Business and technology
We speak the language of the boardroom and the language of the terminal. That lets us connect objectives, budgets and architecture without anything getting lost in translation.

What we do
Forward with AI where it adds value. And on proven technology where that fits better.
AVI·TECH Consultancy works AI-first: with every question we first assess where AI adds value, which data it needs and how it can run safely; only then the tooling. If AI does not (yet) fit the organisation, we build according to our proven approach: the same architecture, the same team, without the AI component. Forward, at the pace that suits you.
We combine business management and IT with deep technical expertise, so that strategy actually lands in the architecture. And the other way round.
AI-first, from day one
With us, AI is not a side project but a fixed part of the architecture: data, security, model choice, governance and operations in a single design. And where AI does not fit, we deliver the classic solution; just as solid.
Hands-on until it runs
Consultancy and engineering from the same team: we design and we build alongside you. From target architecture to configuration, from steering suppliers to the first working environment.
Services
Consultancy and engineering: from strategy to infrastructure, from a single partner.
AI-first architecture and strategy
From AI ambition to working architecture: an AI brain as the organisation's knowledge core, AI agents that work safely within it, model choice (local or cloud), governance and operations. Including our own framework for the safe use of AI in enterprise environments.
Interim CTO and technical leadership
For startups, scale-ups and organisations in transition: technical direction, team building, architecture choices that scale and attract funding, and the translation to boards and investors.
Enterprise and solution architecture
Overarching programmes where business, applications, platform and infrastructure meet. We make the coherence explicit and governable.
Network architecture and data centre
From campus to data centre: fabrics, routing, segmentation, hybrid cloud and NAC. Design and engineering at CCIE and CCDE level, hands-on until it runs.
Cybersecurity, Zero Trust and compliance
Zero Trust architecture and demonstrable control: the NIST Cybersecurity Framework, NIS2 and the Dutch Cybersecurity Act translated into measures that fit the organisation.
AI brain and AI agents
One knowledge core for the organisation and agents that carry out tasks within it; every agent with its own identity, least privilege and full logging, Zero Trust style.
Cloud and SaaS integration
Secure connections between SaaS, cloud and on-premises: API management, identity, integration patterns and operating agreements.
Tenders, lifecycle and automation
Requirements specifications, mini-competitions and lifecycle roadmaps; infrastructure as code so that operations become repeatable.
Recent projects
The kind of work that crossed our desk recently.
From multi-year architecture to AI on your own hardware, and from tenders to steering a scale-up's technology. No names, just the essence. Filter on what matters to you.
- AI
On-premises AI
Knowledge agents and local models on your own hardware. Files stay inside; answers still come.
- AI
AI frameworking
Our own framework for the safe use of AI in the enterprise. How it works? That we tell you at the table.
- AI
AI-first strategy
From ambition to roadmap: where AI can run safely, what it delivers and what needs to be in place first.
- AI
AI brain
One knowledge core for the organisation: documents, data and models together, with role-based access.
- AI
AI agents under Zero Trust
Agents that do the work with their own identity, least privilege and full logging; no agent without a passport.
- Architecture
Target architecture
The multi-year picture for data centre, network and platform; the map everyone navigates by.
- Architecture
Reference designs
Reusable designs for SaaS integrations, identity and interfaces. Done right once, standard ever after.
- Architecture
Multi-year architecture
Roadmaps that put ambitions, budgets and lifecycle on one timeline, so the board can steer.
- Architecture
Programme architecture
Overarching programmes in which suppliers, teams and domains have to come together. Someone who sees the whole.
- Infrastructure
Standardisation as code
Firewalls, networks and platforms as code: repeatable, testable and boring in the best sense of the word.

Curious about the stories behind these projects? We would love to tell you in person.
Approach
Five steps, no surprises.
Every engagement starts small and informal, and only grows as far as the question requires. Whoever makes the design also sits at the table during delivery.
- I
Coffee
Getting acquainted over coffee, tea or something else; sharpening the question. No strings attached.
- II
Understand
Mapping business, technology and people; what is really going on?
- III
Design
Architecture, choices and roadmap; substantiated and governable.
- IV
Deliver
Building alongside teams and suppliers until it works.
- V
Anchor
Governance, operations and handover, so it keeps working.
AI framework
Using AI safely within the enterprise. We have a framework for that.
We developed our own framework for organisations that want to use AI without sensitive data leaving the building. It aligns with existing security and architecture frameworks and is independent of vendors and models.
What is in it and how it works, we prefer to tell you in person. Over a coffee or a drink, for instance.
About us
Business and technology, in one firm.
AVI·TECH Consultancy is an architecture and technology firm with Rotterdam roots, based in The Hague and working worldwide. We work where technology truly matters: in the public sector and in enterprise environments with more than 100,000 users. There we design and build the infrastructure, the integrations and the AI layers that boards, security and operations can rely on; and we stay until it runs.
We combine business management and IT with deep technical expertise: enterprise and network architects at the highest Cisco level (CCIE, CCDE), security architects (CISM) who make Zero Trust, NIST and NIS2 practical, and IT leaders with experience as CTO and lead architect at startups, scale-ups and government. AI-first where possible, proven practice where it must be.
We are compact and fast, with no layers in between. Whoever makes the design also sits at the table during delivery; and whoever delivers has understood the design.
- Enterprise & network architectureArchitects and engineers who design down to packet level; certified at the highest Cisco level (CCIE, CCDE)
- CybersecuritySecurity architects who turn Zero Trust, NIST and NIS2 into workable measures; CISM-certified
- IT leadershipRoles such as CTO, lead architect and programme architect at startups, scale-ups and government; setting direction, scaling, training

Coffee sometime?
Coffee, tea or a drink after work; at our place, yours or online. We would love to hear what is going on and tell you what we would do; no obligations, no slides.
