Composable pilot (proof of concept)
A full migration to a composable DXP or e-commerce stack can feel like a big leap. That's why we start small. The composable pilot lets you validate the benefits of a composable architecture by rebuilding a selected component in an isolated proof-of-concept environment. You'll see how composable technology performs with your real data and use cases—without touching production systems.
What we do
We collaborate with your team to select and implement one high-impact component, such as:
- Experience layer (front end): — Deliver a modern, headless front end for a specific page, journey, or campaign.
- Content and asset management — Replace a content workflow or DAM function with a composable alternative.
- Search and personalization — Implement intelligent, API-first search or personalization for a defined use case.
- Customer data and engagement — Connect to a CRM, CDP, or analytics tool for a richer view of customer behavior.
- AI and automation — Deploy AI-driven assistants, chatbots, or product recommendations.
- Marketing automation — Test campaign orchestration, segmentation, or multi-channel delivery.
How it works
- Scoping workshop — Identify the right pilot component based on business goals and technical feasibility.
- Isolated environment setup — Build a standalone proof of concept using representative data and workflows.
- Implementation — Configure and demonstrate the chosen composable service with realistic scenarios.
- Validation — Measure tangible improvements in speed, flexibility, or user experience against your current baseline.
- Knowledge transfer — Ensure your team understands the technology, approach, and next steps.
The outcome
The pilot delivers a tangible, low-risk demonstration of a composable architecture in action. You'll see:
- How quickly composable tools can be deployed and configured
- How they improve performance, flexibility, and user engagement
- What integration patterns and effort would be needed for production implementation
- What a broader migration could look like in terms of complexity and value
Why it matters
The composable pilot lets you experience the impact of composable in a controlled environment. It builds internal confidence and accelerates buy-in from both technical and business stakeholders before your team commits to migrating to a composable DXP.
Turn uncertainty into a clear, actionable plan.
Migration planning workshop (2–3 days)
Moving to composable is not a matter of lift and shift; it is a transformation. Without a clear roadmap, teams risk underestimating effort, broken user journeys, and runaway costs. The migration planning workshop gives you clarity and alignment in just a few days. Together, we define scope, phases, and ownership so you can migrate with confidence.
What we do
Over 2–3 intensive days, we bring together business and technical stakeholders to:
- Define scope and priorities
- Clarify business objectives and map them to digital experience needs.
- Identify critical user journeys and high-value components.
- Audit and align
- Review your current stack, integrations, and dependencies.
- Align marketing, IT, and leadership around shared goals.
- Map risks and dependencies
- Highlight potential pitfalls, such as downtime, API incompatibility, and vendor lock-in.
- Develop risk mitigation strategies and a rollback path.
- Design the migration roadmap
- Define the phases of the migration.
- Identify quick wins that deliver early value.
- Outline cost and effort ranges
- Provide realistic effort and budget expectations for each phase.
- Highlight potential overlaps to reduce total cost of ownership.
The outcome
At the end of the workshop, you will receive:
- A tailored migration roadmap with phases, milestones, and dependencies.
- A governance and ownership model to keep business and technical teams aligned.
- A risk and opportunity matrix that includes mitigation strategies.
- A high-level cost and effort estimate to support internal business case building.
Why it matters
This workshop will help you avoid the most common mistakes in composable migrations: underestimating the effort, skipping governance, or choosing incompatible tools. In just 2–3 days, you’ll walk away with a practical, evidence-based plan that will accelerate decision-making and reduce uncertainty.
Choose the right tools for long-term success.
Stack selection guidance
Composable DXP and e-commerce platforms are only as strong as the tools they are built from. But with dozens of vendors in every category, it's easy to end up with overlapping contracts, integration headaches, or the wrong fit for your business model. Our stack selection advisory helps you cut through the noise and choose the components that will deliver value today and scale with you tomorrow.
What we do
We provide independent, vendor-neutral guidance across all core areas of a modern digital experience platform:
- Experience layer (front end) — Headless front ends, frameworks, and hosting platforms.
- Content and asset management — Headless CMS, DAM, and workflow automation tools.
- Search and personalization — Intelligent search, recommendation engines, and personalization platforms.
- Integration and orchestration — API orchestration, middleware, and iPaaS solutions.
- Customer data and engagement — CRM, CDP, analytics, and engagement platforms.
- AI and automation — AI-driven assistants, content generation, and product recommendation engines.
How it works
- Requirements discovery — We identify business and technical priorities.
- Vendor landscape analysis — We review available vendors, interoperability, and the maturity of their APIs.
- Fit-gap assessment — We match tools to your needs, highlighting overlaps and risks.
- Selection workshop — We facilitate decision-making with stakeholders, ensuring both business and IT voices are heard.
- Stack blueprint — We propose a balanced ecosystem that:
- Avoids vendor lock-in through open APIs and standard protocols
- Maximizes ROI by eliminating redundant tools and licensing waste
- Supports your growth plans: add new markets, channels, languages, or business models without replatforming
- Enables gradual adoption so you can phase tools in without big-bang disruption
When you need more certainty: Technology Comparison PoC
Shortlisted 2–3 vendors, but still not sure which one is the right fit? We can design and execute a focused proof of concept that compares technologies head-to-head using a real use case from your business.
How it works:
- Use case selection — Choose a representative business scenario that tests critical capabilities.
- Parallel implementation — Build the same use case in 2-3 competing technologies.
- Objective evaluation — Compare performance, developer experience, integration complexity, and business value.
- Decision recommendation — Provide clear guidance based on evidence, not vendor promises.
This comparative PoC can be added to the stack selection guidance or run as a standalone service. It de-risks major technology decisions before you commit to contracts and implementation.
The outcome
You will receive:
- A recommended shortlist of vendors tailored to your business and technical requirements.
- A stack architecture blueprint showing how the chosen tools integrate and scale.
- A decision matrix comparing shortlisted vendors on criteria such as cost, functionality, and integration effort.
- A practical adoption path showing how to phase tools into your ecosystem without disruption.
Why it matters
The right composable stack provides agility and makes your system future-ready. The wrong one can lead to "microservices hell,” along with fragmented tools and rising costs. With our stack selection guidance, you gain clarity, confidence, and control over your technology choices.
Real numbers for real decisions.
Total cost of ownership (TCO) evaluation
Composable promises long-term savings, but leaders are right to worry: will costs spiral with multiple vendors, integrations, and parallel operations? Online calculators can't answer that—they oversimplify and ignore the realities of your specific business. Our TCO evaluation gives you a tailored, evidence-based view of costs and returns so you can plan with confidence.
What we do
We evaluate the parameters that actually shape your cost of ownership, across both technology and operations:
- Current platform costs — Licenses, hosting, maintenance, support contracts, implicit costs, and lost opportunities (downtime, data compromises, etc.).
- Implementation and migration — Effort, phasing, and parallel run requirements. Cost of integrations, orchestration, and data transformation.
- Team and governance — Skills needed for composable operations. Training, onboarding, and potential efficiency gains.
- Operational costs — Monitoring, DevOps, cloud infrastructure, and tooling. Expected overhead for vendor management.
- Business impact — Speed to market, campaign agility, and personalization at scale. Revenue upside from improved experiences and reduced technical debt.
- Future scalability — Cost of adding new channels, markets, or AI-driven features. Savings from avoiding major replatforms.
The outcome
You will receive a decision-ready financial model that includes:
- Baseline costs of your current monolith.
- Projected TCO of a composable setup over 3–5 years.
- Sensitivity scenarios showing how costs change with different migration approaches.
- ROI insights tied to your business priorities, not generic assumptions.
Why it matters
A true TCO evaluation is not about filling numbers into a calculator—it is about understanding the trade-offs and hidden costs. With our tailored analysis, you will know where the savings are, what the risks are, and how soon you will see returns. It turns uncertainty into clarity and supports a strong business case for change.
