When large IT systems are too sluggish
Verticalization - organizing the division of labor according to customer requirements
In verticalization, the customer becomes the starting point for reorganization, and the idea of "data must not be copied" is abandoned. This makes it possible to adapt the information technology to the organizational structure. Employees and technology are divided into flexible and customer-oriented verticals and the sluggish monolithic structure is abandoned.Dividing a platform into several technically independent parts - that's verticalization
Verticalization involves analysing which processes are suitable as separate systems. In a journey through the entire organizational structure, areas are identified that can be easily isolated from a technical perspective. The aim is for teams not to have to wait for each other, but to produce positive results for customers directly. If individual IT teams are still too large and inflexible, they can be subdivided further.Verticalization acts as an enormous efficiency booster
The system has many convincing advantages: Efficiency is extremely increased because the teams mainly deal with software development and can automate a lot in their manageable area, for example testing. There are fewer meetings and much less coordination time. Decoupling makes it possible to do many things in parallel."Verticalization reduces complexity and enables faster processes for higher productivity."
Automating testing means being faster
When developers build something new, they also test it. Monolithic deployment is complex because it requires a lot of coordination and takes a lot of time. In vertical systems, every team runs automated tests, which are too unstable in large systems. Automated testing is the prerequisite for high implementation speed. Integration tests are superfluous in vertical systems - this minimizes the cost of delay.More speed for more success
Thanks to the verticalization method, we can build a store for a billion-dollar company within 9 months. The real magic is the technical decoupling of the teams, which work autonomously and independently of each other. This allows them to be very fast and go live with several features a day.0,-€
