Adaptive Vertical Architecture

A way to build enterprise software between closed SaaS and unlimited development. This is the method we use to deliver Own Vertical Software.

It is vertical because it understands the type of operation it solves. Adaptive because every company has unique processes, data, rules and integrations. And architecture because it is designed to change and evolve without accumulating debt.

Three pillars

Vertical by problem. Agnostic by client. Designed for change.

Vertical by problem

We do not verticalize by generic sector. We verticalize by specific problem: procurement management, legal procedures, logistics with customs, certification cycle. The vertical body knows what entities, what calculations, what integrations and what regulation belong to that problem.

Agnostic by client

Every company within the same sector operates differently: different clients, different volumes, different exceptions. The architecture allows each configuration to be different without forking the code base. One core, N configurations that do not clash.

Designed for change

It is not static. It is designed so that states, roles, rules and integrations change without touching the foundations. The common evolves slowly. The differential evolves fast. The exceptional is isolated so it does not break anything when modified.
FAQ

Frequently asked questions

  • What is Adaptive Vertical Architecture (AVA)?

    AVA is the method for adapting a vertical body (knowledge and architecture already solved for a sector) to a company's actual operation. It separates the common (productized), the differential (configured) and the exceptional (developed).

  • How is AVA applied to a project?

    In five phases with verifiable outputs: diagnosis, design and closed budget, configuration and integrations, migration with real data, and operation with support. Each phase has its own deliverable and closed budget.

  • How is AVA different from a classic custom method?

    Classic custom method starts each project from an empty repository and reinvents foundations. AVA starts from an already-built vertical body of the sector and only works on the three adaptation layers (common, differential, exceptional) on top of that base.

  • Can AVA be applied to any sector?

    If the sector has an already-operating vertical body, adaptation is faster and lower risk. If the sector is new, AVA also serves to design and build the vertical body from proven patterns, with a total time still below from-scratch development.

  • Is AVA a product or a method?

    AVA is the method. The product delivered with AVA is called Own Vertical Software (SVP). In other words: FDE is how I work, AVA is the specific delivery method, SVP is what the client receives.

AVA in product

SVP is AVA in practice. The product category we deliver with this method.

Own Vertical Software (SVP) is what you get when we apply AVA to your operation. The four regular services (custom software, applied AI, data architecture, process management) integrate into a single delivery.
