Align Technology with Strategy Through Enterprise Architecture
We help large organizations bring order to technology chaos — aligning systems, data, and teams around a coherent architecture that supports your business strategy for the next decade.
Trusted by innovative teams worldwide
Enterprise-Grade Certifications for Enterprise-Scale Problems
Our architects hold the certifications that enterprise governance boards require.
Enterprise Architecture That Actually Drives Change
EA shouldn't be a shelf of documents nobody reads. We build living architecture practices that guide real decisions and deliver real cost savings.
Business Architecture Mapping
We model your business capabilities, value streams, and organizational structures — creating the bridge between business strategy and technology execution that most enterprises are missing.
Application Portfolio Rationalization
Comprehensive assessment of your application landscape — identifying redundancies, shadow IT, and consolidation opportunities that typically save 25–40% on licensing and maintenance costs.
Data Architecture & Governance
Enterprise data models, master data management strategies, and governance frameworks that turn scattered data silos into a coherent information asset you can actually trust and use.
Cloud & Infrastructure Architecture
Multi-cloud strategy, hybrid architecture design, and infrastructure rationalization — modernizing your compute and storage while maintaining the control enterprise environments demand.
Integration Architecture
Enterprise integration patterns, API management strategy, and middleware rationalization — reducing the spaghetti of point-to-point integrations that make every change expensive and risky.
EA Governance & Practice Setup
Architecture review boards, standards catalogs, technology radar, and decision frameworks — establishing a self-sustaining EA practice that outlasts any individual consultant.
Drowning in Technology Complexity?
Let's map your enterprise landscape and find the path to simplification.
Enterprise architecture that pays for itself within 12 months.
Our EA engagements consistently deliver 30–45% IT cost optimization through portfolio rationalization, standardization, and cloud modernization.
Enterprise Architecture Built for Execution, Not Documentation
The biggest failure mode in EA is producing beautiful architecture documents that nobody follows. We build architecture practices that guide daily decisions — from project approvals to vendor selection.

Execution Support
Ongoing architecture advisory, project reviews, and quarterly roadmap updates — ensuring the architecture guides real decisions.
What Our Clients Say
“OpenMalo's enterprise architects mapped our entire application portfolio — 340 applications — and identified $12M in annual savings from decommissioning and consolidation alone. Their rationalization methodology was the most rigorous we'd seen.
“We'd tried EA twice before with big consultancies. Both times we got 200-page documents that gathered dust. OpenMalo's approach was different — they set up a living architecture practice with lightweight governance that our teams actually follow.
“The integration architecture redesign alone justified the entire engagement. We went from 847 point-to-point integrations to a managed API platform, cutting our change delivery time by 60%. Our project teams can actually ship now.
$12M Annual Savings from Application Portfolio Rationalization
Enterprise Architecture Transformation for Commonwealth Credit Union
How a structured EA practice helped a 5,000-employee credit union rationalize 340 applications, eliminate redundancy, and save $12M annually in licensing and maintenance costs.
Technology sprawl threatening a growing financial institution
Commonwealth Credit Union had grown through acquisitions, inheriting overlapping technology platforms. With 340 applications, rising licensing costs, and no enterprise architecture practice, every project was slower and more expensive than it needed to be.
Our Approach: 8-week current-state assessment and portfolio cataloging, TOGAF-based target architecture across all four domains, application rationalization roadmap identifying 155 decommissioning candidates, API management platform implementation, and architecture review board establishment with quarterly health checks.

We primarily use TOGAF's Architecture Development Method (ADM) as our foundation, complemented by Zachman for taxonomy and SABSA for security architecture. However, we adapt the framework to your organization's maturity — we don't force-fit a methodology that's too heavy for your culture.
