Our Vision
Generosity
We will set new standards in our industry, ensuring our customers are not only successful, but also have positive experiences throughout their digital journey.
Innovation
We will carve new paths in everything we do, from how we’re organized to how we deliver, yet careful not to neglect the well-trodden trail simply for the sake of being different.
Growth
We will elevate the individual as equal to the organization, treating consultants not as cogs in the greater machine, but as leaders standing shoulder to shoulder, deserving of mutual respect and equal voice.
Our Approach
Understand
We focus on your immediate needs while keeping your long-term growth as priority. You know your business best and we’re here to support your vision.
Share
The best technology with all the “best practices” doesn’t do you any good if it can’t grow with you. We teach you how to manage and scale every solution.
Deliver
With unsurpassed experience in the ecosystem, we don’t just deliver technical solutions. We deliver confidence to you and your team each step of the way.

Our Partnerships
(the few we recognize as the best at what they do)
It’s a relationship we don’t take lightly. As experienced resources averaging 6+ years leading Workday projects, we’ve seen the product grow exponentially over the last decade. We collaborate with Workday on lean and innovative ways to service emerging markets and medium enterprises.
Functionize is a singular, inspiring, and impressive group that we have had the immense privilege of working with, both challenging and expanding the possibilities of their next-gen technology. To say that they are leading the field in AI agents and automation capabilities is playing nice. Partnering together, we’re bringing self-healing nearly autonomous automation creation to your fingertips.
What our customers are saying
I will say that I’m the type of person who appreciates quality over quantity and if I could reset the implementation clock, I would have engaged with Solution Architects Group sooner.
Our resource from Solution Architects is very experienced (and reliable!) and his technical proficiency in WD is even greater than our implementation partner. You will never be assigned a junior or low-level resource. They just don’t hire that way.
