Interim and fractional architects, on demand
Experienced enterprise, solution and technical architects, embedded into your organisation for as long as you need them, across the UK, Europe and the US. Tell us what you need and we'll typically share profiles of suitable architects within 48 hours.
When organisations call us
- A gap in your architecture function: A key architect leaves, a role is hard to fill, or a permanent hire is months away. We provide bridging capability so delivery doesn't stall.
- A programme that needs more capacity: Transformation, cloud migration, M&A integration or a platform decision that needs senior architecture input now, not next quarter.
- Specialist depth you don't need full time: A fractional enterprise architect or head of architecture for two or three days a week, setting direction and governance without a full-time salary.
- An architecture function to build: We stand up the capability on an interim basis, then help you hire the permanent team to take it forward.
How it works
- Understand the gap: A short conversation about the outcome you need, the level of architect and how long for. We'll tell you honestly whether and how we can help.
- Profiles within 48 hours: We typically share profiles of suitable architects within 48 hours, drawn from a network built over nine years of specialist architecture work. You meet them before anything is agreed.
- Embed and deliver: Your architect works as part of your team, with EP managing the engagement. Scale up, scale down or extend as your needs change.
- Transition: When the work is done, we hand over cleanly, or help you hire permanently if the role should stay.
The architects we provide
Enterprise architects, solution architects, data architects, application and integration architects, technology and cloud architects, security architects and business architects, from head of architecture down to hands-on technical level. Individuals or whole teams, on-site or remote.
Cleared for government, trusted across regulated sectors
We work with organisations across the UK, Europe and the US, in financial services, retail, manufacturing, life sciences and the public sector. For UK government work, we have a strong network of SC cleared architects, with DV cleared professionals available, built through over five years of supporting government programmes.
