Expertise · Engineering

Build systems the next team can operate and change.

Architecture, software, platforms and security have to work together in production. Our engineering practice connects those choices to the product, the estate and the people who will run it.

Engineering in short

Engineering expertise at ARCHITEKT covers enterprise and solution architecture, software engineering, cloud and platform engineering, legacy modernisation, and security and compliance. Each choice is tied to the product, the live estate and the team that will operate the system, so the next team can run and change what is built.

Specialties

Enterprise & Solution Architecture

Define domain boundaries, integration contracts and the target architecture around the business change. Make dependencies and trade-offs explicit before they become delivery problems.

Software Engineering

Build maintainable software around agreed interfaces and engineering standards, with testing and delivery practices appropriate to the system.

  • Enterprise and software architecture
  • Microservices and event-driven design
  • APIs and integration
  • Front-end platforms and headless commerce
  • Reliability and performance
  • Developer experience
  • Quality and testing

Cloud & Platform Engineering

Create the platform and deployment path product teams need. The Collektif includes multi-cloud and DevOps expertise, alongside Kubernetes and SRE practice; the proposal identifies the contribution required for your environment.

  • Cloud migration and cloud platforms
  • Platform engineering and internal factories
  • Sovereign and regulated hosting
  • Observability and SRE
  • Infrastructure as code
  • Kubernetes and containers
  • Automation and GitOps

Legacy Modernisation

Select the treatment each application needs and move the live estate in useful increments. Migration and retirement decisions account for the systems and teams that still depend on it.

  • Mainframe modernisation (z/OS, AS/400)
  • Monolith decomposition (strangler)
  • Rehost, replatform, refactor, rewrite (7R)
  • Language and framework modernisation
  • Legacy system decommissioning

With partner specialists: COBOL and 4GL modernisation; Batch to event-driven migration; Legacy data migration (DB2, VSAM); and Green-screen UX modernisation.

Security & Compliance

Bring applicable control requirements and evidence needs into system design. The proposal identifies the specific architecture, engineering and specialist review required for the environment.

  • Regulatory alignment and compliance architecture
  • Security by construction in regulated estates
  • Multi-tenant isolation and access control
  • Business continuity and resilience

With partner specialists: IAM and zero trust; AppSec and penetration testing; and SecOps and SIEM.

Questions

Who does the engineering work?
The founders and specialists of the Collektif, identified in the proposal for your environment. Your own teams keep ownership of the system and of the practices put in place.
Do you run penetration testing, SIEM or identity platforms?
We bring them in with partner specialists. Identity and zero trust, application security testing and security operations are scoped with those partners and coordinated with the architecture and engineering work.
