From The Cutter Blog
Organizations
are modernizing their products offerings to include connected products. They’re
using technology to connect their products to cloud environments. They’re
instrumenting their products with sensors that feed real-time data to a
machine-learning model in the cloud. These sensors are comparing current
operation of products to best operation of them and feed back instructions on
how to use the products better. Whether the goal is to provide more value for
the consumer, or to improve the quality or efficiency of a product, organizations
are collecting data from many different sources, analyzing it, and using the
insight it provides turn action into value. This is the face of digital
business.
In the on-demand
webinar “Architecture
for Digital Business,” Cutter Consortium Senior Consultant Mike Rosen explains how taking
a business architecture and value delivery–based approach to your digital
strategy can help your organization take advantage of the many
opportunities that digital transformation provides. He discusses why provisioning
your platform based on next-generation application, information, security, and
technology is critical to success.
According to
Rosen, every organization has essential challenges regarding their platform:
- Your organization must take the generic digital business platform and architect a specific platform instance to meet your organization’s strategies and goals (business and operating model).
- You must transform the marketing perspective of the platform into an architectural and implementation perspective.
- Given a specific platform architecture, your organization must incrementally provision the platform over time while simultaneously execute initiatives that deliver on your strategy.
In the “Architecture for Digital Business” on-demand webinar, Rosen discusses the overall architecture needed to create a digital business platform and the new business, information, application, technology, performance, and security architectures that comprise it.

Mike Rosen also delivers a two-day, inhouse training engagement that will help your organization create an architecture for a digital business platform. You can get more information here.
