We focus on Software Architecture consultancy through the delivery of workshops and longer-term engagements where we can offer experienced views on the 'art of the possible' and how such solutions can be effectively de-risked and delivered on-time and on-budget.

Like you, the quality of the people we employ is critical to the success of our business. Having 3rd party endorsements of the consultants you employ removes some of the risk with your hiring decisions. Industry driven certifications can provide some value when they focus on the testing of real experience and for this reason we are pleased to highlight that iPrinciples founder, Richard Godfrey, was the first Microsoft Certified Architect in the UK and one of the first worldwide.

"The Microsoft Certified Architect (MCA) program identifies top industry experts in IT architecture. These prestigious professionals have a minimum of ten years of advanced IT industry experience, have three or more years of experience as a practicing architect, possess strong technical and managerial skills, and form an elite community. Unlike other industry certifications, this credential was built and is granted by the architect community. Candidates must pass a rigorous review by the Review Board, which consists of previously certified peer architects. The process tests across seven core disciplines which are essential for a well-rounded architectural lead for your project" Leadership Communication Organisational dynamics Strategy Process and tactics Technology breadth Technology depth Further details of the Microsoft Certified Architect programme can be found here.
