Anonymised examples of senior architecture work
These examples summarise the type of work delivered by Insight Solution Architecture. Client names are not used here unless publishing permission is explicit.
Shared HRIS and Payroll Architecture for Related Enterprise Entities
Situation: Two related organisations required a shared HR operating model, a shared HRIS tenant and a new payroll platform while preserving privacy, access and operational boundaries between employing entities.
Architecture contribution: Led architecture across HR operating model, Workday HRIS, iChris payroll, Verint Workforce Management, identity and access patterns, privacy boundaries and integration design across multiple cloud and on-premise platforms.
Outcome: Established a governed architecture direction for shared HR and payroll capability, secure employee-data movement, identity integration and downstream operational support.
HR-Driven Identity and Access Integration
Situation: Employee lifecycle data needed to flow securely between HR, identity governance, cloud directory and downstream enterprise services.
Architecture contribution: Designed integration and control patterns across HRIS, identity governance, directory services and connected platforms, with a focus on authoritative-source clarity, secure data movement and supportable joiner, mover and leaver processes.
Outcome: Improved the control model for employee identity data, provisioning dependencies, access lifecycle handling and operational support alignment.
Workforce Management, Time and Leave Integration
Situation: A workforce-management platform needed to integrate with HRIS and payroll processes across employee demographics, leave, time worked and payroll-related data.
Architecture contribution: Supported workforce-management integration patterns involving HRIS, payroll, time, leave, employee data, exception handling and operational handover.
Outcome: Provided architecture direction for a more controlled workforce, HR and payroll integration landscape.
Architecture Governance Reset During Operating Model Change
Situation: A large organisation was transitioning from centralised enterprise architecture to a federated model and required practical governance processes to support technology repositioning.
Architecture contribution: Re-established architecture governance and introduced capability-based architecture and governance processes to support consistent technology decision-making.
Outcome: Improved decision discipline, architectural consistency and alignment between delivery activity and organisational capability.
Enterprise Integration, API, B2B and Batch Platform Architecture
Situation: An enterprise required stronger integration architecture, design leadership, API governance and resilience across cloud and on-premise systems.
Architecture contribution: Provided architecture leadership across API, integration, B2B and batch platforms, supporting developers, designers, architects and executive stakeholders.
Outcome: Increased enterprise integration architecture capacity and improved robustness of delivered solutions.
Platform Architecture and Program Recovery
Situation: A complex enterprise platform upgrade required urgent turnaround, stronger governance and restructuring across multiple delivery streams.
Architecture contribution: Led architecture activity across delivery streams, created enterprise reference architecture and provided consultative support during implementation.
Outcome: Improved architectural control and provided a clearer foundation for program delivery.
