Make your software strong for the future

Find out how you can sustainably improve your software landscape with Domain-Driven Transformation . In times of technological change, it is essential that companies transform their existing systems in order to remain competitive.

Domain-Driven Transformation is about rethinking and modernising existing software landscapes rather than replacing them completely. This method, developed by Dr Carola Lilienthal and Henning Schwentner, aims to reduce the complexity of old systems and make them fit for future requirements.

Old systems are often characterised by evolved monoliths that no longer meet the requirements of the modern market. Companies are feeling the pressure to shorten their time-to-market, increase their agility and make operations more efficient. Domain-Driven Transformation offers a solution here.

The advantages of domain-driven transformation:

• Preservation of specialist knowledge: by focussing on the domain, important specialist aspects are preserved and can even be strengthened.
• Modularity and scalability: The division into bounded contexts makes systems more modular and easier to scale.
• Improved collaboration: The transformation promotes collaboration between development teams and domain experts, which leads to better results.

The transformation process:

• Rediscovering the functional domain: Uncovering the functional core and the structures defined by the domain.
• Modelling the specialist target architecture: Deriving an ideal architecture based on the new knowledge about the domain.
• Comparing the actual architecture with the target architecture: Thorough analysis of the existing systems and their weak points in relation to the modelled target architecture.
• Prioritising and implementing the conversion measures: Planning and step-by-step implementation of refactorings for continuous improvement.

Transformation is an iterative process that is continuously improved and adapted. By taking small, incremental steps, companies can minimise risks and achieve results more quickly.

Domain-Driven Transformation offers companies the opportunity to modernise their existing systems and prepare them for the future. By focussing on the domain and using agile methods, competitiveness can be increased and digital change can be successfully mastered.
