Catalogue

Six disciplines, practised seriously.

A short catalogue of what NOTSOBAD LTD does — written plainly, with the things we do not do left off the page.

01

IT Consulting

Independent strategy, architecture review and due diligence.

We are most useful when a decision is genuinely difficult — replatforming, vendor consolidation, post-acquisition integration, or untangling years of accumulated technical debt. We produce written recommendations a board can read.

  • Architecture audits & roadmaps
  • Cloud cost and performance review
  • Technical due diligence (M&A)
  • CTO advisory engagements
  • Vendor & platform selection
  • Engineering org diagnostics

02

Software Development

Custom software, built like furniture.

Web applications, internal platforms and back-office systems engineered to outlast their authors. We write code that the next team can read on their first day and extend without phoning us.

  • Web & SaaS platforms
  • Internal tools & admin systems
  • API design & integrations
  • Legacy modernisation
  • Mobile applications
  • Embedded & device software

03

Cloud Solutions

Infrastructure that behaves itself.

Cloud-native architecture, migration and platform engineering across AWS, GCP and Azure. We build platforms that are observable on day one and affordable in year three.

  • Cloud migration & landing zones
  • Kubernetes platform engineering
  • Infrastructure as code
  • Cost & reliability engineering
  • Multi-region & disaster recovery
  • FinOps & governance

04

AI Solutions

Intelligent systems, sensibly applied.

Applied machine learning, retrieval-augmented generation, and decision-support systems. We treat AI as a discipline, not a marketing posture — and we are honest about when it is the wrong tool.

  • LLM integration & RAG systems
  • Predictive modelling
  • Document & data extraction
  • MLOps & ML platform engineering
  • Computer vision pipelines
  • Evaluation & safety review

05

Cybersecurity

A defensible posture, written down.

Threat modelling, application security review, identity architecture and incident readiness. We help teams move from anxious compliance to a posture they can explain to their board in two minutes.

  • Application security review
  • Threat modelling workshops
  • Identity & access architecture
  • Secure SDLC programmes
  • Incident response readiness
  • Compliance alignment (ISO/SOC 2)

06

Digital Transformation

Change the operating team can sustain.

Process redesign, platform consolidation and operating-model change — delivered alongside the people who will live with the result long after we have left the room.

  • Operating model design
  • Platform & vendor consolidation
  • Workflow automation
  • Capability transfer & training
  • Change management partnership
  • Programme & portfolio review

Engagement Models

Three ways the practice typically works.

Fixed-scope delivery

A defined deliverable, written milestones and a known endpoint. Suited to discrete platforms and replatforming work.

Long-term retainer

Continuous engineering capacity dedicated to a system or platform, with named on-call ownership.

Embedded advisory

Senior practitioners working alongside an in-house team, transferring capability as the engagement progresses.
