Digital transformation: Building an event driven electronic seal service within a cloud native metrological ecosystem

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: The paper examines the challenges posed by legacy software and information architectures within organisations and proposes the Operation-Layer as a solution for digital transformation. It emphasises the need for integration to go beyond traditional digitalisation projects and reshape organisational procedures and structures for efficiency. The Operation-Layer, a cloud native metrological ecosystem of loosely coupled services, enables horizontal and vertical communication between departments and systems. The paper uses an electronic seal service as an example to illustrate how the Operation-Layer facilitates seamless data exchange between heterogeneous IT systems. It discusses the digital workflow for electronic sealing, highlighting benefits such as transparency and efficiency. The data tier, introduced with the Operation-Layer, simplifies the governance of digital workflows, through increased availability and combinability across traditional organisational structures. In conclusion, the paper advocates for a comprehensive digital transformation that leverages modern technologies and streamlines organisational workflows effectively.
