Technical consulting and solution architecture
Bytelink Technologies helps organisations make technical decisions before they spend heavily. It advises on how a new system should be built, how the pieces fit together and what the work will take. It then builds what it recommends. Bytelink Technologies delivers the consulting from Brisbane to organisations across Australia, with the scope and price agreed in writing.
What Bytelink Technologies offers
Solution architecture is the plan for how a system's parts fit together. Software architecture consulting is another name for this service. Each service below ends in a written document you can act on.
Technical discovery
A short, structured investigation of a problem. It covers the workflow, data, systems and risks, and it ends in a written recommendation, scope and estimate.
Solution architecture
A plan for how a new system should be built, including components, data, integrations, hosting, security and cost. The plan is written down so a delivery team can follow it.
Cloud and delivery setup
Cloud environments on Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services (AWS) or Google Cloud, with deployment pipelines, which release each change the same way, and monitoring. Infrastructure is defined as code, which means environments are described in files that can be reviewed and rebuilt.
AI use case assessment
An AI use case is one task that AI could take on. Bytelink Technologies tests whether it is feasible, safe and worth it on a sample of your own data.
Problems technical consulting solves
- A system has become slow, unstable or expensive to change, and nobody knows why
- Two options look similar, and the wrong one would cost months
- A cloud environment grew without a plan and nobody is sure what is running
- An AI idea sounds promising, and nobody can say whether it would work on your data
- A software product needs an architecture that will support growth
Who it is for
- Business owners and managers without a technical lead who need an engineer's view before they decide
- Organisations whose system has become slow, unstable or expensive to change
- Founders planning a software product who want the architecture right before they grow
- Organisations moving systems to the cloud or putting in order an environment that grew without a plan
What you receive
- Written findings in plain English, with the technical detail in appendices
- Architecture diagrams and decision records, which explain why each choice was made
- Risks, ranked by impact, with ways to reduce them
- An estimate and a staged roadmap you can act on
How a consulting engagement runs
Brief
A short conversation covers the decision you need to make, who is involved and when it is needed.
Investigate
Bytelink Technologies reads the code, the documents and the environment, interviews the people involved and tests the key assumptions.
Report
You receive written findings, options and a recommendation, presented and discussed with your team.
Deliver
If you choose to proceed, the same engineer builds what was recommended.
Questions about technical consulting
Does Bytelink Technologies only give advice, or does it also build?
Bytelink Technologies builds as well as advises. Every recommendation comes with a realistic plan to carry it out, and the engineer who wrote it can build it with you.
How long does a technical discovery take?
A technical discovery for a single workflow takes days, and a larger system takes longer. The size and cost are agreed in writing before it starts.
Which cloud platforms does Bytelink Technologies work with?
Bytelink Technologies works mainly with Microsoft Azure, and also with AWS and Google Cloud. It recommends the platform that suits your existing systems, your skills and where your data is allowed to be stored.
