Self
Service
Documentation and tools
that builders use to learn
(e.g., wikis)
Provide builders with
freedom and flexibility to
come up with new ideas
Building
Twice
Philosophy that it’s ok for a
limited set of people to
build the same thing
Reduce the time it takes to
gain concurrence in a big,
complex organization

To integrate or not to integrate,
That is the question.
Whether ‘tis nobler in marketing
To suffer the lost customers and
poor insights of siloed data
Or to buy a platform with a sea
of certified apps
And by clicking connect them.
