About ArchNGN

We are solution architects, engineers, and technology leaders who understand firsthand how the current way we deliver technology solution design bottlenecks development. As AI increasingly accelerates an organisation's ability to generate and deliver business solutions, traditional architecture can no longer keep up.

The bottleneck starts with the blank canvas. Every architecture tool hands you an empty repository and expects you to fill it: workshops, spreadsheet exports, a data steward, months of effort. By the time the model is populated it no longer matches what is running.

ArchNGN starts from the other end. It connects read-only to the cloud accounts and repositories you already run, reads what is actually deployed, and builds the model itself, including the dependencies across your landscape and the standards that apply to each part of it.

That model is what makes the rest possible. Solution designs, documentation, dependency maps, control mappings and design reviews all generate from it, in minutes. This is work that a solution architect, designer, engineer or compliance specialist authors by hand today, and that starts going stale the week it is finished. The API and MCP server carry the same model forward into delivery: pipelines query the estate and gate a build on it, and AI coding agents work from your organisation's decisions rather than generic public patterns.

Spend less time documenting and reconciling, and more time on the decisions that matter. That is how architecture becomes an enabler of AI-accelerated delivery rather than a bottleneck in front of it.

FAQs

General

What is ArchNGN?

ArchNGN discovers your architecture instead of asking you to draw it, then generates the work that normally follows. You connect your cloud accounts and repositories read-only, and it builds a structured model of what is actually deployed, its dependencies and the standards that apply. Solution designs, diagrams, registers, interface flows, control mappings and design reviews all generate from that model, replacing documents your specialists would otherwise author by hand.

Who is ArchNGN built for?

Consultancies and delivery partners who run current-state discovery on every engagement. Architecture and platform teams facing a migration, an integration, or a board paper that needs a defensible picture of the estate. Technical due diligence teams working inside a short window. Anyone whose first problem is finding out what is actually running.

How does ArchNGN differ from traditional architecture tools?

Traditional tools ship you an empty repository and a data-entry project. You fund workshops and imports to populate it, and it drifts out of date faster than you can maintain it. ArchNGN builds the model itself, by reading your cloud accounts and repositories directly, and re-reads them on a schedule. There is no population project, because there is nothing to populate.

Is ArchNGN available now?

We are currently partnering with a select group of early adopters ahead of our public launch. If you'd like to learn more or join the early access programme, please get in touch.

Platform & Integration

What systems does ArchNGN integrate with?

ArchNGN connects with the tools your teams already use: GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket and Azure DevOps repositories, cloud storage (Amazon S3, Azure Blob Storage, Google Cloud Storage), SharePoint documents, and your cloud platforms themselves (AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud) for read-only discovery of what is actually deployed. Confluence, Jira, ServiceNow, dbt, Terraform, Collibra and Alation connectors are on the roadmap.

How does ArchNGN use AI?

ArchNGN uses AI to analyse and classify your architecture artefacts, generate design recommendations grounded in your enterprise context, and continuously validate designs against your standards and policies, all in real time.

Is my data secure?

Absolutely. ArchNGN is designed with enterprise-grade security from the ground up. Your data is encrypted at rest and in transit, and we do not use your data to train AI models. We can discuss specific security and compliance requirements during onboarding.

Getting Started

How long does it take to get started?

Most teams are up and running within days. ArchNGN integrates with your existing tools and ingests your architecture content automatically, so there's minimal setup overhead.

Do I need to replace my existing tools?

No. ArchNGN is designed to complement your existing toolchain, not replace it. It pulls from your current sources of truth and layers intelligence on top, so your teams can keep working the way they already do.

How can I request early access?
