Business-Driven Software Design

Most organizations with notable investments in computing technologies are saddled with highly coupled, monolithic software systems that date back decades and undercut their ability to deliver customer value, compete effectively, and ultimately thrive. The good news is that a couple of decades ago the software industry evolved a better design paradigm based on well-formed, unique, and reusable software services. Service-oriented software systems, regardless of where those services run, enable organizations to be more agile, customer-responsive, resilient, efficient, and competitive. So why hasn’t every organization taken advantage of these modern software design concepts and retired their old heritage systems? The answer lies in how organizations design and build software. William Ulrich and his guest, Charles Bowman, will explore these questions, get to the heart of the underlying challenges, and explore ideas for getting organizations to more effectively leverage the latest technologies and software design paradigms. If you are curious as to why your systems development efforts cost too much, underdeliver, and fail to meet strategic goals and objectives, join our discussion on business-driven software design. Hear how your organization can not only improve time to market, but demonstrate a marked improvement in its ability to deliver on its overall goals and objectives.
