What we are

New tech.
Old code.
Both handled.

Alpharam is a software engineering and cloud consultancy with 16 years of hands-on delivery. Our practice covers the full technology lifecycle — from architecting greenfield cloud-native platforms and integrating AI, to maintaining, extending, and modernising the legacy systems that businesses already depend on.

Many organisations sit on valuable software built on older stacks — .NET Framework, classic ASP.NET, legacy SQL Server, monolithic architectures. That software still runs the business. We know how to keep it running, how to improve it incrementally, and how to bring it forward without stopping the clock.

We work with organisations across the UK and remotely — as a technical partner that owns the solution, not just the hours.

What we do

Core
Services

What we do for clients — defined by outcome, not activity.

01

SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT

We design and build software that solves real business problems — web applications, customer-facing platforms, internal tools, and mobile apps. From a single product to a multi-platform suite, we take ownership of the full delivery: architecture, engineering, and release.

02

CLOUD ARCHITECTURE

We design and build cloud platforms that your teams can own and scale — observable, resilient, and free of tribal knowledge. From greenfield builds to complex legacy migrations, we make AWS work for the business, not just the invoice.

03

AI & ML INTEGRATION

We take AI from prototype to production — integrating LLMs, building agent workflows, and shipping RAG pipelines that behave predictably under real load. If your team has a proof of concept that has stalled, we close that gap.

INFRASTRUCTURE AS CODE

Click-ops is technical debt in disguise. We build infrastructure in Terraform, AWS CDK, and CloudFormation — repeatable, version-controlled, and deployable by anyone on your team. Your infrastructure should behave like your codebase.

TerraformAWS CDKCloudFormationGitHub Actions
05

MICROSERVICES & SERVERLESS

We decompose monoliths where it creates value and build event-driven systems that scale without inflating your infrastructure costs. Step Functions, API Gateway, SQS and SNS — designed for failure, built for throughput.

CLOUD COST OPTIMISATION

Unmanaged cloud spend compounds quickly. Our FinOps practice has delivered significant, measurable cost reductions for enterprise clients — in one engagement reducing annual AWS expenditure by over 40% through rightsizing, reserved capacity planning, tagging governance, and automated cost controls. We engineer the savings in, and keep them there.

LEGACY MODERNISATION & APPLICATION SUPPORT

Many businesses run on software that was built before cloud, before AI, and before modern engineering practices — and it still works, until it doesn't. We maintain, extend, and modernise applications built on .NET Framework, classic ASP.NET, legacy SQL Server, and older TypeScript codebases. Whether it's keeping a critical system running, incrementally refactoring towards a modern architecture, or planning a full migration, we understand these systems from the inside — and we know how to move them forward without disrupting the business that depends on them.
