Architecture expertise across every critical domain

From the security of a single integration to the full transformation of an enterprise technology estate — Ergotech brings deep, cross-domain expertise to your most complex architecture challenges.

Service 01

Solution Architecture

Good solution architecture is the bridge between what the business needs and what engineers can build. Ergotech works upstream of delivery — defining system boundaries, integration patterns, data flows, and non-functional requirements so that implementation teams have a clear, buildable target.

We produce architecture artefacts that are genuinely useful — not presentations to be filed, but working documents that guide real delivery decisions over months and years.

  • Reference architecture and system context diagrams
  • Integration and API design patterns
  • Non-functional requirements and quality attributes
  • Technology selection and trade-off analysis
  • Architecture Decision Records (ADRs)
  • Review of vendor-proposed solution designs

Security Architecture

Security cannot be retrofitted. It must be an architectural constraint from the earliest stages of design. Ergotech applies threat modelling, Zero Trust principles, and defence-in-depth thinking to design systems that are secure by default — not secure by wishful thinking.

We work across the full security architecture stack — from identity and access management through to network segmentation, endpoint posture, data classification, and compliance mapping.

  • Zero Trust architecture design and assessment
  • Identity and Access Management (IAM) architecture
  • Threat modelling (STRIDE, PASTA)
  • Cloud security posture and control frameworks
  • Network segmentation and micro-segmentation design
  • Security reference architectures and patterns
  • Compliance mapping (ISO 27001, NZISM, CIS, NIST CSF)
Identity Plane — Entra ID / SSO / MFA
Policy Engine — Conditional Access
Network Perimeter — ZTNA / SD-WAN
Workload — EDR / CWPP Controls
Data — Classification & DLP

Infrastructure Architecture

Modern infrastructure is software. Landing zones, network topology, platform engineering, and operational tooling all require architectural thinking — not just engineering execution. Ergotech designs infrastructure that is scalable, observable, and manageable at enterprise scale.

Whether you are migrating to cloud, designing a hybrid network, or building an internal developer platform, we bring a structured architectural approach that reduces long-term operational burden.

  • Cloud landing zone design (AWS, Azure, multi-cloud)
  • Network architecture — hybrid, SD-WAN, SASE
  • Internal Developer Platform (IDP) architecture
  • Infrastructure-as-Code strategy and governance
  • Observability and platform telemetry design
  • Disaster recovery and resilience architecture
  • DNS, PKI, and shared services design

Shared Services — DNS, PKI, Monitoring

Strategy & Planning

Technology strategy is only valuable when it connects directly to business outcomes and is constrained by organisational reality. Ergotech develops roadmaps that are ambitious but buildable — setting direction across planning horizons while acknowledging the complexity of real enterprise environments.

We help technology leaders translate board-level aspirations into platform strategies, investment cases, and sequenced delivery roadmaps.

  • Enterprise technology strategy and roadmapping
  • Platform portfolio assessment and rationalisation
  • Investment case and business case development
  • Horizon-based planning (compete, simplify, transform)
  • Architecture governance and review board design
  • Vendor and technology evaluation frameworks
  • Cost-to-serve and cost-to-acquire modelling
Horizon 1 — Stabilise & Optimise
Horizon 2 — Simplify & Rationalise
Horizon 3 — Transform & Differentiate
Continuous — Governance & Measurement

Service 05

Transformation

Digital transformation is not a technology project — it is an organisational change that technology enables. Ergotech brings architecture leadership to transformation programmes, ensuring that the technical foundation keeps pace with the ambition of the business vision.

We have guided organisations through cloud migrations, DevSecOps adoption, platform consolidation, and operating model redesign — bridging the gap between strategy and the engineering teams who must deliver it.

  • Cloud migration strategy and architecture
  • Application modernisation (lift, replatform, rearchitect)
  • DevSecOps framework and toolchain design
  • Platform engineering and product operating model
  • Organisational capability assessment
  • Legacy decommissioning strategy
  • Change and adoption architecture
