In a dynamic world where technological changes, global crises and market uncertainties are the norm, the ability to adapt is more crucial than ever. Companies that design their IT architecture to be flexible and modular are better positioned to drive innovation and remain competitive in the long term. The key to this is composability - an approach that enables efficiency and agility through modularity and seamless integration.
What is composability?
Composability describes the ability to design IT architectures from reusable building blocks. These modules, which are connected to each other via APIs, enable companies to quickly adapt systems and introduce new functionalities. In contrast to rigid IT systems, composability creates a foundation that can be flexibly expanded and adapted - ideal for remaining agile in an uncertain environment.
An example: In a company, a modular approach could mean that a new service for customer payments or an optimized warehouse management system can be easily integrated into existing processes without disrupting operations.
Why is composability important?
Global events such as the COVID-19 pandemic have shown how important it is to react quickly to changes. Companies with rigid IT structures had to laboriously introduce new solutions, while agile organizations were able to act immediately.
Composability promotes innovation by enabling quick and uncomplicated adjustments:
- Agility through modularity: New technologies or services can be implemented more quickly.
- Cost efficiency: Reusable building blocks reduce development times and IT cost
- Scalability: Companies can flexibly expand their IT structure in line with business growth.
A good example is Kohler, a global company that modernized its IT systems and made them more efficient by introducing composability.
Challenges on the road to composability
Despite the benefits, there are hurdles that companies need to overcome:
- Old systems: Many organizations still use monolithic systems that are difficult to integrate.
- Knowledge gaps: According to a survey by Boomi, managers often lack an understanding of the benefits of composability.
- Cloud infrastructure: Without a solid cloud foundation, the implementation of modular architectures remains a challenge.
Understanding and acceptance of composability at all levels of the company is crucial. This requires managers who recognize and promote the added value.
