Managing Commercial Platforms: The Architect’s Emerging Skill

This SkillsCast is currently only available to registered attendees of DDDx — Domain-Driven Design eXchange 2021

It will be freely available to all Skills Matter members once the DDDx — Domain-Driven Design eXchange 2021 early-access window expires on September 09, 2021.

Today the software landscape of enterprise is not built ground up by scores of software developers. Software engineering skills are valuable and focus on the core domain of the business. For the rest, software is often purchased. Much of this software is commercial off the shelf (COTS) platforms that support many areas of the business. While these platforms perform critical functions such as managing our customer data, they are often treated as second-class citizens. Architects work around them.

It is becoming increasingly important for an architect to understand what are commercial platforms, best practices for managing them, and know techniques (such as DDD) that will help obtain most value. Join Sonya as she shares her extensive experience as a solutions architect in the world of commercial platforms and learn from a case study of how commercial platforms helped mass testing during Covid-19 pandemic.
