Modern infrastructure, networking and architecture support

How we can work together

Sogode helps you modernise data centres, networks and cloud connectivity with designs and roadmaps that reflect how your organisation actually works – not how vendors wish it did. You can engage on an ongoing fractional basis, or via focused one-off services.

Fractional services – Advise, Lead, Run

For teams that need senior architectural support over time, I work on a fractional basis. You keep day-to-day ownership while I help you shape direction, designs and decisions.

Engagement flow

  • Consultation – understand your context, goals and constraints.
  • Proposal – define scope, outcomes and initial focus areas.
  • Kickoff – align stakeholders, confirm priorities and working modes.
  • Planning – roadmap, patterns and decision points.
  • Execution – support design, reviews and implementation work.
  • Check-ins & adjustments – keep direction aligned as things evolve.
  • Review & feedback – capture lessons learned and next steps.

Fractional options & hours per week

  • Advise (S): approx. 2–3 hours/week – strategic guidance, design reviews, sounding board for key decisions.
  • Lead (M): approx. 5–7 hours/week – hands-on architecture leadership across initiatives, patterns and governance.
  • Run (L): approx. 10–15 hours/week – deeper involvement in execution, coordination and ongoing oversight.

The exact hours and focus are agreed together and can be adjusted over time.

What fractional engagements typically cover

  • Technology strategy advisory
  • Architecture and technology guidance
  • Risk assessment and mitigation advice
  • Technology strategy execution
  • Architecture execution oversight
  • Technology roadmap, milestones and timelines
  • Driving innovation and pragmatic improvement
  • Vendor management support
  • Team leadership and talent development input

One-off services

If you prefer a focused engagement instead of ongoing involvement, these fixed-fee options are designed to give you clarity quickly.
