Your job it is to architect and implement the company’s digital strategy.
To be successful, you must
- Deeply understand your customers’ journey and identify innovative solutions leading to better customer outcomes.
- Deliver powerful digital platforms, services, and data foundations that encourage agility and reuse across the business.
- Define and build an adaptive IT organization reflective of a changing enterprise
- Align IT governance, policies, and incentives to drive performance
But it’s not easy
- Identifying and fixing the fragile “Frankenstacks” of legacy solutions
- Fixing the inability to execute on changes the business demands
- Changing how people work – battling “that’s not how we do things”
- And connecting the dots – orchestrating the various visions of the IT across the business
Are you ready for the intense focus on user experience, speed of delivery, and agility?
Businesses want to move faster, develop more software, and deploy software and updates more often, but to do this in a traditional monolithic software architecture is a lot to put on developers. To ease the pain, more businesses and developers are turning to containers. To many, containers are the “next cloud”.
Let TechVision Research help you with your architectural challenges. Our advisory workshops are designed to help you understand the basics, what you are doing well, and what you might need to improve.
