Software architecture consulting

It tells you how software should be put together, or whether to buy it instead, before anyone builds. At The Gnar Company, software architecture consulting means senior engineers write down what the software must do, plan the tools, the connections and where it runs, and build clickable models of the key tasks. At the end you get one clear answer, and a fixed-price build plan if building is the answer.

Pick a firm that plans both options before it picks one. The Gnar Company’s software architecture consulting plans the product you could buy and the software you could build, including where each runs and what it connects to. Then we compare cost and fit, and give you one answer. If you should not build it, Gnar will say so, and the plan for the product you buy is yours to keep.

A technical feasibility assessment tells you whether software can be built as planned, and what it will take, before you sign for the build. In Gnar’s software architecture consulting, that means checking what it will be built with, what it must plug into and where it will run. Clickable models of the key tasks catch workflow problems while they are still cheap to fix.

Plan for how much use you expect and the systems you are keeping. The Gnar Company’s software architecture consulting picks the tools, how the parts fit together, the third‑party services it relies on and where it runs, before anything is built. Gnar built Qeepsake’s mobile app to scale. Qeepsake’s case study reports 20x growth in its user base and 700,000+ families served. For software you already run, Gnar’s no‑fee code audit comes first.

Yes. Gnar’s software architecture consulting is a fit for mid‑market companies that run on software nobody inside can change. Some have engineers who are busy with the day job. Some have no engineers at all. The Gnar Company has published 20 case studies with the client’s name on them, including Vermont Mutual, eZcater and the AARP Foundation.

Only if a rewrite is the right call. The Gnar Company’s software architecture consulting starts with a code audit for software you already run. It shows whether you need a rewrite at all. For First Line Technology, Gnar’s audit found that rebuilding the system behind the app would cost more than it was worth, so Gnar built a new version of the app on top of it. If your own engineers have the time and the direction, they should do the work.

Gnar’s no‑fee code audit is an outside review of software you already run, and the first step of software architecture consulting for an existing system. Under a non‑disclosure agreement, senior engineers at The Gnar Company read the code, how it is put together and what it connects to. You get the problems ranked, worst first. There is no fee and no obligation, and the audit can come back saying your code is in reasonable shape.

No. Gnar’s software architecture consulting ends with a recommendation, plus a plan with a fixed price when building wins. Your own engineers can build from it, or The Gnar Company can. You decide who builds it after you have seen the plan.
