Enterprise & Solution Architecture · Zürich
Architecture that holds up under regulation, scale, and scrutiny.
We design and govern IT architecture for organisations where getting it wrong isn't an option — aviation, financial services, and other mission-critical environments.
We believe good architecture should be invisible when it's working and traceable the moment it isn't. Our job is to turn strategic intent into systems that a board can trust, a regulator can audit, and an engineering team can actually build on — without the governance layer becoming a bottleneck of its own.
Three ways we help you get architecture right.
Engagements are scoped to what you actually need — a focused review, an embedded architect, or ongoing governance leadership.
Architecture Governance
We stand up structured architecture review boards, decision-tracking processes, and TOGAF/ArchiMate-based standards that stay in use after we leave — not a binder that gathers dust.
Cloud-Native & Integration
We lead cloud transformation on Azure and AKS, replace point-to-point integration with event-driven and API-first patterns, and modernise identity — designed for scale from day one, not patched into it later.
Regulated-Environment Advisory
Deep, hands-on experience in aviation and financial services means we already speak the language of ISO 27001, FINMA-adjacent controls, resilience planning, and audit-ready documentation.

Built to leave your team stronger, not dependent on us.
Independent by design
No vendor affiliations or reseller incentives. Every recommendation is scoped to your business outcome, not a product roadmap.
Governance that survives contact with delivery
We document every decision with traceable rationale and train your architects as we go, so the practice keeps running after the engagement ends.
Fluent in regulated operations
Twenty years spent where mistakes are expensive — aviation and financial services — means compliance isn't an afterthought bolted onto the architecture.
Led by Fanish Shukla
Fanish is an Enterprise and Solution Architect with over 20 years of experience, most recently leading architecture governance and cloud transformation at SWISS International Air Lines and Swiss Life Asset Managers in Zürich. He's spent his career at the intersection of business strategy and working systems — building the kind of architecture that a CFO and a backend engineer can both look at and understand.
Shukla IT Consulting exists to bring that same rigour to organisations that need an independent, hands-on architecture partner — not another slide deck.
