The Connect Architecture Workshop is a two-part workshop that gives your team the architectural clarity and stakeholder alignment you need to launch your Connect build or migration on time and on budget. With just 2 to 4 hours of stakeholder time upfront, you eliminate the most common sources of costly rework: misaligned fund flows, wrong account configurations, and late-stage risk surprises. Your team leaves with a shared blueprint so engineering can move fast from day one.
