Services
Whether you need strategic technology leadership, architectural clarity, or hands-on delivery governance — 3LAYRS adapts to your organisation's context and needs.
Fractional CTO
Senior technology leadership without the full-time commitment. Strategic guidance, engineering oversight, and stakeholder communication — tailored to your stage and pace.
When you need this
- You need senior technology leadership but not a full-time CTO
- Your engineering team lacks strategic direction or architectural oversight
- You're facing critical platform, vendor, or build-vs-buy decisions
- Your current CTO needs senior support on strategy or architecture
- You need interim leadership during a CTO transition
What you get
- Clear technology strategy aligned with business goals
- Improved engineering team capability and delivery confidence
- Better vendor and platform decisions
- Stronger bridge between business leadership and engineering
- Reduced technology risk and technical debt
Example engagements
- Technology strategy and roadmap definition
- Engineering team assessment and coaching
- Board-level technology representation
- Hiring strategy for senior technical roles
- Build-vs-buy and vendor evaluation
Enterprise Architecture
A clear picture of your technology landscape — where you are, where you need to go, and how to get there. Architecture that enables the business rather than constraining it.
When you need this
- You don't have a clear picture of your current technology landscape
- Multiple teams are building overlapping capabilities
- A major transformation or migration is on the roadmap
- Regulatory or compliance requirements demand architectural clarity
- Technology costs are growing faster than business value
What you get
- Trusted current-state landscape and capability map
- Target architecture aligned with business strategy
- Clear governance principles that accelerate rather than block
- Sequenced transformation roadmap with value milestones
- Shared architectural language across the organisation
Example engagements
- Current-state architecture assessment
- Target architecture definition
- Capability and landscape mapping
- Architecture principles and standards
- Transformation roadmap development
Solution Architecture
Concrete solution designs for complex initiatives. From integration strategy to cloud platform decisions — architecture that translates vision into buildable reality.
When you need this
- A complex initiative needs architectural guidance before teams start building
- Integration between systems is becoming fragile or hard to manage
- You're evaluating cloud platforms or modernisation approaches
- Delivery teams need architectural guardrails without heavy governance
- An architecture review is needed before a major go-live
What you get
- Clear, implementable solution designs
- Confident integration and data flow decisions
- Reduced delivery risk through design assurance
- Platform and technology choices backed by analysis
- Teams empowered to build with clarity and confidence
Example engagements
- Solution design for key initiatives
- System integration architecture
- Cloud architecture and migration planning
- Modernisation and re-platforming guidance
- Architecture reviews and design assurance
Delivery & Governance
Lightweight governance that keeps delivery on track without adding overhead. Decision frameworks, cross-team alignment, and architecture oversight that actually helps.
When you need this
- Architecture decisions are being made inconsistently across teams
- Cross-team alignment is difficult and delivery friction is increasing
- Programmes need architectural oversight without slowing delivery
- Decision-making is slow because responsibilities are unclear
- Technical debt is accumulating without visibility or control
What you get
- Clear decision rights and escalation paths
- Consistent architectural decisions across teams
- Reduced delivery friction through better alignment
- Visible technical debt with a managed reduction approach
- Governance proportional to risk — lightweight but effective
Example engagements
- Architecture governance framework design
- Decision facilitation and conflict resolution
- Cross-team alignment and integration coordination
- Programme architecture oversight
- Technical debt assessment and reduction planning
