Definition of Mid – platform: enterprise – class reusable capabilities platform
Key words:
- Enterprise-level: that is, the middle platform ultimately serves all lines of business, the entire enterprise, not just the specific needs of a line of business
- Reusable capabilities: This is the biggest difference with the platform. The platform is to improve efficiency through the online web side, but in many cases, it may not consider the reusability of functions, only for some specific scenarios.
- Platforms: Why platforms? What is more reflected here is that whether it is the platform or the mid-stage, the final presentation is still the same, still on the Web side
Need to think clearly before the construction of the four problems?
- Zhongtai’s vision: that is to say, why do zhongtai? What kind of effect do you want to achieve? Be sure to define an effect and a vision that the center ultimately wants to achieve.
- Zhongtai users: who are zhongtai users and customer groups? That is the business line of the entire enterprise, as well as customers, not the specific needs of a certain line, not some short-term needs, medium and Taiwan must consider the long-term value generated for the enterprise.
- Who will pay for the central bank: clear who will pay? Does the company pay for it? Or is the line of business paying?
- How to verify the target: Alibaba’s assessment is designed as: 40% stability +25% business innovation +20% service access +15% customer satisfaction. When we verify, we can refer to it, but we must not completely copy it. Different enterprises, businesses and scenarios are different, and the final verification method still needs to be considered according to the actual situation.
Four steps to build the Central Platform:
- Discovery: Before the construction of Zhongtai, we must establish a global perspective. We must conduct an in-depth analysis on the enterprise level, the company level and the whole industry level, and ensure that we stand in a global perspective.
- Define: After the first step of global analysis and thinking, we are going to comb the business of the whole enterprise, extract what really to do? And what to do first, what to do after
- Design: After we understand what we need to do, the next step is to start doing it, just like other projects or products, to do it as an enterprise-level product, starting from demand analysis, according to the whole standard process of product production to develop.
- Delivery: Finally, it is the Delivery. In the process of Delivery, many new problems may be found or new problems may arise after practical application. At this time, we need to respond to the iteration quickly.
