Custom Software Advisory

Custom Software Advisory

Custom software advisory is offered in situations where existing tools cannot reasonably meet organizational needs and thoughtful design decisions are required. The focus is on helping organizations clarify requirements, evaluate options, and make sound development decisions — rather than managing full delivery programs.

Engagements typically involve working with leaders, technical teams, or external vendors to shape requirements, review designs, and assess architectural choices. The emphasis is on practicality, usability, and long‑term maintainability within the organization’s existing environment.

Support can be provided at specific points in the lifecycle, such as early planning, design review, or implementation decision‑making.

Areas of Focus

  • Requirements clarification
    Helping articulate what is truly needed based on real workflows and constraints, rather than generic specifications.

  • Design and architecture guidance
    Reviewing system designs to ensure they are appropriate, maintainable, and aligned with broader organizational systems.

  • Build and vendor oversight
    Providing perspective during development efforts carried out by internal teams or external partners.

  • Integration considerations
    Assessing how custom solutions will interact with existing platforms, data, and processes.

  • Long‑term sustainability
    Supporting decisions that favor clarity, simplicity, and ease of maintenance over unnecessary complexity.
