About EGI

Founded in 2003. Built on systems that don't fall over.

EGI is a boutique consultancy led by working architects with three decades inside enterprise systems between them, and they still write the code they recommend.

How we work

Values you can hold us to.

Not aspirations, operating rules. Every engagement is run this way, and you can check.

01

Findings in writing

Every assessment ends in a document you own, usable with us or without us.

02

Senior-only staffing

No junior engineers on client work. The person who scopes it, builds it.

03

Milestones you can test

Progress is measured in working software, not status decks.

04

Handover, not lock-in

We document, train, and leave your team able to run what we built.
