The goal
Some people will wonder whether Gartner's neologism refers to the Composable Enterprise or the Compostable Enterprise. But joking aside: the Composable Enterprise describes an organisation that can adapt agilely to the rapid pace of business change (Gartner, Future of Applications: Delivering the Composable Enterprise, February 2020). An absolute necessity and a matter of course, you would think? Yes and no.
Agile adaptation
Strategie
So how do you build a functioning Composable Enterprise? At KPS, we see two strategically sensible paths.
Instant Platform
For all companies, on the other hand, that are facing a fundamental overhaul of their technological base anyway, the evolutionary path is clearly too slow, because it usually takes several years and involves considerable multi-project risks.
There is a real alternative: platform-based transformation, e.g. via KPS Instant Platforms. With Instant Platforms, digital transformations start for the first time on the basis of a through-composed and preconfigured platform that is ready to use and customisable.
The steps to the goal are more platform-oriented:
Evolution
The evolutionary path is most suitable for those companies already operating with state-of-the-art ERP systems and cutting-edge CX environments with MACH architectures (microservices, API-first, cloud-based, headless). These companies can focus on introducing new capabilities for the business at high speed and replacing or retiring outdated applications.
