Composability enables governments to focus on citizen-centric services, rather than on the frequently used, siloed, program-centric approach. Government CIOs focused on digital transformation and innovation must:
Promote a culture of composable thinking by collaborating with organizational and ecosystem leadership to develop a future-state vision for service delivery. Achieving mission outcomes requires a flexible approach to strategy, enabled by empowering staff and partners to work together, autonomously, to adapt to rapidly evolving needs.
Develop a flexible approach to defining current-state and future-state capability models by working with department leaders to perform a gap analysis of these capabilities and advance a roadmap for a composable business architecture.
Create a composable technology architecture that embraces modularity and integration based on the future-state capability model by working with technology and product leaders to develop a roadmap for the digital government technology platform.
By 2024, more than 25% of government RFPs for mission-critical IT systems will require solutions architecture and variable licensing that support a composable design approach. This is compounded by our prediction that by 2025, eight of the top 10 application vendors will structure their application suite products as collections of composable business capabilities.
