Using composability to drive flexibility, speed, and resilience

11-Jul-16-2021-01-32-38-34-PM

One lasting learning from the past year is that businesses that were able to pivot quickly could accelerate investment and strengthened their resiliency. Pivoting quickly is made possible by having a composable business made from interchangeable building blocks.

Imagine being able to take apart a spaceship and rebuild it as a castle using the same building blocks, or more relevantly, take apart a dishwasher and rebuild it as a ventilator. Enterprise architects are the ideal people to lead this effort given the knowledge already derived from architecting the enterprise. In this session you’ll learn how enterprise architects can be key contributors to composable thinking using modular thinking and applying it to business and technology capabilities.

How APM and SaaS Management can benefit from each other

10-Jul-16-2021-01-32-38-53-PM

SaaS has grown significantly over the last years and has become an integral part of the application landscape of every company. Some companies follow a very strict approach and point to it as “shadow IT” whereas others embrace the need and initiatives of the business and rather relate to SaaS as “business-led IT”.

EAs need to deal with the full spectrum of on Premise, IaaS, PaaS, SaaS, but most often rely on manual tasks to create the full picture. Integrations to the providers of IaaS, PaaS and especially SaaS effectively help to not only continuously have transparency, but proactively manage SaaS, thus redefining the role of the EA in an ever-growing SaaS world.
