We Help Executives and Technology Leaders Drive Strategic Software Innovation in Complex Business Domains

Kalele was instrumental in guiding us on our path to using domain-driven design. Their work began with a large enterprise architecture review that involved many areas of integration with mainframe systems. Kalele then presented their results to our CIO, which led to full IT executive support for DDD. Subsequently, Kalele led a number of teams within our tribes in the use of DDD strategic and tactical design.

It was specifically in the areas of strategic design that our executive leadership benefited most. Understanding where to invest our software engineering resources was key to taking an unfamiliar leap with confidence. From a tactical perspective, gaining well-designed models in a number of working PoC artifacts was invaluable to our squads moving forward.

Kalele introduced our business and architecture teams to DDD, led strategic modeling, coached and mentored us, and helped us design and implement a platform for its use within our large enterprise. The exercise provided an important lift to those not familiar with DDD. It was invaluable at leveling the playing field within the team - DDD Distilled on steroids, if you will. With the use of EventStorming, Kalele was instrumental in the discovery of the processes within the Application Intake domain.

For this effort, our goal included applying reactive architecture and programming for the solution, which was a new technical venture. With the help of Kalele, our initiative was successful.

Kalele brought in end-to-end consulting and training services to support our efforts in delivering domain-driven microservices that stood up to business stakeholder demands. The engagement was DDD front-loaded and included identifying true core domains among many products that appeared to offer some business value. This helped bring business and technology people together to work from a common understanding of the problems to be solved and familiarized them with the tools with which to execute and deliver core value as an outcome. The effort included teasing apart the crucial customer impacts necessary to select the products with the highest and immediate profitability. This was followed by strategic and tactical modeling with domain experts and software development practitioners in the delivery of essential core products across multiple sectors. This helped us reach decisive scores on company vital KPIs.

Kalele consulted with and trained our engineers, and led our DDD initiatives across several financial product teams involving both business experts and engineers. This work included strategic steps to identify core domains and for migrations from a very large mainframe legacy system to DDD-based microservices. Kalele provided expert leadership, guidance, and training on DDD strategic and tactical design, API First designs, as well as event-driven and reactive architecture and programming. Further, Kalele developed implementations of MVP services products.

We included our business partner, Kalele, to add greater depth on domain-driven design and event-driven architecture to complement our team as we addressed the complex strategy, API-First, and DDD needs of a large bank. Kalele's reputation for excellence in consulting, training, and service-based software product development was instrumental to our success in the facilitation of legacy modernization using fresh practices. In the process, Kalele spearheaded two MVP work products for both retail and commercial divisions in conjunction with our team.
