At ECSA, we do architecture. That’s it. We don’t do IT management, IT operations, or project management. We do one thing, and we do it very well. Now we want to share with you what we call “Architecture-as-a-Service” and “Architecture on Demand”. In short, Architecture Outsourcing.expertise to meet our clients' needs.
Architecture-as-a-Service is an effort to move your organization away from looking for head count to delivering an end-product, one that you can capitalized. In other words, allow you to move away from an Opex model to a Capex model. This helps your budget because you no longer have to deal with a Human Resource based model.
But the problem with any “as-a-Service” model is that you want to be able to access that service whenever you need it. Your current business model means that, when you need an architect, you have to go to HR, HR will go head-hunting, and the result is that weeks and months can pass before you can start architecting your solution that impacts delivery.
Architecture on Demand allows the Client to access architecture services on short notice and an as-needed approach rather than having to go to tender each time something is needed. It leverages a retainer system that is agreed to at the beginning of the relationship and then, the Client pulls from the retainer whenever they need architecture support. The result? Delivery times speed up and are predictable.
