With the advent of the digital wave, how to achieve agile business delivery and continuous technology governance?

Combining its own rich business scenarios and technical practices, Ant Group officially launched the BizStack one-stop cloud-native development and governance platform. BizStack connects the distributed architecture infrastructure downward, supports mid-stage applications and business applications upward, and provides business modeling, architecture governance, and application templates on the basis of meeting non-functional requirements such as high performance, high availability, high reliability, and scalability. , Service orchestration low-code, mid-stage development and operation capabilities. By co-building products with industry ecological partners, it has opened up the last mile of application landing, and helped financial institutions to digitally transform.

In recent years, domestic banks have invested in digital transformation. Data shows that in 2021, the total technology investment of large state-owned banks will exceed 100 billion yuan, and the proportion of digital investment of leading joint-stock city commercial banks will reach 3% or more of annual turnover. In 2022, the "Guiding Opinions of the General Office of the China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission on the Digital Transformation of the Banking and Insurance Industry" issued by the China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission mentioned: Promote the transformation of traditional architecture to distributed architecture, accelerate the construction of enterprise-level business platforms, and strengthen enterprise architecture design. Standardize and modularize common business functions.

In the process of digital transformation, the following challenges are often faced:

1. Lack of unified technical middle-office infrastructure: the original centralized architecture lacks elastic scalability and is difficult to iterate quickly; the transformation of existing applications is costly and difficult; the technology stack is heterogeneous and cannot be operated and maintained in a unified manner, resulting in overall failure risks;
2. Lack of continuous technology governance and mid-office operation optimization capabilities: architecture specifications rely on documents, and design and implementation do not match; application analysis relies on manual labor, and the dependencies are complex, and the investigation depends on R&D and code translation;
3. It is difficult to form a synergy of business, structure and technology: in one word, there is a gap between business and technical communication; there are many chimneys and shafts in the system, and it is difficult to repeat the creation of wheels to coordinate; the level of personnel is uneven, and the quality and efficiency of the project are not guaranteed.

How to use a stable and efficient cloud-native architecture to support the distributed transformation of the system, and break through the traditional inefficient collaboration model through enterprise-level architecture governance and mid-stage development methodology, better guide application architecture design and development and implementation, and avoid projects Duplicate construction and waste of resources in the process, while accelerating business innovation, realize automated, digital, and intelligent operational governance, these capabilities will become the focus of the industry.

BizStack provides integrated tool support and best practices under the guidance of business modeling, architecture governance, business middle-office and other methodologies to meet the capabilities of structured visualization of architecture assets, standardized componentization of R&D processes, reusable and scalable service processes, etc. , is committed to achieving business agile delivery and technology continuous operation.

At present, BizStack has been implemented in many financial industry customers such as Sichuan Rural Credit and Tianjin Bank. Taking Bank of Tianjin as an example, Bank of Tianjin has fully adopted localized software to build a new-generation cloud platform. The data intelligence, business and technical agility capabilities of the whole bank have been significantly improved. The structured precipitation and automatic preservation of architectural assets have been realized through BizStack, which has revitalized the whole bank. At the same time, through the integrated architecture governance capability, from the formulation of the architecture specification, to the implementation of the specification, to the standardized inspection feedback, the architecture is visible, manageable, and controllable, which can better help the Bank of Tianjin. Complete the cloud-native transformation of the core IT architecture.
