212. Using Composable Products to Drive Agility and Innovation

According to Gartner Research, 60% of new custom business applications will be built using composable products by 2025. So what exactly are composable products, how should they be used, and which businesses should use them? Join 3Pillar Chief Innovation Officer Pankaj Chawla, Information Services Industry Lead Bernie Doone, and Field CTOs Scott Young and Rich Waller as they break down everything you need to know about composable products.

Composability and composable business products are a foundational architecture approach, in which companies are essentially creating modular building blocks of software that can then be quickly assembled into internal and external products. They discuss its lengthy list of business benefits: innovation, agility, operational excellence, accelerated business outcomes, and more.

But before you jump on the composable products bandwagon, they warn, you need to keep a few things in mind. First, mature companies with multiple products are typically the ones that can fully benefit from this approach. Second, business outcomes should lead the process–don’t just produce the next shiny product because composability makes it easier to do so.
