HOW TO BUILD A COST-EFFECTIVE COMPOSABLE BUSINESS PLATFORM

20 June 2025

Traditional monolithic, single-vendor systems have consistently failed to deliver the agility and innovation required for successful digital transformation. As a result, forward-thinking organisations are now embracing modular design, best-fit technologies, and architectural flexibility. To support this new strategy, the Gartner research organisation recommends adopting a Composable Business Platform approach. The shift toward composability enables greater adaptability, reduced vendor lock-in, and accelerated innovation in fast-changing markets. Composability simplifies change. In well-architected composable systems, services are loosely coupled, and their internal implementation details remain independent. This ensures that changes to one component do not cause cascading failures across the platform. But building Composable Business Platform can often lead to a spaghetti architecture. This is costly, vulnerable, difficult to manage, and difficult to govern.

HOW COMUNITY ENABLES COMPOSABILITY

The ComUnity Platform is purpose-built to simplify and accelerate the delivery of composable digital platforms. It reduces the risk, cost, and complexity of building successful platform-based businesses by implementing PlatformTech — foundational services that streamline how people, organizations, and resources connect across commercial ecosystems. ComUnity provides a centralized, scalable, and trusted foundation for building, running, and evolving digital platforms. Our platform acts as a Digital Platform Backbone, offering a curated set of connected services that span the entire digital value chain — from data orchestration and operational choreography to ecosystem interaction and governance.

Key capabilities of the ComUnity platform include:

  • AI-forward architecture: Enabling organizations to compose and recombine platform services dynamically without being locked into a specific vendor or toolset.
  • Automated foundation layer: Delegating all repeatable and infrastructure-level tasks to software and machines, so teams can focus on innovation and value creation.
  • Blueprints and accelerators: A portfolio of reusable templates, patterns, and industry-specific blueprints that expedite solution delivery. Example domains include Connected Healthcare, Smart City, Customer Onboarding, and Campaign Management.

HOW A COMPOSABLE PLATFORM HELPS BUSINESS

In an era of constant change and digital transformation, a Composable Business Platform helps leaders to make decisions that would have been too risky without the architecture of composability. It enables a company to be flexible and adaptable so they can more easily and quickly seize market opportunities, respond to disruptions, and enhance resilience
