For Fortune 500 operators
Enterprise software consulting
without the pyramid.
Architecture reviews, AI integration, and custom platform builds from a senior engineer who has shipped software through every major technology era since 1998 — delivered directly, without the billable-hour theater.
Why enterprise teams skip the big firms
The typical enterprise consulting engagement is structured as a partner-led pyramid: one senior name on the proposal and a team of juniors doing the work. You pay for the name, you get the juniors. Champlin Enterprises inverts that — one senior engineer, 28 years of production experience, writes every line of code personally. For initiatives where the architectural call matters, this is the difference.
Engagement patterns we see most
Architecture and platform reviews before a major rebuild. AI integration strategy paired with a production pilot. Technical due diligence on acquisition targets. Senior embedded engineering alongside your internal team for a defined initiative. Post-merger platform consolidation when two companies need to become one system.
The enterprise engagement model
Standard MSA, SOW, mutual NDA. Work under your paperwork or ours. Procurement onboarding in one to three weeks. Weekly executive status with written summaries. Monthly on-site sessions available on request. At the end of the engagement, complete ownership handoff — your team owns everything.

FAQ
Common questions
What kinds of enterprise engagements does Champlin Enterprises take?
Architecture reviews, technical due diligence, AI integration strategy, custom platform builds, and post-merger platform consolidation. Engagements typically range from a two-week sprint to a two-quarter build.
How is this different from a Big Four or boutique consulting firm?
Big Four firms route work through a partner to a team of junior consultants. Champlin Enterprises is a single senior engineer who writes every line of code personally. No pyramid, no deliverables-theater, no billable-hour games.
Can you work alongside our internal engineering team?
Yes. Many engagements are structured as senior embedded engineering — working directly with your staff as a senior technical lead on a specific initiative. This is the most common Fortune 500 engagement pattern.
Do you handle procurement, MSA, and NDA paperwork?
Yes. Standard enterprise MSA, SOW, and mutual NDA. We can work under your template or ours. Procurement onboarding typically takes one to three weeks.
What is the minimum enterprise engagement size?
Sprint engagements start at $10,000. Most enterprise engagements are $40,000–$250,000 depending on scope. Build and Fractional engagements are quoted individually.
Can you handle regulated industries (healthcare, finance, energy)?
Yes. Active experience in HIPAA-regulated healthcare workflows, financial services data pipelines, and DOE/energy-sector modeling. Security, compliance, and audit readiness are first-class concerns, not afterthoughts.
What happens at the end of an engagement?
Complete ownership handoff. Your team owns the code, the infrastructure, and the documentation. No proprietary frameworks, no vendor lock-in, no ongoing licensing. We stay available for maintenance retainers if you want the continuity.
