Packaged Business Capabilities (PBCs)
PBC is a collection of software components representing a business service or function that stands alone, is functionally recognisable as such by a business user, can be consumed as a whole, and does not depend on external data or services to carry out its task(s).
Addressing specific Business need
Quick deployment
Easy to scale
Usually companies are looking to replace specific legacy software or implement new tool addressing precise business need. However most of the modern software solutions are built to cover multiple functions and Clients may have to choose between keep the workflow “as is” or get something which might not be fully utilised for the sake of addressing a specific business need…
The great advantage of the PBCs is that they are pre-configured based on industry standards and are ready for immediate use. Of course they can be customised to adapt to any business specifics but again the time to deploy remains minimal…
Scalability with PBCs takes minutes as they fit each other just as lego parts. For customised solutions, some slight adjustments might be required, but everything is happening through the User Interface and won’t take long…
