Talk to Platformz
What is the difference between Platformz and OrcheSphere?

Platformz is the expert services firm you hire for discovery, blueprints, architecture, development and implementation. OrcheSphere is separate subscription software for persistent connections, company users, permissions and connected work. Platformz engagements and OrcheSphere plans are purchased separately.

Do I need a Platformz project to use OrcheSphere?

No. OrcheSphere is designed for companies to subscribe independently. Visit OrcheSphere.ai for current plans, paid connectors and account setup. Bring in Platformz when you want expert planning, architecture, a custom implementation or ongoing support.

Is Platformz for one kind of business?

We work with new ventures and established organizations across business models. A service company, product business or internal team can need a better customer experience, custom software, connected systems or AI assistance. We start with the business and the people doing the work.

What would we hire Platformz to do?

Plan a new venture. Design a brand or website. Build a customer portal or custom application. Connect existing systems and workflows. Introduce AI for a defined job. You can hire us for a focused problem or a broader program of work.

Can we keep the tools we already use?

Yes. We review what works, what needs to connect and what is worth replacing. Access, data mappings, provider requirements and testing are part of the implementation plan.

How does a project start?

Tell us what you want to launch, grow or improve. We identify a useful starting point, then scope paid discovery when more analysis is needed. You can review the packages and sample report before committing to a larger build.

Do we control our data and software?

Source code, data access, licensing and handover are defined before work starts. Your engagement makes ownership and responsibilities clear, including any reusable components or third-party services.

Can you support us after launch?

Yes. Training, maintenance, monitoring and operating support can sit alongside delivery. We agree the coverage, responsibilities and service terms for your business.

How much time will our team need to contribute?

We identify the people, information and decisions needed for the selected scope. Discovery sets out the preparation and review points so your team knows where it needs to take part.

How long will a project take?

Timing depends on the first release, existing systems, provider access and the work involved. We define milestones and review points with the scope. Discovery package hours describe the purchased capacity; scheduling is confirmed with the team.

How do you introduce changes to our current systems?

We review the existing workflows and agree the release, data checks and handover before introducing changes. Migration, provider coordination and transition work are included where the approved scope requires them.

What happens after discovery?

Review the findings and recommendations, then choose which priorities to take forward. Design, implementation, integrations and ongoing support are scoped separately. The sample report is illustrative; your package determines your deliverables.

WHAT DO YOU WANT TO LAUNCH, GROW OR IMPROVE?
