With 24+ years of enterprise delivery and a bench of 500+ engineers, orangemantra ships solution architects who turn product, engineering, security, and operations into one defensible blueprint. Target architecture, ADRs, reference patterns, vendor selection, and the trade-off analysis your CIO actually defends in audit committees and board reviews.
Teams ship faster when architecture decisions land before the first sprint, not three sprints in. Hire solution architect who owns the blueprint, drives the build, and writes the ADRs the next architect can read. Pair with hire technical leads for the engineering execution layer underneath.
Core Solution Architecture Capabilities
Every solution architect engagement moves through these three layers. Hire solution architect who owns each one end-to-end, not advisors who hand over a slide deck and leave the build team to translate it.
Business outcome mapping, current-state inventory, gap analysis, target architecture, vendor and platform selection, and the costed roadmap your CIO presents to the steering committee on day one.
Reference architectures, C4 diagrams, ADRs, sequence flows, data models, integration patterns, security baselines, and the design system the engineering team builds against, not around.
Architecture review board cadence, design authority sign-off, ADR maintenance, technical risk registers, and the artefacts your auditors and external consultants both accept without rework.
Diagrams alone do not justify the role. These three artefacts do, and they outlive every engagement.
Lightweight written records of every meaningful trade-off. Six months later, the next engineer knows why a decision was made, not just what it was.
Patterns the team can copy without re-debating. Authentication, observability, data flow, and integration each get a worked example.
Named risks, owners, mitigations, and a debt backlog the engineering and product leads can actually read together.
Pre-vetted solution architects ready to start inside a fortnight. The bench covers cloud, integration, data, security, and modernisation without recruitment lag.
TOGAF 9.2 or 10, plus AWS Solutions Architect Professional, Azure Solutions Architect Expert, or Google Professional Cloud Architect. Certifications signal grounding, not seniority alone.
Every architecture decision lands as an ADR with context, options, decision, and consequences. The next architect, or auditor, can read the history without a meeting.
Solution architect engagements stay vendor-neutral. The trade-off table compares cost, scale, lock-in, and risk against your real constraints, not a partner's quota.
Solution architects sit on both sides: design authority with engineers, technical risk owner with steering committee. The blueprint flows in one direction, not parallel decks.
Need a different architect mid-engagement? Swap inside the first two weeks at zero cost. The bench is deep enough to flex between cloud, data, integration, and modernisation specialisms.
The right engagement depends on whether you need a one-off blueprint, a sprint-by-sprint design authority, or a long-term embedded architect. Orangemantra frames the trade-off before any contract is signed.
4 to 12 week engagement to deliver target architecture, ADRs, vendor selection, and a costed roadmap for one initiative. Output is a signed-off architecture pack the build team executes against.
Full-time solution architect embedded in your team for 6 to 18 months. Owns architecture for one product or domain, sits on the design authority, and pairs with hire technical leads on execution.
Two to three days per week solution architect for scale-ups and mid-market enterprises. Owns the architecture function without the cost of a permanent head of architecture role.
AWS, Azure, or GCP focused solution architect for a single migration wave, well-architected review, or landing zone design. Engagement runs 4 to 8 weeks against a sprint-zero plan.
Solution architect leads RFP response or vendor evaluation: requirements, trade-off matrix, scoring framework, reference checks, and the technical write-up your procurement team takes to board.
Short, sharp engagement to audit existing architecture for cost, scale, lock-in, and risk. Output is a remediation backlog with ADRs and a prioritised execution plan.
Hire solution architect who ships the artefacts procurement, audit, and engineering all reference: capability map, target architecture, ADRs, reference patterns, trade-off matrices, sequence flows, and the risk register your CISO defends each quarter.
Explore an architecture engagementAI's impact on businesses is undeniable and immeasurable. Gear up with the orangemantra solution architecture team.
The engagement path is built around enterprise governance, not freelancer marketplaces. NDA on day one, current-state inventory inside a week, target architecture in week three, signed-off pack and ADRs in week six on standard engagements.
Start the Engagement BriefA 30-minute scoping call to map the business outcome, stakeholders, constraints, and the shape of the architecture deliverables. Steering committee cadence and design authority access agreed up front.
Asset and capability inventory, integration map, data flows, cost baseline, and the heat map that surfaces real gaps the target architecture must address.
Reference architectures, C4 and ArchiMate views, ADRs for every meaningful decision, trade-off matrix for vendor and platform options, and the costed multi-sprint roadmap.
Architecture review board sign-off, steering committee read-out, ADR library handover, and the engineering pairing plan that lands the design into sprint zero of the build.
Architecture pressure varies by sector. The engagement scopes target architecture, reference patterns, and governance to where the regulatory load and integration depth are heaviest, so the blueprint survives auditor scrutiny.
BFSI clients use solution architects for core modernisation, open banking, real-time payments, and BIAN-aligned domain design with PCI DSS, RBI, MAS, and FCA controls.
Healthcare and pharma clients deploy solution architects for FHIR and HL7 interoperability, EHR integration, HIPAA and HITRUST control mapping, and GxP-aligned platform design.
Retail and eCommerce groups use solution architects for headless commerce, MACH-aligned design, OMS and WMS integration, and loyalty and CRM data architecture.
Manufacturing and automotive OEMs use solution architects for IoT, OT, MES, SCADA, digital twin, and connected vehicle architecture with ISA-95 and ISO 26262-aware design.
SaaS and tech ISVs deploy solution architects for multi-tenant data, billing, AI feature architecture, and platform engineering with SOC 2 and FedRAMP-aware controls.
Telecom and media operators use solution architects for OSS and BSS modernisation, TM Forum-aligned domains, 5G edge, and large-scale streaming platform architecture.
A working solution architect engagement is a stack and a method, not a deck. Hire solution architect fluent across cloud, integration, data, modernisation, and security tooling, with TOGAF and C4 as the working language.

ISO CertifiedA solution architect translates a business goal into a defensible technical design across applications, integration, data, cloud, and security. The role owns architecture decisions, trade-off analysis, reference architectures, ADRs, and the technical risk view that the CIO and audit committee both accept. A solution architect bridges product, engineering, security, and operations so the build runs against a single shared blueprint.
A technical lead drives a single team or a single product. A solution architect owns the design across multiple teams, systems, and integrations for one initiative. An enterprise architect owns the entire estate, standards, and roadmap horizon. orangemantra solution architects routinely partner with both ends: TLs on the ground and EAs in the steering committee.
Most orangemantra solution architects hold TOGAF 9.2 or 10 certification plus at least one cloud Professional certification: AWS Solutions Architect Professional, Azure Solutions Architect Expert, or Google Professional Cloud Architect. Stack depth covers Java, .NET, Node, Python, microservices, event-driven, data platforms (Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery), and integration (MuleSoft, Boomi, Apigee, Kong).
Solution architect rates depend on stack, certifications, and engagement type. Part-time and project-based engagements run by sprint or by milestone, full-time engagements bill monthly. Orangemantra shares a country-by-country rate card across India, Southeast Asia, and Europe, with a fitted estimate after a 30-minute scoping call.
Yes. Project-based and RFP-response engagements are common: a solution architect leads the discovery, target architecture, ADRs, vendor selection, and the technical write-up for an RFP or board review. Engagements run 4 to 12 weeks and end with a signed-off architecture pack and roadmap.
Most engagements move from first call to billable work inside five to ten business days. Profiles arrive within 48 hours of the brief, interviews run on your schedule, and onboarding happens inside your repos, identity provider, architecture wiki, and steering committee cadence. Replacement is at no extra cost inside the first two weeks.
Share the initiative, current-state shape, decision horizon, and the architecture artefacts you need. Orangemantra returns a shortlist of vetted solution architects within 48 hours, with TOGAF and cloud certifications, prior work samples, and rate cards attached.
Adjacent need? The same delivery floor supports hire technical leads and hire microservices architects.
