Forget sprawling, rigid monolithic systems. In today's fast-paced digital landscape, agility and integration are paramount. This is where the concept of Services-as-Software comes into play, and platform.do is pioneering the way you can harness its power.
platform.do is built on the principle of transforming your everyday business activities into programmable, reusable software components. Think of it as Business as Code, where your operations, no matter how complex, are packaged into easily accessible and integrable services via APIs and SDKs.
At its core, Services-as-Software is about taking discrete business activities or functions – like sending a welcome email, processing an invoice, or retrieving customer data – and packaging them into reusable software components. These components can then be accessed and utilized programmatically, just like any other software library or API endpoint.
This approach moves beyond traditional automation by making business processes modular, discoverable, and easily composable. It's the building blocks of the modern, integrated enterprise.
platform.do provides the framework to make this transformation a reality. You define your business activities, often leveraging Agentic Workflow Platforms, outlining the steps, inputs, and outputs. platform.do then takes these definitions and automatically packages and exposes them as callable services.
Imagine defining the logic for a "Process Order" activity. You specify the required order details (inputs) and what happens upon successful processing (outputs). platform.do takes this definition and creates a service endpoint that other systems or applications can call, passing in the order data to trigger the process.
Here’s a taste of what a service definition might look like:
{
"serviceId": "svc_abc123",
"name": "Send Welcome Email",
"description": "Sends a personalized welcome email to new users upon signup.",
"inputs": [
{"name": "userId", "type": "string", "required": true, "description": "ID of the user to send the email to"}
],
"outputs": [
{"name": "status", "type": "string", "description": "Result of the email sending operation"}
],
"agenticWorkflows": [
"wf_def456"
]
}
This simple JSON structure defines a "Send Welcome Email" service with a clear input (userId) and output (status). It also hints at the underlying agentic workflow (wf_def456) that actually performs the email sending.
Why go through the effort of turning your business activities into services? The benefits are significant:
A key advantage of Services-as-Software is their inherent integrability. Since platform.do exposes your defined services via standard APIs and SDKs, they can be seamlessly connected to virtually anything.
Whether you need to trigger a service from your CRM, consume data from a service within your mobile app, or orchestrate multiple services into a complex business process, platform.do provides the tools and interfaces to make it happen.
While the underlying logic for a business activity might sometimes involve configuration or scripting, platform.do significantly simplifies the process of structuring, packaging, and exposing that activity as a callable service. The focus shifts from writing extensive custom code for integration to defining the business logic itself.
This often means reduced reliance on complex coding for integration and access, making it easier for business users and developers to collaborate and define processes.
The possibilities are almost limitless. Any repeatable business process or task can potentially be turned into a service using platform.do. This includes:
If you can define the steps and the inputs/outputs of a business activity, platform.do can help you turn it into a reusable service.
Services-as-Software represents a significant evolution in how businesses operate. By transforming your activities into programmable, reusable components with platform.do, you unlock new levels of Automation and Integration, paving the way for greater efficiency, agility, and Digital Transformation. It's time to embrace the future of business, one service at a time.
