All too often we do not really know until it’s too late and something goes wrong. And there are always consequences.

Through history we have seen buildings and bridges (even Empires) collapse because of weak foundations or architectural flaws with an inevitable conclusion.

The Genoa Bridge disaster in 2018 is a terrible example of just how devastating inadequate foundations can be and illustrates the importance of safeguards, backups and vigilance.

Working with new clients it is surprising how often we encounter systems with inadequate foundations and architectural flaws. Businesses happily navigate the systems assuming that safeguards are in place to protect critical applications and functionality, unaware of the underlying weaknesses.
