Open Prem is developing an open-source foundation it calls Web4 to help enterprise applications work together. Its approach gives applications a shared way to communicate across different software stacks and environments.
The company describes peer-to-peer communication combined with centralized governance. Applications can exchange information while the enterprise retains control over the policies and infrastructure that govern those connections.
The business problem is familiar to teams managing an established technology estate. Each additional system can create another set of integrations to maintain. Changes in one application can then affect work elsewhere, absorbing time that could go toward improving a customer or employee experience.
Open Prem’s proposed foundation addresses that integration burden. For an enterprise considering the approach, the useful starting point is a workflow that crosses existing systems, with a clear account of the information that needs to move and who is responsible for it.
Describe the information your team needs and where it sits today. I’ll help you explore whether Open Prem fits the connections you’re trying to make.
