Than They Eliminate

Internal developer platforms that aren't treated as products become expensive maintenance burdens. The four anti-patterns we see repeatedly — and how to avoid them.

Cloud · Q4 2024
Multi-Cloud Is a Risk Strategy, Not a Vendor Strategy

Enterprises adopt multi-cloud to avoid lock-in — but achieve it accidentally. Our framework for making multi-cloud decisions intentionally, with clear trade-off accounting.

Integration · Q2 2024
The End of the ESB: What Comes After Your Middleware Decommission

Decommissioning BizTalk or MuleSoft isn't a project — it's a capability transition. The organisations that succeed have already invested in event-driven architecture before cutting the old system over.

Transformation · Q1 2024
Digital Transformation Starts with Honest Readiness, Not Ambition

Most transformation programmes are designed around ambition. They fail because of unaddressed readiness gaps. The organisations that succeed invest in diagnosis before commitment.
