Architecture as a Service
Ongoing access to senior architecture capability, in place of a one-off project that ends when the report is filed. Governance carries on after sign-off.
- Continuous governance
- On-demand advisory
- Roadmap upkeep
Enterprise architecture & technology consultancy
Considered architecture for organisations that cannot afford guesswork.
Nimbus Solutions works with directors and senior technology leaders in the UK public sector and regulated industries, turning complex estates into architecture that is understood, governed and used.

Four ways of working together
Each engagement is scoped around what the organisation needs to decide, build or govern. Many begin with a short piece of advisory work and settle into an ongoing arrangement.
Cloud strategy
Architecture-led direction for cloud adoption across Microsoft Azure, AWS and Google Cloud: target states, migration routes and platform decisions with a business case behind them.
- Target-state design
- Migration roadmap
- Platform evaluation
Security architecture
Zero Trust and secure-by-design treated as defaults, not afterthoughts. Design-level work covering identity, controls and reference architectures, built around risk and compliance obligations.
- Zero Trust design
- Identity & access management
- Reference architectures
Fractional leadership
Chief Architect or CTO capability on a part-time basis: technology strategy, governance ownership and board reporting without the cost of a full-time hire.
- Technology strategy
- Governance ownership
- Board reporting
Track record
Experience earned where the stakes are real
Nimbus Solutions is led by an SC Cleared Lead Enterprise Architect who connects strategy to delivery, turning business outcomes into target architectures, roadmaps and designs that teams can build, release and support.
The practice is grounded in TOGAF and the Zachman Framework for structure, and ITIL for the connection between architecture, service and change. Recent work spans enterprise strategy, security and AI, and business architecture with capability mapping.

Why Nimbus
Principles the work is held to
Business outcomes first
Every architecture decision is traced back to a business outcome, not a technology preference. If the connection cannot be drawn, the decision is questioned.
Built to be used
Roadmaps and reference architectures are only worth producing if the organisation can pick them up and run with them. Slideware that gets filed is a cost, not a result.
Honest about trade-offs
No architecture is free of compromise. The trade-offs are set out plainly, so decisions are made with open eyes rather than hidden behind a diagram.
Ongoing by design
Architecture as a Service means governance carries on after a project is signed off. The estate keeps moving, and so does the architecture that describes it.
