Services

Four practices. One delivery standard.

Pentara is structured around the four problems we've been hired to solve for the last decade. Pick one — or commission an advisory to figure out which.

01 — Software consulting

Software people actually want to use.

We design and build the systems your operation depends on — from greenfield products to legacy programmes that need to be brought into the present.

Engagement: Fixed-scope discoveries from 4 weeks; build engagements from 3 months.

What you get
  • Product & platform architecture
  • Senior full-stack delivery teams
  • Cloud, DX & developer tooling
  • Replatforming and modernisation

02 — AI integration & model building

AI that survives contact with production.

We integrate LLMs into the surfaces your customers see, and we build custom models when the off-the-shelf one isn't honest enough.

Engagement: PoC sprints from 3 weeks; production engagements from 8 weeks.

What you get
  • LLM-powered product features
  • Custom model training & fine-tuning
  • Retrieval, evaluation & MLOps
  • Data pipelines and governance

03 — Project management

The grown-up in the room.

Embedded delivery leaders who run multi-team, multi-vendor programmes with the discipline they need — and without the theatre.

Engagement: Monthly retainers; emergency turnarounds within two weeks.

What you get
  • Fractional delivery & engineering leads
  • Programme recovery and turnaround
  • Vendor orchestration
  • Reporting frameworks for boards

04 — Project advisory

Sharp answers to expensive questions.

Independent diagnostics and board-grade recommendations for when the stakes are high and the right answer isn't obvious.

Engagement: Fixed-scope advisories from 2 to 8 weeks.

What you get
  • Technical due diligence
  • Build-vs-buy analyses
  • AI strategy and roadmaps
  • Architecture review

How we engage

Three commercial models. Choose what suits the work.

Fixed scope

Defined outcome, defined budget. Best for discoveries, audits, and contained builds.

Retainer

A senior team or advisor reserved for you each month. Best for ongoing programmes.

Embedded team

We integrate into your operating model, reporting to your leadership.
