Managing complex architecture projects and maximising technology investments can be tough, especially without the right resources in-house. That’s where Architecture as a Service (AaaS) comes in.
AaaS transforms how organisations approach technology planning by offering access to experienced architects on-demand — without the cost or commitment of a full-time team.
How Architecture as a Service (AaaS) Supports Your Goals
AaaS allows you to tap into expert architects when you need them. Instead of hiring permanent staff, you engage architects on a project or outcome basis, adjusting support as your needs change.
Here’s how it works:
- Flexible engagement models: Choose time and materials or outcome-based engagements.
- On-demand expertise: Access experienced local architects without growing your internal team.
- End-to-end architecture support: From enterprise to solution and business architecture.
Whether you’re responding to increased demand or building a mature architecture function, AaaS provides the flexibility and expertise to support your goals.
Why is AaaS Gaining Momentum?
AaaS is helping organisations manage growing architecture demands while staying flexible to shifting priorities. Here's a quick look at how you can benefit:
- Scalable, agile support: Flex your architecture capacity as projects scale, without the overhead.
- Cost-effective expertise: Access the right skills when you need them, no long-term commitments.
- Accelerated tech adoption: Expert guidance on cloud, integrations, and complex tech decisions.
- Support only when needed: Avoid large internal teams for work that comes in waves.
- Stronger strategic outcomes: Proven frameworks and experienced architects keep your tech aligned to business goals.
Seisma Group’s Approach to AaaS
Our AaaS model is built on best practice and tailored to each organisation. We work as an extension of your team, with a clear framework:
- Initiation & Transition In: We align on objectives, governance, and success criteria. If needed, we manage a smooth transition from any outgoing provider.
- Discovery: We assess current architecture maturity and review existing documentation to understand where you’re at and where you need to be.
- Operations: We create a work plan focused on progressing key initiatives and lifting architecture maturity, adjusting as priorities shift.
- Review & Replan: Regular reviews keep progress on track. We assess what’s working, adjust the plan, and ensure continued alignment with business needs.
- Transition Out: We handle the handover with documentation, knowledge transfer, so you have the confidence that you’re set up for success.
