Enterprise Delivery Consultancy

Technical delivery for banks, telecoms and regulated enterprises.

Programs that ship, platforms that stay secure, teams that get faster. Technical delivery leadership, Agile delivery, cloud security, infrastructure and data, and applied AI under enterprise controls.

What we do

Six practices, each with the technical depth to challenge a design and the delivery discipline to land it.

Technical delivery and program leadership

Complex technology programs led end to end: planning, dependencies, risk, release management and executive reporting, with the technical depth to unblock teams.

  • Program and project delivery
  • Release and change management
  • Executive reporting, RAID and steering

Agile delivery and coaching

Scrum, Kanban and scaled frameworks applied with judgement, and the harder part: moving teams and stakeholders from quarterly releases to daily ones.

  • Scrum and Kanban coaching
  • Waterfall-to-Agile transitions
  • Jira practice and flow metrics

Cloud security remediation

Multi-cloud security programs that fix what the scanners find, set identity and access standards, and keep them fixed.

  • AWS, Azure and Google Cloud
  • Identity, access and RBAC standards
  • Policy as code and compliance

Infrastructure as code and SRE

Infrastructure that is versioned, reviewed and reproducible, and an operating model that keeps services reliable.

  • Terraform platforms and module standards
  • Site reliability engineering function design
  • Observability and alerting

Data platforms and databases

Databases designed, tuned and migrated, external data brought in reliably, and the reporting that sits on top, from a practice that started in database administration.

  • Database design and performance
  • Data migration and integration
  • Bloomberg and third-party API integration
  • BI and reporting pipelines

Applied AI under enterprise controls

AI coding agents and evaluation pipelines inside the controls a regulated organization expects: labelled changes, evidence, review by risk and recorded approvals.

  • Agentic engineering under written standards
  • AI evaluation pipelines
  • AI use policy and governance

How to engage us

Each engagement starts with a short, fixed-price discovery and a written plan. We take a limited number of engagements at a time.

Full-time or fractional

Interim technical delivery lead

A delivery lead who can read the architecture, run the ceremonies, own the release and report to the steering group, from the first week.

Fixed-price assessment, then a plan

Program or project recovery

An honest assessment of where a program stands, what is blocking it, and a plan that the teams and the sponsors can both sign.

Weeks to months

Agile delivery coaching

Teams and stakeholders coached from quarterly or weekly releases to daily ones, with the Jira practice and flow metrics that show it working.

Program, scoped by findings

Cloud security remediation program

From scanner findings to closed items across many applications, with identity and access standards that stop the findings coming back.

How we work: four stages, one loop

One accountable team from the first question to the last release. Every engagement moves through four stages, and AI is harnessed in each one, in the open and under written rules.

Opportunity evaluation

Decide what is worth building, fast. Market and option analysis, build-versus-buy, cost and risk modelling, and working prototypes rather than slide decks.

AI in this stage. Agents research, draft and prototype in days. We check their work, run the cheap experiment before offering an opinion, and record why each decision was made.

Technical execution

Build it properly, with AI writing more of the code. Architecture, build, integration and modernization by senior engineers working with AI coding agents under a written development process.

AI in this stage. Every AI-authored change is labelled, tested and evidenced before it is merged. A new test must fail before it is trusted. A named engineer designs, reviews and approves where risk dictates.

Continuous delivery

Ship in small, reversible, measured steps. One build promoted through development, lab and production with automated gates at each step. Progressive rollouts, recorded approvals for production, rollback by redeploying from source.

AI in this stage. Agents build, deploy and verify in test environments. A person approves every release.

Platform management

Run it as if it were our own. Cloud, on-premise and hybrid platforms with observability, alerting and security built in, and the DevOps teams and culture that keep it that way.

AI in this stage. Agents help investigate problems and write up what they found. Every change still goes through source control and review. What runs is measured, and the measurements feed the next evaluation.

Proven on our own software

Arransystems builds and releases its own software exactly this way. It is the proving ground for every practice on this page.

  1. 2004Founded as a research and software practice
  2. 2008First in-house research framework
  3. 2014Distributed computing across commodity hardware
  4. 2017Rebuilt as services, with distributed computing in the cloud
  5. 2026Rebuilt with AI coding agents under written engineering standards

How it is built

  • Every service built and deployed from one source of truth.
  • Automated tests and gated evaluation before any result is relied on.
  • Metrics, logs and automated health checks on every service.

How it is governed

  • Security designed in from the start, with secrets kept out of code.
  • AI coding agents under written standards, every change evidenced and reviewed.
  • A person approves anything risky before it happens.

Who leads the practice

A founder-led consultancy. You work with the founder directly.

Enterprise grounding, startup build

The practice is led by Arransystems' founder, Edward Cook, who has delivered technology for banks, telecoms and retailers in the UK, Asia and North America since 1997, as a technical delivery manager, project manager and engineer, and who has built the firm's own software since 2004.

Working inside large regulated organizations and building a product company from nothing are different disciplines. Having done both is what lets us bring the right amount of enterprise rigour to each client, and no more. LinkedIn profile
