Architecture Sparring: How does your team stay on course while modernizing?

Your team knows the domain better than any outsider. What it lacks is the experienced view from outside: on architecture decisions, on the module cut, on the spots where you can lose your way. That is exactly what the sparring delivers. Monthly, with no long commitment, in three tiers.

Request sparring · from 999.00 €/month How the sparring works

Who is the sparring for?

For teams that want to modernize themselves, just not alone.

You have developers who know the application inside out, and you want to keep the know-how in-house. What is missing is experience with the new stack and with modernizations of this size. The sparring is for you if you recognize at least one of these sentences:

“Our developers know every line, but Blazor is new territory for them.”
“We want to modernize ourselves, but not have to make every mistake ourselves.”
“I want an experienced view on our architecture decisions before they get expensive.”
“Outsiders should make our team stronger, not replace it.”

What you get

Experience that makes your team faster.

Regular sparring sessions

Depending on the tier monthly, every two weeks or weekly: your team brings the current questions, our architect brings the experience from real modernizations. Decisions are made together.

Reference code & Quality Blocks

Access to reference code and guides, from the Plus tier to our Quality Blocks: reference solutions from real projects your team can orient itself by, instead of inventing everything itself.

Code reviews

In the Premium tier we look into your code regularly: architecture fidelity, quality, pitfalls. This way deviations surface early, not only at release.

Asynchronous question channel

Premium customers ask questions whenever they come up, via Teams or email, and receive an answer within one business day. Blocking questions never wait until the next session this way.

How the sparring works

Four steps to a fixed rhythm.

1 · First conversation

Free and non-binding: we clarify whether the sparring fits your team and your project. If not, we tell you openly.

2 · Choose the tier

Basic, Plus or Premium: you choose the rhythm that fits the pace of your modernization. The tier can be adjusted to demand later.

3 · Fixed rhythm

The sessions get a fixed slot in your team’s calendar. Your team prepares the questions, we prepare the answers and the view beyond the horizon.

4 · Renewed month by month

The sparring runs monthly, with no long commitment. It has to hold through value, not through contract term.

Price in three tiers

As much accompaniment as your team needs.

Where does the sparring stand on the journey?

The sparring is one of the two ongoing paths at the end of the Legacy to Innovation journey: your team modernizes, we accompany. The other path is the .NET maintenance contract, where we keep your application running. The stages before are credited against each other: the Future-Check fully toward the report, the report with 1,499.00 € toward the workshop, the workshop with 25 % (1,875.00 €) toward stage 1.

Honestly said

Sparring is the right path when your team has time for it.

The sparring works when your developers actually have capacity for the modernization. If your team already drowns in maintenance and support today, accompaniment alone does not make you faster. Then delivery in stages is the more honest path, and your team still learns along there through the know-how transfer.

That the path works is shown by our customer Odysys, the industry solution for heavy-load rental: the collaboration began with architecture sparring, from which came a PoC, a rebuild stage by stage and a partnership over years. Our founder now sits on their supervisory board.

Frequently asked questions

Answered clearly.

Who does our team spar with?

With André Krämer or one of our senior architects. The sessions thrive on having someone on our side who has taken responsibility for such modernizations and knows your questions from practice: architecture cut, Blazor, strangler fig, dealing with grown code.

Do you also write code for us in the sparring?

No, that is the deliberate boundary. In the sparring your team modernizes, we accompany: with sessions, reference code, Quality Blocks and, in the Premium tier, with code reviews and the asynchronous question channel. If we are to take over the implementation, delivery in stages is the fitting model.

What are Quality Blocks?

Our reference solutions from real modernization projects: proven building blocks and reference implementations for recurring tasks your team can orient itself by, instead of inventing every solution itself. Access to them is included from the Plus tier.

How long do we have to commit?

Not long at all: the sparring runs monthly, with no long commitment. You can adjust the tier to your team’s demand, more in intensive phases, less in quiet ones. The sparring should earn itself anew every month, not hold through a contract.

What does Architecture Sparring cost?

Basic 999.00 €, Plus 1,999.00 € or Premium 2,999.00 € per month, each net plus VAT. The tiers differ in the rhythm of the sessions (monthly, every two weeks, weekly) and in scope: Quality Blocks and preferred dates from Plus, code reviews and the asynchronous question channel in Premium.

Still unsure?

Clarify the fit in the free first conversation.

30 minutes, free, non-binding: we listen to where your team stands and tell you openly whether the sparring fits your project or another path would be better.
