Advisory and delivery, across the lifecycle.
Eight service areas that meet you where the work begins - whether that is a boardroom alignment problem, a reference architecture, or a production system that needs to ship.
Digital Transformation Consulting
A credible plan for modernizing operations, technology, and ways of working - sequenced for continuity of business.

Enterprise Applications Strategy
Selection, design, and implementation advisory for the platforms that run your business - ERP, CRM, HCM, ITSM, and adjacent systems.
What it is
Vendor-neutral strategy and implementation guidance across the enterprise application stack. We help you choose, configure, and evolve platforms so they serve the business rather than constrain it.
Business outcomes
- Right-fit platform decisions with clear total cost of ownership
- Cleaner process design and reduced custom code debt
- Reliable integration with data and downstream systems
- Faster, safer upgrade and release cycles
Common client challenges
- Implementations overrun by scope and customization
- Multiple systems of record with unclear authority
- Business processes shaped by tooling, not strategy
- Aging deployments with mounting upgrade risk
The EKOM1 approach
- Clarify the business capabilities each platform should serve.
- Design process, data, and integration patterns before configuration.
- Hold a disciplined line on customization versus configuration.
- Plan for operability, upgrades, and change from day one.
Deliverables
- Platform strategy and selection framework
- Process, data, and integration blueprints
- Implementation oversight and vendor management
- Post go-live stabilization and enablement
Solution Architecture
Reference architectures, systems design, and architectural oversight that balance scalability, security, and cost.
What it is
Senior-led architecture engagements - from target-state design to hands-on review of in-flight builds. We are opinionated where it matters and flexible where it does not.
Business outcomes
- Systems that scale with the business, not against it
- Lower long-run cost through deliberate design choices
- Fewer production surprises through better upfront thinking
- Clarity for engineering teams on patterns and boundaries
Common client challenges
- Designs that work at demo scale but break under load
- Accumulating architectural drift across products
- Unclear ownership across shared services and platforms
- Security and compliance added late in the cycle
The EKOM1 approach
- Anchor on the workloads and quality attributes that matter most.
- Define target-state patterns and the trade-offs behind each one.
- Stay engaged through implementation - not just at design time.
- Leave behind documentation engineering teams actually use.
Deliverables
- Target-state and reference architectures
- Architecture decision records (ADRs)
- Non-functional requirements and quality attribute scenarios
- Architecture review cadence and governance
AI Adoption and Enablement
Strategy, build, and governance for AI that is grounded in your data and your workflows - deployed where it earns trust.
What it is
End-to-end support for enterprise AI adoption. We help you identify high-value use cases, architect responsibly, deploy production copilots and workflows, and build the governance model that keeps you in control as the landscape evolves.
Business outcomes
- Clear portfolio of prioritized, high-confidence use cases
- Measurable productivity or decision-quality improvements
- Governance your risk and compliance teams can stand behind
- AI capability internalized, not dependent on outside help
The EKOM1 approach
- Readiness assessment across data, workflow, risk, and culture.
- Use case identification, scoring, and portfolio sequencing.
- Pattern-based delivery with evaluation built in from day one.
- Governance, oversight, and change management to sustain adoption.
Deliverables
- AI readiness and opportunity assessment
- Use case scorecards and prioritized roadmap
- Reference architectures for copilots and workflow AI
- Evaluation, monitoring, and governance playbooks
Custom Application Development
Modern web applications, internal business tools, customer portals, and integration-driven apps - engineered for usability, scale, and maintainability.
What it is
Senior-led design and engineering for custom software where off-the-shelf doesn't fit. We focus on applications that do real work inside the enterprise - not demos or proofs-of-concept that stall before production.
Business outcomes
- Software that reflects how your business actually works
- Clear, maintainable codebases your team can evolve
- Secure, integrated access to the systems that matter
- Confident deploys, observable systems, predictable costs
The EKOM1 approach
- Anchor on the user outcome, not just the feature list.
- Small, senior teams with deep product sensibilities.
- Modern stacks, opinionated defaults, tested defaults.
- Operational readiness and documentation at launch.
Deliverables
- Product design and interaction specifications
- Production-grade application and services
- Integration with identity, data, and existing systems
- Runbooks, test suites, and enablement materials
Integration & Modernization
Untangle legacy systems, modernize APIs, and deliver integrations that hold up under enterprise scale.
What it is
Pragmatic modernization for teams carrying years of accumulated integration complexity. We design for decoupling, observability, and safe change - not heroic rewrites.
Business outcomes
- Faster, safer delivery across dependent systems
- Lower incident rates through clearer contracts and observability
- Reduced lock-in to fragile point-to-point integrations
- Preserved business continuity during transition
The EKOM1 approach
- Map the real integration surface - not just the documented one.
- Choose patterns (event, API, batch) deliberately for each flow.
- Modernize in phases, with strong rollback and parallel-run options.
- Invest in observability and contract testing as standard practice.
Deliverables
- Integration architecture and API strategy
- Event, API, and data-integration reference patterns
- Legacy retirement and parallel-run plans
- Observability and contract-testing standards
Cloud and Platform Advisory
Decisions about cloud, platform engineering, and developer experience - aligned to your scale, security posture, and cost envelope.

- Stand up enablement so patterns are adopted, not documented.
Deliverables
- Cloud and platform strategy
- Landing zone and reference environments
- Developer enablement and golden paths
- Cost, security, and compliance guardrails
Delivery Governance / Program Advisory
Executive-level oversight that keeps complex programs honest - about scope, risk, quality, and whether they're still solving the right problem.
What it is
Independent program assurance and advisory for leaders running large, multi-vendor, or high-visibility initiatives. We provide the perspective executives don't always get from inside the program.
Business outcomes
- Earlier visibility into real (not reported) program health
- Clearer decisions at critical gates
- Fewer surprise escalations to executive teams
