Strategic Goals

Principles
Design and Delivery
Practices
Enable scalable
business
More customers/transactions
Self-service for customers
Support entry into
new markets
Flexible operational processes
New products and operational
processes
Support innovation
in existing markets
Flexible operational processes
New products and operational
processes
Reduce inertia
Make choices that favour rapid
feedback and change, with reduced
dependencies across teams.
Eliminate accidental
complexity
Aggressively retire and replace
unnecessarily complex processes,
systems, and integrations so that we
can focus on the essential
complexity.
Consistent interfaces
and data flows
Eliminate duplication of data and
create clear systems of record, with
consistent integration interfaces.
No silver bullets
Off the shelf solutions deliver early
value but create inertia and
accidental complexity.
Standard REST/HTTP
Encapsulate legacy
Eliminate integration
databases
Consolidate and
cleanse data
Published integration
