Software Architecture Consulting

There are quite a few challenges when designing a reliable and secure software architecture. First, the software resources are finite, and the clients should understand that there would be some limitations to the design. Usually, the software architecture consulting team talks that through during the initial stage, so both sides have realistic expectations about the system. 

Second, the architects might experience integration and compatibility issues in development, which is why the team conducts a thorough analysis of the legacy systems and the business requirements to understand what platforms, frameworks, and languages would work best for this product within a certain budget.

Third, different project contributing teams may lack proper communication, which will influence the result. This is why we always connect with other teams on the project to have a unified view of the process, app needs, and business possibilities. 

The main components of the software architecture are environment, infrastructure, and framework.  Each choice will depend on the business task the given software should solve, the target audience, and the legacy system (if any).

Software architecture is a general level of how the software components are organized to create an effective system. It deals with what and where should be deployed for the system to work the best. Software design deal with the level-specific functioning of the separate components. It deals with how something should be deployed on every level for the system to work.

Having a software architecture designed before developing the system helps the business realistically assess the technologies and tools needed to achieve the app's objectives. Software architecture is also used to define various attributes (performance, quality, scalability, etc.) that would dictate the use of tools and services down the line to reach maximum efficiency. It also shows the engineers the relationships between the services, users, and servers, so they can predict possible incidents and design the risk management right away. 

Architecture patterns are the ready-made forms that solve common recurring architecture issues. For example, a microkernel is a pattern used in adaptable systems, whereas a pipe is a pattern for structure.

We strive to provide better software architecture consulting and other services to improve businesses, which s why we’re always searching for skilled professionals. Our hiring process includes a few key steps. First, we review your CV to see if your qualification matches our job requirements. Then, we test the applicant’s English language skills. If passed, the applicant receives a technical task to prove the knowledge and skills so we can be sure we’re hiring the right person, and the applicants to evaluate their abilities to meet our demands. After the technical test, we invite the short-listed candidates for an in-person interview and obtain their approval to run a background check. Then we negotiate the contract details and sign a job contract and other documents with our new employee.

So far, we have completed over 200 projects, including delivering software architecture consulting services. Since starting Relevant, we have partnered with various companies globally. We developed top-notch solutions for logistics and transportation, finance, e-commerce, education, healthcare, and other industries, and helped our clients streamline their IT infrastructure.

Our pricing model depends on two core factors: the time we spend on developing the solution or providing service, and the resources we use to reach the project’s objectives. This pricing model applies to all services we provide, and we can give you an estimate once we know the project details (scope of work, required tech stack, duration, etc.)

We work with any type of business. Small, medium, and enterprise-level companies as well as startups are all welcome here. We have quite an extensive portfolio so you can better understand what services we offer and the technologies we’re skilled in. Let’s have a quick chat about your project and see what we can do to make it happen.
