What Ferrafox is

Hiring, retaining and directing specialists across products, identity, cloud and operations is a substantial undertaking. For many organizations it is not the undertaking they are actually in business to do, and doing it badly is more expensive than not doing it at all.

The alternative is usually a set of vendors, each responsible for a slice, none responsible for the whole. That works until the slices have to agree with each other.

Ferrafox takes the whole. We build the systems an organization depends on, integrate them with the platforms it already runs, operate the infrastructure underneath, and stay responsible for all of it as the business changes.

We are an international technology company by intent and by standard of work. What that means in practice is that the way we architect, document and operate systems does not change with the jurisdiction they are in.

Principles

How we work.

  1. 01

    One accountable party

    Where Ferrafox holds a system, it holds all of it: the build, the infrastructure it runs on, and the responsibility when something breaks. Split accountability is how estates drift.

  2. 02

    Decisions are written down

    Architecture is recorded with its reasoning, including what was rejected. A decision nobody can reconstruct in two years is a decision that gets made again, differently.

  3. 03

    Nothing is held hostage

    Source, infrastructure, domains and tenancy belong to the client and stay in their accounts. An engagement should continue because it is working, not because leaving is expensive.

  4. 04

    We say what we do not know

    An estimate given before the environment is understood is a guess presented as a commitment. We would rather scope the assessment first and be right afterwards.

  5. 05

    Continuity over volume

    We are structured for a small number of long relationships rather than a large number of short ones. It changes what we take on, and how far ahead we plan it.

The first conversation is about the environment as it stands today: what exists, what it costs to keep running, and where responsibility currently sits.
