Advice from people who still have to ship it.
Most technology advice arrives as a document and leaves before the consequences do. We build and run commerce platforms ourselves, so the recommendation has to be one we would be willing to implement.
Where an outside view is worth paying for.
Not strategy in the abstract. Specific decisions, with the trade-offs written down and the reasoning left behind for whoever inherits it.
Architecture review
An honest read on what you have: where it will hold, where it will break under growth, and which parts are worth keeping.
Platform selection
Structured evaluation against your actual requirements rather than a vendor scorecard, including the requirements you have not written down yet.
Modernisation roadmap
A sequenced plan for moving off legacy systems that keeps the business trading throughout, because a big-bang cutover rarely survives contact with reality.
Build versus buy
The calculation done properly — total cost including the maintenance years, not just the build quote against a licence fee.
Integration strategy
How your systems should talk to each other, and which integrations are worth the ongoing maintenance they will demand.
Cost and capacity modelling
What your infrastructure will cost at three times the volume, so growth does not arrive with an unexpected invoice.
How an engagement usually runs.
We look at the systems, the constraints and the commercial pressure behind the question, because the stated problem is often not the binding one.
- Systems and architecture review
- Interviews with the people who operate it
- Commercial and timeline constraints
- The question behind the question
Options set out with their trade-offs, costs and risks made explicit — including the option of doing nothing, which is sometimes correct.
- Options with explicit trade-offs
- Cost over the full lifetime, not just build
- Risks named rather than softened
- Do-nothing considered honestly
A recommendation with the reasoning attached, so the decision can be revisited later by people who were not in the room.
- Clear recommendation, not a menu
- Reasoning documented for successors
- Sequenced implementation plan
- Optional oversight during delivery
The things buyers actually ask
Sometimes, and we will say so plainly when we do. If eqomOS is wrong for your situation we would rather tell you than sell you a platform you will fight for three years.
It depends entirely on scope — an architecture review is weeks, a modernisation roadmap for a large estate is longer. We would rather scope it honestly on a call than quote a number here that fits nobody.
We can, and we can also hand the plan to your own team or another partner. Recommendations are written to be implementable by someone other than us.
What this connects to
Every module runs standalone and every module talks to the kernel. These are the ones most often deployed alongside it.
