Architected solutions across three specialized engineering domains
Anderson Technical Labs structures service delivery around three core technical competencies, each designed to solve distinct architectural challenges facing financial institutions and regulated enterprises. Our engagements are scoped to your specific technical environment—no generic consulting packages.
Unified Intelligence Layers for Fragmented Data Ecosystems
Your organization operates critical business functions across multiple disconnected systems—core banking platforms, loan origination software, CRM, risk management databases, third-party APIs—and decision-makers lack a consolidated, real-time view of operational performance.
Common Scenario: Data exists in FIS/Symitar/Encompass/Salesforce/custom SQL databases, but there's no single source of truth. Reports require manual data aggregation. Regulatory examiners flag inadequate risk visibility.
What We Deliver:
Example Integrations: FIS core banking, Symitar, Encompass, nCino, Salesforce, Jack Henry, FICS, DocuSign, credit bureaus (Experian, Equifax), payment processors
What We Deliver:
Technology Stack: PostgreSQL, SQL Server, Snowflake, AWS Redshift, Azure Synapse, dbt (data build tool)
What We Deliver:
Sync Frequencies: Real-time (sub-second), near-real-time (1-5 min), hourly batch, daily batch—scoped to business requirements
What We Deliver:
Visualization Stack: Custom React/Vue.js dashboards, Tableau, Power BI, Looker—selected based on your team's skillset
What We Deliver:
Outcome: Platform architectures that satisfy regulatory examinations without blocking business agility
What We Deliver:
Outcome: Single customer view across all touchpoints—CRM, core banking, lending, servicing
Timeline: 8-16 weeks
Scope: Connect 2-4 core systems with centralized data warehouse and initial dashboard suite
Deliverables: API integrations, ETL pipelines, data warehouse schema, 3-5 executive dashboards, technical documentation
Investment Range: $100k - $250k
Timeline: 6-12 months (phased)
Scope: Comprehensive data fabric integrating 8-12+ systems with advanced analytics capabilities
Deliverables: Full data warehouse, 15-20+ dashboards, automated reporting, API catalog, ongoing support
Investment Range: $400k - $1M+
Timeline: Ongoing (monthly/quarterly)
Scope: Continuous optimization, new integration additions, dashboard enhancements, technical advisory
Deliverables: Monthly feature releases, priority support, architecture consulting, capacity planning
Investment Range: $15k - $40k/month

Secure, Scalable, Audit-Ready Cloud Architectures for Regulated Environments
Your organization needs to modernize infrastructure, migrate to the cloud, or architect secure deployment environments that satisfy regulatory requirements (GLBA, SOC 2, FISMA, state banking regulations). You require infrastructure-as-code, automated DevOps pipelines, and production-grade reliability.
Common Scenario: Legacy on-premise servers approaching end-of-life, manual deployment processes causing security risk, no disaster recovery plan, or need to pass SOC 2 Type II audit for client-facing platforms.
What We Deliver:
Cloud Platforms: AWS (including GovCloud for FIPS 140-2), Azure (including Azure Government), Google Cloud Platform
What We Deliver:
Outcome: Development teams ship features weekly/daily with confidence—automated testing catches issues pre-production
What We Deliver:
Audit Support: We prepare documentation for SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, GLBA, NCUA/FDIC examinations
What We Deliver:
Outcome: Operations teams detect and resolve incidents before users experience impact
What We Deliver:
Platforms: PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, MongoDB, AWS RDS/Aurora, Azure SQL
What We Deliver:
Typical SLAs: 99.9% uptime (8.76 hours annual downtime), 4-hour RPO, 8-hour RTO for most financial institution workloads
Timeline: 12-20 weeks
Scope: Migrate 3-5 applications from on-premise to cloud with security hardening and DevOps setup
Deliverables: Cloud architecture, IaC templates, CI/CD pipelines, monitoring setup, migration runbooks, training
Investment Range: $150k - $400k
Timeline: 6-9 months (phased)
Scope: Full infrastructure overhaul—cloud adoption, Kubernetes deployment, security compliance, DR implementation
Deliverables: Production-ready infrastructure, automated deployments, compliance documentation, 24/7 monitoring
Investment Range: $350k - $800k
Timeline: Ongoing (annual contract)
Scope: 24/7 infrastructure management, security patching, performance optimization, incident response
Deliverables: Guaranteed uptime SLA, monthly optimization reports, priority support, capacity planning
Investment Range: $20k - $60k/month
Infrastructure in Production: All Anderson Technical Labs platforms operate on hardened cloud infrastructure with 99.95%+ uptime
Bespoke Software Architected for Your Unique Workflows and Business Logic
Your business processes don't fit off-the-shelf software. You need custom applications—loan origination platforms, member portals, internal operations systems, financial reporting engines—that encode your specific workflows, compliance requirements, and competitive differentiators.
Common Scenario: Current software forces workarounds, requires expensive customization, or creates vendor lock-in. You're paying for features you don't use while critical functionality is missing.
What We Deliver:
Loan Types Supported: Commercial real estate, SBA 7(a)/504, equipment financing, consumer auto, personal loans, lines of credit
What We Deliver:
Security: Multi-factor authentication, session timeout, IP whitelisting, PII encryption—GLBA compliant by design
What We Deliver:
Outcome: Reduce manual data entry, eliminate paper-based processes, improve operational consistency
What We Deliver:
Compliance: Audit trails for all financial calculations, version control for report templates, approval workflows
What We Deliver:
Governance: Model documentation, performance monitoring, bias testing, human oversight frameworks
What We Deliver:
Use Cases: Mobile banking, loan officer field applications, member engagement apps

All engagements begin with no-cost Discovery & MVP Design phases. You only commit financially once you've seen architecture blueprints, sprint plans, and validated the approach will deliver your outcomes.
Schedule a no-cost technical discovery session. We'll assess your environment, identify opportunities, and propose a phased implementation approach.
