2023 is shaping up to be an exciting year for composable technology. As organizations continue to look for ways to streamline their operations and improve efficiency, the use of composable technology in the stacks is becoming increasingly popular means to achieve this.
A composable technology stack is a collection of different technologies that can be combined and configured to meet specific business needs. This approach allows organizations to pick and choose the technologies that best suit their needs, rather than being forced to use a one-size-fits-all solution.
One of the key benefits of composable technology stacks is the ability to easily adapt to changing business requirements. As the business environment evolves, organizations can quick and easy adjust their technology stack to meet new challenges. This flexibility is especially important in today's fast-paced business world, where the ability to quickly adapt to change is crucial for success.
Another big benefit is the ability to optimize performance and reduce costs. With a composable approach, organizations can ensure that they are using the most efficient and cost-effective solutions. Additionally, composable technology stacks allow organizations to easily scale their operations as needed, without having to re-invest in new systems or infrastructure.
As the business environment continues to evolve, composable technology stacks will become an increasingly popular choice for organizations looking to stay ahead of the curve.

The challenge with Composable tech (and how to easily fix it)
The downside of using a composable approach is:
- Data become scattered in many different systems and hard to combine
- The systems are API-first and built for developers making them hard to use for digital teams without coding skills
Both problems are easily fixed by using an Experience Data Platform (like Occtoo) that is built for digital teams without coding skills to be able to easily access and combine data and content from any source.
By using an Experience Data Platform to unify and combine all your content, data, and APIs from all different systems in one low-code user interface you remove both of these downsides. Digital teams can instantly access all data (a Mega-facetted Catalog) they need to build a new digital experience without being held back by data integration. It’s a pure win-win situation since you reap the true benefits of speed and agility that comes with Composable, while all members of your team (developers and digital teams) get the right pre-conditions to do their specific job really well!

The next step for Composable
Based on this evolution, it is a very natural step for the Composable space to also become more accessible for business/digital teams so that they stop being in the backseat. Instead, they can move into the driver's seat and unleash their budget, time and energy to be used on actually launching and improving their digital experiences instead of being overwhelmed with data integration and tech challenges! This is also a very positive development for tech teams since it will offload their backlogs from tactical marketing initiatives and they can focus on deliver more strategic long-term value to the business.

In summary, 2023 looks to be an exciting year for composable technology stacks. With the ability to adapt to changing business requirements, optimize performance and reduce costs, it's no surprise that more and more organizations are turning to this approach to meet their technology needs. Now it's time for business/digital teams to be back in the driver's seat!
