To support agile business growth, application products must evolve into platforms for business-led digital innovation. “Applications as platforms” refers to a transformative software design and delivery model that has become a requirement for most application product leaders’ strategies.
Modern businesses strive for self-reliance and autonomy in innovation to keep pace with the continuous changes in business and technology markets. Achieving it hinges on the democratized collaborative partnership of technology providers and business.
The separation of the initial engineering of composable application products (early binding) and the final business development of composite user experiences (late binding) transforms the architectures of roles and platforms in business software engineering.
Leading business software providers, including those invested in industry clouds and digital commerce, champion composability and generativeapplication engineering, forming deep new partnerships with their customers.
