Enterprise middleware platform : simplified
Platforms are systems that support a community. A platform is an investment, often a long-term investment that will only pay for itself over a long period of time. A platform supports a network — a shared resource — and in order to thrive, it must attract and retain members.- Gray, Dave; The Connected Company.
Platform of platforms
Why we need a platform
- Demand from the business stakeholders- Rapidly changing business requirements - Quick release cycles
- Continues integration and testing - Rapid technology changes- Provide Middleware-as-a-Service (platform)
Do I need the entire platform ?
- Iterative architecture- Iterative implementation

Give a code name for the platform. e.g. Digital Platform
Don’t use product/vendor names.
Introduce an onboarding program.Including samples, documents, patterns and
training.
Evangelize the platform (internally).
Build foundation services and expose as APIs.
Increase the developer productivity and reusability.
Seamlessly integrated.
Have a common enterprise architecture practices across the
organization. Include architects from different BUs and
architecture groups.
