How Aetrum engages

Aetrum scopes work to fixed outcomes where the requirements support it, and time and materials where they don't.

Five ways to engage Aetrum

Each model pairs senior architectural leadership with the right level of involvement, from a defined assessment to ongoing advisory, sized to where your organization is today.

Fractional Architecture

Senior Salesforce architectural leadership on a part-time, deliverable-focused basis. For organizations that need architecture-level decision-making, design reviews, and roadmap ownership, but do not need or cannot justify a full-time architect.

Typical structures: a fixed hours block per month (commonly 20 to 60 hours) or specific deliverables such as a technical debt assessment, multi-year platform roadmap, or pre-implementation architecture review. Engagements run for a defined term and renew by mutual agreement.

Common fits: in-flight Salesforce programs that need senior oversight, Oracle or SAP migrations during the design phase, post-acquisition org consolidation, and teams preparing for a major release or security review.

Architecture Oversight Design Review Roadmap Governance

Advisory Retainer

Ongoing senior advisory for organizations in steady-state operation. Architecture review, change advisory, integration guidance, security posture monitoring, and a direct line to senior expertise when platform-level decisions come up.

Structured as a monthly hours block with rollover within the quarter. Suited to organizations that have completed implementation and want architectural continuity without bringing on a full-time hire or re-engaging the original implementation firm at project rates.

Common fits: post-go-live stabilization, organizations between major initiatives, and internal Salesforce teams that need an external architectural sounding board.

Advisory Change Review Architecture Continuity Security Posture

Fixed-Scope Assessments

A defined engagement of 4 to 6+ weeks: architecture review, security posture review, integration assessment, or migration readiness. Defined deliverable, fixed price where the requirements support it.

Implementation Programs

End-to-end Salesforce implementation, migration, or modernization, typically running 3 to 6+ months. Senior-led delivery with specialists added per engagement need.
