Book a Free ConsultationWe are a small, senior-led software and architecture practice based in Cape Town, founded by Daniel Souchon – a Solution & Software Architect with 20+ years of experience in enterprise systems, cloud, and API strategy.
Our specialty is corporate system documentation and derisking: capturing the knowledge locked in long-lived, business-critical systems and turning it into a structured, maintainable asset for your organisation. We combine this with cloud & API architecture, digital transformation, and AI-assisted software development to help you move faster with less risk.
For larger projects, we bring in trusted senior subcontractors and mentor juniors, giving you the flexibility of a scalable team with the quality of a single, accountable partner.
End-to-end documentation of complex, long-lived systems, including architecture, data flows and critical business rules – enabling maintenance, onboarding and audits.
Working with retiring architects and understaffed teams to capture knowledge, reduce key-person risk and protect shareholders from operational disruption.
Architecting Azure-based, API-first, microservice-friendly platforms that modernise legacy estates and prepare you for digital transformation.
Using responsible AI tools to accelerate discovery, improve code quality and de-risk delivery – while keeping architecture and governance in human hands.
We work with your team and key stakeholders to understand the system landscape, identify risks, and map critical knowledge.
Structured capture of architecture, data flows, business rules and dependencies using AI-assisted tools and proven frameworks.
Design future-ready solutions: cloud migration paths, API strategies, and modernisation roadmaps aligned with your business goals.
Hands-on development, mentoring and team augmentation to execute the plan with quality, accountability and reduced risk.
24+ years across retail, finance, telecoms and SaaS, delivering mission-critical systems.
We combine rigorous documentation and architecture practice with AI tools where they add value.
You work directly with senior people; juniors are mentored, not left unsupervised on your critical systems.
We measure success by reduced operational risk, smoother onboarding and long-term stability.
We partner with mid-to-large organisations facing complex system challenges, particularly those with legacy systems, key-person dependencies, or digital transformation initiatives.
"Daniel and I became colleagues when he was hired for an ongoing software development project as a backend developer. He showed great flexibility during the onboarding process and thereafter and contributed to the project from day one. He fit right into the team and I truly enjoyed working with him, both for his professionalism and his excellent people skills and sense of humour."
"I have worked closely with Daniel for 2 years now on various software related projects. He is always reliable, shows great skill and willing to offer a helping hand when asked. He has great insight and know what questions to ask to move projects forward. He is definitely someone I loved collaborating with and will never hesitate to work with him again in the future."
Daniel Souchon & Partners operates as a senior-led core with a trusted network of specialists. For larger initiatives we assemble teams of senior subcontractors and carefully selected juniors, giving clients the right mix of skills without the overhead of a large consultancy.
