Industries
Thirty-six years of enterprise architecture across six industries. The technologies differ; the failure modes rhyme. What follows is where the practice has actually worked, not a list of markets we would like to enter.
Financial services
Systems where correctness is not negotiable and the audit trail matters as much as the transaction. Regulatory scope, settlement timing, and integration across institutions that were never designed to talk to each other.
Healthcare
Long-lived systems carrying sensitive data, where privacy is a design constraint rather than a policy document, and where the cost of downtime is measured in something other than revenue.
Automotive
Connected ecosystems spanning vehicle, cloud, and dealer systems. Telemetry at volume, long product lifecycles, and software that has to keep working on hardware shipped years ago.
Aerospace
Environments where verification is the deliverable and assumptions get written down. Systems designed for scrutiny, traceability, and the possibility that the reviewer will ask why.
Retail
Demand that arrives in spikes, inventory that spans channels, and integration between systems bought at different times for different reasons.
Software
Platform and product engineering for companies whose product is the system itself — where architecture decisions compound directly into delivery speed.
Not listed, but the problem sounds familiar?
The industries differ more than the failure modes do. If the shape of the problem matches, the sector usually matters less than it looks.
