The world is changing

The average lifespan of a company on the S&P 500 has decreased from 90
years in 1935 to 18 years today.
82% of organizations are making changes to their
policies and IT infrastructure to support
the proliferation of personal devices.
Only 12% of the Fortune 500 firms in 1955 still were
in business in 2015.
86% of ITDMs say they are under “moderate” to
“extreme” pressure to deliver IT services faster than they did last year.

The C4E is a new operating model for IT•It enables IT and business units to fulfill connectivity
needs through an API-led approach
•It is not a project delivery team, nor is it an ivory tower, in the way that many Centres of Excellence (CoEs) have become
•Its primary purpose is the enablement of project delivery teams to leverage the platform and work in a faster, more agile and scalable manner - whilst also driving reuse and mass adoption
•It is an organisational way of working to drive multi-modal / multi-speed integration
Achieving de-centralisation, federation and speed without losing control: This is the Centre 4 Enablement (C4E)

Shifting the mindset
14
• Federated control, sharing with partners and those
outside IT• Delegrating implementation
to lines of business• Enabling self-service• Proposing business
strategies
• Having total control over all technology assets
• Implementing everything• Order-taker for the business• Reacting to business needs

Desired Outcomes from a C4E
15
• Speeding up IT’s response to threats and opportunities - by building capabilities that can be leveraged directly and indirectly by the different departments across the organization.
Faster time to market for IT
• Providing reusable assets that can be consumed by audiences outside of IT, to allow businesses to self-serve technology projects.
Establishing a core set of IT assets
• Reducing the delivery time for these solutions, allowing LoB IT or an Business Analyst to configure the templates without any need for coding.
• Retaining security and governance because these templates and APIs have security and governance built in.
Creation of APIs and templates
• Reducing the pressure on IT to deliver every technology project, freeing up time to work on more strategic projects.
Scaling across partners

Activities with the C4E - ‘Steady State’
Technology Platform
• Provide the platform to deliver an API led approach, application and license management and central product roadmap influence
Enablement & Evangelisation
• Persuade and evangelise APIs in the community, coordinate training and certification, thought leadership and feature / function awareness.
Productization
• Best practice ‘how to’ guides on how to design, document and brand APIs. Manage the central marketplace / store to discover and consume APIs services, repurpose and resupply
Service Ownership
• Provision of the necessary tools, analysis and processes to allow effective ownership and continuous improvement
Architecture
• Thought leadership and standards to achieve API led connectivity within the organisation
Automated Governance
• Automate governance as much possible. Coordinate collaboration with business and IT leadership, information security, risk and audit
Monitoring
• Provide a single view of all APIs, their endpoints, their utilization, their parameters and their adoption across the business
Accelerators
• Provision and ownership of core APIs, templates, connectors and patterns with a high degree of reusability across the business to create synergistic value

The correct scope for a C4E
18
Principles:● Be prepared to experiment, fail fast and learn from feedback● Own Products over taking order (product > project mindset)● Be a strategic adviser to the business, not a servant to the business● Own the feature set and prioritise the roadmap● Focus more on the ‘what’ and ‘why’ than the ‘when’ - take an
‘outside-in’ approach● Focus on customers, trends, NPS, adoption of the platform● Ensure direct involvement and input of customers (the business) in
initiatives● Understand the business as well as the user experience of C4E
customers● C4E team is evaluated on the success and adoption of the platform
itself (KPIs)

What’s the difference between a CoE and a C4E?
19
IT as owner (CoE) IT as enabler(C4E)
Goal Reliability Agility
Approach Waterfall, V-Model Agile, Kanban, Minimum Viable Product
Governance Continuous, process-based Plan-driven, approval-based
Cycle Time Long (months, years) Short (days, weeks)
Sourcing Enterprise suppliers, long term deals
Enterprise and niche, responsive short term deals
Culture IT-centric, removed from customer Business-centric, close to customer, fail fast
Talent Good at traditional projects Good at new and uncertain projects

Integrating C4E in the wider organization

The five must-have capabilities for successful C4E integration:
All contents © MuleSoft Inc.
Roles we envision in the C4E
21
Role Typical Responsibilities
C4E Developers Develop C4E assets.C4E Analysts / Analysts Generate appropriate demand for the C4E by triaging project
requirements into priority self-serve candidates
C4E Coaches & Evangelists Evangelise and coach teams across the business to think differently and adopt the C4E’s ways of working
API Product Owners / C4E Asset Owners
Champion the API, engage the rest of the business to reach mass adoption. Keep API operational and optimise through API lifecycle (inception through to deprecation)
C4E Architect(s) Provide ‘enough’ governance over the design and operation of the actual C4E assets. These architects could be part of a wider community, and not just sit within the C4E.
C4E Lead / Sponsor(s) Manage the overall success of the C4E, manage operation on a daily basis, measure ROI and performance, manage senior stakeholder and management perception, manage budget and funding.

Federation of integration disciplinesRole Typical ResponsibilitiesCore Asset Developers Unlock the business’ data assets and initiate population of the C4E
asset base. Act as quality entry point for any incoming assets into the C4E. Most likely within the C4E.
Application Developers Meet the business requirements for their initiatives quickly and in the most effective, engaging way.
Drive demand and feedback into the C4E.Integration Developers Most likely part of the C4E community, whether in Central IT, ETS
or across the business.Meet business requirements for their initiatives. Provide a key input into the C4E for demand generation, as well as create reusable integration assets for other consumers.
‘Citizen Integrators’ Improve their own and their teams’ productivity by getting access to data quickly and in a way they feel they control. Drive demand and feedback into the C4E.

Customer Success Story

Unilever - speeding delivery and lowering cost with a C4E
25
Unilever is one of the largest CPG companies in the world; it owns over 400 brands and its products are available in over 190 countries.
Unilever’s IT architecture currently consists of 12,000 integration interfaces, connecting over 1600 endpoints, and processes on average over 1.6 million transactions per day.
The classic systematic, centralized approach could not achieve the speed and agility the business demanded, and could not address the growing number of mobile app and cloud service needs.
We partnered with them to create an in-house adaptive integration capability, which operates in a DevOps framework, focused on self-service-oriented API connectivity and supported by a Center for Enablement approach.
