Orchestration As A Way To Get More Out Of Existing Systems

2026-03-06_tech-stack.png

Imagine a technology-enabled enterprise. What comes to mind is often different from day-to-day reality.

Is there a clear technology stack? Data at the bottom? A user interface at the top? Clean efficient connections between data and insight?

Or do we have a mess of systems built and procured over time? People as an intrinsic part of the process. Software tweaked and customised over time to get the job done.

In such situations, change is a challenge.

Go down the RFP route, and you can end up getting a large, bloated system that no one uses.

Pick an innovative new platform – and navigate risks and issues raised by procurement, IT, legal, and finance – delaying the start of projects.

Change imposes costs. Real ones.

Right now, we’re being told that budgets are tight, costs must be controlled, and there’s no money to spare.

Buying a system doesn’t mean the work gets done. Sometimes it creates more work.

The pragmatic solution? Orchestration: start by getting the most out of the systems and capabilities we already have.
