What we do

Five kinds of work, often in combination. Portfolio management and rationalization are our specialty and the natural place to start. Each one begins with how your business actually runs, not with a tool.

Application portfolio management

A living record of every application you run.

Most organizations cannot say with confidence how many applications they run, who owns each one, or where it sits in its lifecycle. We stand up an application portfolio management practice that answers those questions and stays current: a governed inventory, clear ownership, lifecycle and technical health status, and the routines that keep it accurate after we hand it over.

Typical work

  • An application inventory with named business and technical owners
  • Lifecycle, risk, and technical health tracking
  • APM tool selection and setup, plus the governance that keeps the data current

Works with LeanIX, ServiceNow APM, and Secant, the APM platform from our sister company, or the spreadsheet you have today.

Application portfolio rationalization

Decide what to keep, consolidate, or retire.

Starting from a trusted inventory, we map every application to the business capabilities it serves and document total cost of ownership. Overlap across departments and silos is where the savings hide. Each application gets a clear call: tolerate, invest, migrate, or retire. Vendor contracts and renewals are tied to the applications they pay for, so savings land in real budgets.

Typical work

  • Capability map and redundancy analysis
  • Total cost of ownership by application and capability
  • A disposition plan with a retirement roadmap

Our approach has been proven on portfolios of up to 3,100 applications.

Fractional enterprise architecture

Architecture leadership a few days a month.

Most mid-size companies need an architect’s judgment every week but can’t justify a full-time hire. We bring that judgment on a schedule: reviewing designs, setting standards, and keeping big technology decisions tied to where the business is going.

Typical work

  • An architecture review board and a single front door for requests
  • Target-state and transition roadmaps
  • Design reviews and standards your teams can follow

Integration and API architecture

Connect your systems once, and govern how they talk.

Integrations are where programs stall. We design API-led and event-driven integration platforms, put governance at the gateway, and map how data moves between your ERP, CRM, finance, HR, and line-of-business systems. We use what your platforms already do before building anything custom.

Typical work

  • Integration strategy and reference architecture
  • API governance: security, versioning, rate limits, and logging
  • ERP and finance integrations, migrations, and cutovers

AI forward-deployed engineering

Get an AI use case out of the demo and into production.

We embed with your team to take one AI use case from prototype to production: connected to your systems and data, grounded in your own documents, and built with the controls regulated industries need, like sensitive data redaction, human review, and audit trails.

Typical work

  • Choosing the right first use case and a realistic delivery plan
  • Integration with the systems the AI needs to read and act on
  • Guardrails, evaluation, and a clean handoff to your team

When to call

If any of these sound familiar, a short conversation will tell us both whether we can help.

  • Nobody can say how many applications you run, or who owns them.
  • Renewals arrive before anyone knows whether the app is still used.
  • Different teams keep buying tools that do the same job.
  • An ERP, CRM, or finance platform migration is coming.
  • You’re bringing acquired companies onto shared systems.
  • Integrations break, and nobody owns the map.
  • Leadership wants AI in production, with guardrails.
  • You need architecture governance, but not a full-time architect.

Ways to work together

Pick the shape that fits. Whichever you choose, senior architecture leadership is on every engagement, from first call to handoff.

Fractional

A set number of days each month, ongoing. Senior architecture leadership without a full-time salary.

Project

A fixed scope and timeline, like a portfolio rationalization or an integration platform design, with a defined deliverable at the end.

Contract

Full time for a defined term, embedded in your program as its enterprise, solutions, or integration architect.

Headquartered in Dallas-Fort Worth. Remote first, on site when it helps.

Who we are

Quangenix is an enterprise architecture firm built on a simple idea: every organization deserves senior architecture judgment, whether or not it can carry a full-time chief architect. We deliver that judgment as a service, sized to the work.

Our leadership has held senior enterprise architect roles at Toyota North America, Lockton, Frontier Airlines, and BNSF Railway, with earlier work at Southwest Airlines and Deloitte, and has run IT teams from the budget side. That experience spans healthcare, insurance, airlines, rail, and automotive.

We stay hands-on. We design it, document it, and help your team build it, then hand over a practice your people can own.

Leadership credentials
