Is your IT system keeping pace with your ambitions?
As a retailer, manufacturer, service provider, or institution, you need to adapt quickly to market dynamics, customer needs, and technological advancements.
Scaling up, scaling down, expanding, innovating, personalising, automating processes—modern technology is key to all these activities.
However, many organisations struggle with outdated, cumbersome monolithic systems that make any change a challenge. How flexible are you if your IT is holding you back?
Your takeaway for 2025
To face the future with flexibility and digital agility, you need to (re)structure your digital ecosystem based on composable architecture principles.
What does composable architecture mean for your business?
With composable architecture, you can adapt your IT-system efficiently to meet the (future) expectations of your users. Instead of relying on one large software package, you shape your IT infrastructure flexibly by selecting and integrating the most suitable components as building blocks.
Flexible adaption with a modular setup
In a composable architecture, you combine independent software components that each perform a specific task. This allows you to use the latest technologies from various vendors that best meet your needs and build applications or digital ecosystems without overhauling your entire system.
How composable architecture adds value
Thanks to the flexibility of composable architecture, organisations and their digital systems are ready for whatever the future holds. Simply add new components to your system or adjust existing ones to meet new challenges. The good news is you invest only in components that truly add value, saving you a lot of time and IT costs.
Next steps for 2025
Identify the main bottlenecks in your current systems. Then determine which solutions would have the greatest impact on your business operations. In other words, conduct a thorough analysis of your current IT architecture and create a clear digital roadmap.
Start small. Implement software elements that add immediate value, like a Customer Data Platform (CDP) or a Product Information Management (PIM) system.
Work iteratively. Gradually transition from a monolithic system to a composable architecture. This reduces risks while you continuously improve your system.
Focus on customer behaviour. Use data analysis tools to understand the actual behaviour of customers and base your decisions on that.
Engage stakeholders. Involve stakeholders as early as possible in the process to reduce internal resistance and encourage buy-in.
Stay flexible. Keep the architecture flexible so new technologies and trends can be integrated easily.
