Advisory Investment & Engagement Models
Structured consulting models tailored for mid-to-large enterprises requiring senior database and internal tools leadership.
Diagnostic Architecture Audit
A thorough forensic review of your existing ERP relational database schemas, stored procedures, backend integrations, and custom internal tools to identify critical bottlenecks and structural risks.
- Relational schema topology & query bottleneck profiling
- Assessment of custom stored procedures and triggers
- Legacy API integration stress & deadlock inspection
- Detailed architecture roadmap document (35+ pages)
- Executive presentation and engineering handoff workshop
- 30-day technical clarification window
Targeted Engineering Sprint
Hands-on architectural steering, API bridge design, and code pattern guidance working directly alongside your internal IT or engineering team on a priority internal tool or ERP module.
- Dedicated senior consultant allocation (up to 32 hours/week)
- Direct code reviews, SQL query tuning, and schema refactoring
- API specification and decoupled service boundary design
- Automated integration test suites and migration scripts
- Weekly architecture alignment and roadblock removal sessions
- Comprehensive operational runbooks for internal operators
Strategic Advisory Retainer
Continuous senior technical advisory for ongoing systems governance, vendor proposal evaluations, quarterly schema reviews, and escalation support for critical database anomalies.
- 20 hours of senior advisory time per month
- Architecture review for upcoming feature requests and ERP patches
- Vendor technical specification vetting and contract audits
- Priority 4-hour technical escalation response during business hours
- Quarterly system health check and database indexing review
- Rollover of up to 5 unused hours into the next billing cycle
Key Factors Influencing Scope & Estimation
Every enterprise architecture engagement is tailored to your database volume, legacy integration dependencies, and uptime requirements.
Legacy Schema Volume & Fragmentation
Systems with hundreds of unnormalized custom tables, obsolete stored procedures, or undocumented triggers require deeper forensic discovery time.
Number of Integration Endpoints
Bridging between disparate systems (e.g. warehouse scanners, POS terminals, accounting ledgers, and e-commerce APIs) affects the scope of API wrapper designs.
Concurrency & Production Uptime Requirements
24/7 manufacturing plants requiring zero-downtime shadow runs and live database migrations require more rigorous validation staging than single-shift businesses.
Internal Team Co-Development Capacity
Whether our consultants provide pure architectural specifications or pair closely with your internal developers during implementation sprints.
