Enterprise Architecture
Aligning business capabilities, information, applications, and technology behind one strategy — a target state your leadership agrees on, and a roadmap that survives contact with delivery. Built with AI and automation doing the heavy lifting.
When Teams Call Us
Architecture work usually starts with a decision that cannot be made confidently, because nobody holds a complete picture of the business, its information, and the systems that support it.
Powered by AI & Automation
Traditional architecture work is slow because most of the effort goes into gathering information rather than making decisions. We automate the gathering, so the time goes where it belongs.
- Automated discovery — we read what your estate already tells us: inventories, cloud accounts, code repositories, and integration logs.
- AI-assisted analysis — contracts, runbooks, and system documentation are summarised into a current-state picture your team can correct quickly.
- AI-assisted drafting — capability maps, decision records, and roadmap options are drafted for an architect to challenge, edit, and own.
- Automated standards checks — designs and cloud configurations are checked against the standards you agreed, not reviewed once and forgotten.
- A living architecture — the repository is refreshed by automation, so it still reflects reality after the engagement ends.

"AI is fast at assembling the picture. Deciding what to keep, replace, or retire is still an architect's judgement, and the client's decision."
logicacode architecture principle
Four Domains, One Architecture
Enterprise architecture covers the whole organisation — people, processes, information, and technology — not the technology layer alone. Each domain only makes sense in relation to the others.
Business
The operating model: capabilities, value streams, processes, roles, and the organisational structure that has to deliver the strategy.
Information
What the business needs to know: data domains and ownership, how information flows between functions, and the quality it has to meet.
Application
The systems that support each capability, where they overlap, and how they fit together to support the work end to end.
Technology
The platforms underneath: infrastructure, cloud, networks, and the security and operational foundations everything else depends on.
Not the same as solution architecture
A solution architect designs one system well. An enterprise architect works across them: the decisions that affect several programmes at once, the standards everyone builds to, and the trade-offs between what one team needs and what the organisation can sustain. We do both, and we keep them distinct.
It needs an executive sponsor
Architecture decisions cross budgets and departments, so they hold only when someone senior owns them. We ask for that sponsor at the start. Without one, the work produces diagrams instead of change — the single most common reason architecture programmes fail.
What We Deliver
Each engagement produces something your teams can act on — not a document that is read once and filed.
How an Engagement Runs
The same three stages as every logicacode engagement, applied to architecture. Timings below are typical; the scope of your estate sets the real shape.
Discover
Typically 2–4 weeks
Automated discovery of the landscape, AI-assisted review of existing documentation, and interviews with the people who know how it really works.
You provide: access to inventories and the right people.
You receive: a validated current-state picture and the questions that matter.
Build
Typically 4–8 weeks
Target-state options, trade-offs, and decision records — with prototypes or proofs of concept where a decision needs evidence rather than opinion.
You provide: decisions at agreed checkpoints.
You receive: an agreed target state, decision records, and a sequenced roadmap.
Deploy
Handover, then ongoing as agreed
Handover into delivery, with governance, automated standards checks, and a repository that stays current as the estate changes.
You provide: the teams who will carry the work forward.
You receive: working governance and an architecture that stays accurate.
Working With Your Team
Most clients already have architects. We are there to add capacity, an outside view, and the automation that makes the analysis faster — not to replace an in-house function or to hand over a framework nobody asked for.
Where you have no architecture function yet, we can act as the design authority for a defined period and leave your team able to run it.
We work in whichever framework and notation you already use — TOGAF, ArchiMate, Zachman, or your own — rather than arriving with one and asking everyone to learn it.
From Architecture to Delivery
Architecture earns its reputation for shelfware when the plan and the delivery sit in different places. Here the same teams that design the target state also build it: AI and automation, software engineering, and data and cloud work. Every roadmap move names the measure that will show it worked.

Start with the picture, not the plan
Tell us the decision you are trying to make. The first conversation is a 45-minute call with an architect, and ends with an honest view of whether we can help. We reply to every inquiry within two business days.
