Making good technical decisions is hard—especially in complex, high-stakes environments like healthcare, finance, or critical infrastructure. You’re balancing safety, compliance, cost, and future viability—and you need advice you can trust.
At Oso Consulting, we provide honest, technically grounded consulting that helps leadership teams, CTOs, programme managers, and operational leads make informed architectural choices. We’re not a product vendor. We don’t resell platforms. We’re an independent consulting partner that cuts through the noise to give you options, trade-offs, and real-world guidance.
We work at the intersection of business need, technical feasibility, and long-term sustainability. Whether you’re designing a new platform, reviewing an ageing one, or assessing your options for modernisation, we provide expert advice and practical support to help you make confident decisions.
Our consulting services include:
We conduct thorough, independent reviews of your existing technical landscape—codebases, integrations, hosting platforms, and data flows—highlighting what's working, what’s fragile, and what’s holding you back. Whether you're preparing for procurement, a major transformation, or a merger, we help identify technical debt, architectural risk, and compliance concerns early. Our findings are clearly documented, actionable, and aligned with business context—not just a technical audit, but a strategic decision-making tool.
We work with your stakeholders to define a future-state architecture that’s scalable, interoperable, and aligned with your organisation’s goals. That means selecting the right patterns and principles, identifying viable technologies, and shaping how systems will evolve together. Whether you're designing greenfield platforms or modernising a legacy-heavy estate, we help you chart a path that balances innovation with stability—and show how to get there from where you are now.
Large-scale digital change can be overwhelming. We provide structure, clarity, and leadership through the chaos—mapping out how people, processes, and platforms come together to deliver real transformation. That includes sequencing workstreams, defining key milestones, managing interdependencies, and helping you identify the right internal and external capabilities. Whether it’s an EPR rollout, platform consolidation, or cross-site integration, we help make change manageable and measurable.
Choosing the right tool or platform isn’t about ticking boxes—it’s about knowing what matters, what scales, and what integrates. We help you select the technologies and vendors that actually meet your requirements, without bias or hidden incentives. Our evaluation frameworks balance technical fit, long-term cost, maintainability, compliance, and strategic alignment—so you avoid expensive mistakes and stay in control of your architecture.
Sometimes you need more than a slide deck—you need experienced technical leadership embedded in your team. We offer interim CTO, enterprise architect, or solution architect support for critical phases of delivery. Whether you’re lacking internal bandwidth, going through leadership transition, or want to de-risk a complex delivery, we step in to provide clarity, direction, and hands-on guidance. We speak the language of both developers and boardrooms, helping to align delivery with strategy from day one.
We help you understand, rationalise, and evolve legacy systems that still matter. Whether it’s a critical in-house platform with no documentation or a complex estate of ageing technologies, we provide a clear, step-by-step modernisation roadmap. This includes technical assessment, risk mapping, integration strategy, and phased migration planning—ensuring your legacy doesn’t become a liability, but a manageable, strategic asset.
We’ve sat on both sides of the table—as engineers and as decision-makers. We’ve seen what happens when technical decisions are made based on sales pitches, short-term fixes, or organisational silos. Our approach is different.
We bring deep cross-sector experience from healthcare, finance, and critical systems—where architecture isn’t just about performance, it’s about safety, auditability, and long-term maintainability. We’re comfortable in the room with board members and DevOps engineers alike, translating business objectives into technical plans that can actually be delivered.
If you want a slick slide deck and a vague roadmap, we’re not your people. But if you want practical, experienced guidance rooted in real delivery—we’d love to help.
Short-term advisory (architecture review, technical due diligence, second opinion)
Project-phase support (solution architecture design, technical strategy)
Embedded roles (interim CTO, enterprise architect, delivery assurance)
Whether you’re planning a major procurement, struggling with architectural sprawl, or just want a second opinion—we’re here to offer calm, experienced, vendor-neutral support.
