Technical assessment

IT consulting at Isatis covers four things: an independent technical assessment, an architecture and roadmap your leadership can act on, hands-on guidance inside a running project, and a second opinion or technical due diligence before a big decision. The advice comes from engineers who build and run production systems.

The assessment gives you an honest, independent view of your systems, architecture and development processes: where the real problems are and where improvements make the biggest difference. We assess where you stand and what to do about it, in writing.

Architecture and roadmap

You need a software architect when a decision is expensive to reverse: choosing a platform, splitting a monolith, moving to the cloud. An architect turns those decisions into a roadmap with milestones and trade-offs explained in language your leadership team can act on.

Our architects have hands-on experience building and scaling production systems, from both software development and IT operations. The result is a roadmap tied to your business goals, with milestones your teams can plan against.

Project guidance

Sometimes you need more than advice. You need someone in the room. Our consultants embed with your team to guide complex projects, help with technical decisions and bring business and engineering together.

We bring structure without bureaucracy: clear decision frameworks, early risk identification and regular checkpoints that keep projects on track. Our involvement scales up or down with what the project needs, a weekly steering role or full-time presence during a critical phase.

An assessment should not automatically lead to more custom software. In one project we advised the client to keep the software that already did the job, and to build custom functionality only for the part where nothing suitable existed. Integrating the rest was quicker and cheaper than rebuilding it. We build the software you cannot buy, and integrate the rest.

Second opinion and due diligence

A technical due diligence is an independent examination of a software product or company before an investment, acquisition or major contract: code quality, architecture, security, scalability, technical debt and the team. You receive an honest report on what you are buying and what it will cost to fix.

Big technology decision coming up? We provide independent second opinions backed by 30+ years of expertise. We sign an NDA before we see anything and work from the actual repositories.

A second opinion gives you an independent view of a proposal, an architecture or a running project: is the approach sound, is the estimate realistic, and what risks are not on the table yet. You receive a short written assessment with the findings ranked by impact.

We are technology-agnostic: the recommendation follows your situation and your team’s skills. If the best advice is to change nothing, or to keep working with your current supplier, that is what the report says.

If you want us to, yes. The advice stands on its own, and you can take the report to any team, including your own. If you do ask us to build, the architects who wrote the advice stay involved.

Yes. An assessment or a technical due diligence is usually a clearly scoped piece of work with a fixed set of questions, a start and an end date. Project guidance and architecture roles are more often ongoing, a few days a month.

A written report with the findings ranked by impact, the risks we see and a recommended sequence of actions with the trade-offs made explicit. We walk through it with your leadership and engineering team in the same session, so both hear the same story.
