Consulting

Before deciding what to do with a system, you need to know what state it is in.

We review code, architecture, technical security, performance and delivery processes, including Adobe Experience Manager implementations. It ends in a document with prioritized findings, not a sales pitch.

When it fits

Questions now argued with opinions.

An audit answers with evidence what is being argued today with opinions.

  • You inherited a system and nobody knows how it was built.
  • Every change takes longer than the last.
  • You are about to buy, integrate or replace a platform.
  • There are doubts about the security or stability of the system.
  • You want an independent opinion on a vendor’s work.
  • Your AEM implementation has become hard to maintain.

What it includes

What we review in the system.

  • Code

    Quality, readability, tests, dependencies and technical debt, with concrete examples from the repository.

  • Architecture

    Components, integrations and system boundaries, and where the risk is concentrated.

  • Technical security

    Access and secrets management, vulnerable dependencies, configuration and service exposure.

  • Performance

    Response times, resource usage, caching and bottlenecks with their likely cause.

  • Delivery processes

    Version control, code review, continuous integration, environments and deployment.

  • Adobe Experience Manager

    Components, templates, Dispatcher, content and governance of the implementation.

How we work

  5. Handoff

    Presentation to the technical team and to the decision maker, with time for questions.

What you get

Evidence, risks and a plan.

  • Audit report with findings and evidence.

FAQ

What people usually ask us.

What access do you need?

Read access to the repository and, depending on scope, to infrastructure and environments. Access is named and revoked when we finish.

Does the audit end in a proposal to rebuild the system?

No. It ends in a plan. If the conclusion is that your team or your current vendor can fix it, we say so.

Do you sign an NDA?

Yes, before we see any code or information.
