Public Q&A

Why are architecture, front end, back end, APIs and content platforms part of the Technical Design & Development conversation?

Technical Design & Development · 2026-08-28

The connection matters because architecture, front end, back end, APIs and content platforms influence the same end-to-end experience. Annex says its technical team architects and builds enterprise systems, websites, apps, intranets, APIs, backend and frontend systems using technology selected for the project rather than promoting one platform. Our team brings service design, user experience, architecture, software engineering, delivery management and consulting to work together holistically, harmoniously, and objectively. Annex's published capability model brings those concerns together so that a decision in one area does not quietly create a problem somewhere else in the service or platform.

Useful next steps

Use this answer as a practical starting point. Current scope, specifications, compatibility, availability, pricing, timing and next steps should be confirmed directly with Annex where they affect a decision.
