In the beginning….
Core Systems Of Record are important and won‘t be going away anytime soon
They have powerful characteristics
• Bullet-proof
• Tried and tested
• Highly resilient

They also have some downsides...
• They‘re big, complex and monolithic
• They‘re often rigid and brittle
• They‘re difficult to evolve
Think IBM CICS, SAP R/3, MFG/Pro

Leveraging the Core
• Systems Of Record capture the core capabilities of the Enterprise (Data and Business Logic)
• Build entry points to core capabilities and enable safe and secure access via APIs (typically REST/JSON)
• Support full read/write semantics to Business Entities
• Build the underpinnings for building Systems Of Differentiation

New Rules for Differentiated Businesses
Enterprises need to differentiate Products and Services more quickly and efficiently than ever before – IT and LOB-driven Systems Of Differentiation are a key enabler
Systems of Differentiation have powerful characteristics:
• They leverage core System Of Record assets
• Updates are typically pushed out on a monthy cadence
• The authoring environment is a PaaS
• Snap-in access to Data Sources and 3rd-Party Services
• Development is model-based and geared towards maximum Productivity

Getting to Best-In-Class
• Systems of Differentiation can be further leveraged to support Innovation
• Mobile is a great example – tweak changes or deliver existing Web-based Applications for a mobile use-case
• Adaptation for mobile from Ideation to Delivery in days, not weeks
• Experiment and Learn – dispose if necessary
