IT departments have never had it easy, but today they face more problems than ever. External pressures such as regulation, customer expectations, cyber-security threats, and disruption from emerging tech make it challenging to keep up with the pace of change. Internal obstacles, including aging legacy systems, integration needs, demand for rapid change, competitive advantage for accelerating value creation, and cost efficiency pressures, exacerbate the problem.
With all these headwinds, it’s difficult to navigate a clear course. In reality, many CIOs realise that a new backbone architecture is required – one that is scalable, removes all single points of failure, is operationally flexible, complies with regulations, and drives new business models.
Easy, right? In practice, CIOs have tried three different approaches: off-the-shelf solutions, point-to-point integrations, and purpose-built choreography platforms.
Off-the-shelf solutions promise to fix everything with a single strategy and predictable release times. In reality, integration is never easy and can take a long time to resolve, never mind potential vendor lock-in and limited ability to influence development.
On the other hand, point-to-point integrations connect different systems as needed. This actually works well, as long as there are only a very small number of systems. However, complexity rapidly spreads with each addition, problems increase exponentially and overall costs quickly become prohibitive.
The most effective solutions are purpose-built platforms. This doesn’t mean ripping out everything and starting all over again, but putting it all within a dedicated integration layer to manage complexity and provide flexibility – minimising changes to legacy systems and enabling efficient use of physical resources.
This is where Marionete comes in.
