Systems Integration
We connect applications, services, and data pipelines into one cohesive, dependable ecosystem.
Where This Expertise Fits
StepStream fits best alongside founders, technical leaders, and teams who need senior
architectural guidance, but don't yet need—or can't justify—a full on-staff
architecture
function.
Who We Work With
- Small SaaS teams with growing products and legacy foundations
- Agencies delivering data-heavy or integration-heavy client work
- Businesses ready for real data pipelines and analytics
- Leads who need a fractional architect or TPM, not another vendor
What You Can Expect
- Honest assessment of what's working and what isn't
- Clear patterns and architectures your team can understand
- Predictable delivery rhythms and calm communication
- Mentorship that lifts your team, not just your platform
How This Expertise Shows Up in Practice
Expertise is only useful if it leads to better systems, calmer teams, and more
reliable
delivery. These are the principles that guide every engagement.
Fractional by Design
Senior-level architecture and delivery without the overhead of a full-time hire.
Ecosystem, Not One-Offs
Applications, data, and infrastructure are designed as one ecosystem, not isolated projects.
AI-Augmented Architecture
AI is used to accelerate analysis, validation, and documentation—always under human guidance.
Modernization Without Mayhem
Clear roadmaps and staged rollouts so modernization doesn't feel like a constant fire drill.
Human-Centered UI/UX
Interfaces that reflect how your teams and customers actually think and work.
Reliable DataOps & Delivery
Data pipelines, CI/CD, and releases built for steady, predictable deployments. Not surprises.
Engagement Models
This expertise becomes real through a set of focused engagement models designed
to meet you where you are. Whether you need a blueprint, a leader, or a build.
Modernization Blueprint
A 4–6 week architecture and data ecosystem assessment that produces a clear modernization plan.
