Incrementally Adoptable, Low Code Platform

Journey Mapper

Journey Mapper is the primary tool used to create your Business Architecture. The Business Architecture is defined at 2 levels: Value Maps and the Customer Journeys that support the creation of customer and stakeholder value. These models, along with an integrated metrics framework, make up the Business Architecture that is ultimately used to generate modular services as backend and frontend code. The models are also used to produce analytics dashboards.

Journey Mapper was developed by Korio as a VS Code plugin and is provided to our clients.

Journey Mapper-Hosted Code Generation

With module boundaries set and journeys defined, use Journey Mapper to preview working applications in minutes and then, when ready, generate production-ready code. The models defined in the Business Architecture capture generic interaction and architectural patterns so that when we generate, we can produce code and configuration for the frameworks that your business uses and trusts. Generators are created using simple templates that ensure you won't be locked into dated frameworks or technology.

The Code Generator was developed by Korio as part of our VS Code plugin and is provided to our clients. Because we use code generation and not a black-box approach to low-code, applications and services built from Journey Mapper produce code that can be inspected for integrity. In fact, Journey Mapper simply enforces patterns that get translated to code through generators that our clients can build and optimize themselves.

No black boxes here.

Most low-code solutions are fine for building simple, standalone backoffice applications. Unfortunately, in most cases, these solutions require significant amounts of non-standard hand code to integrate them into your platform or technology stack. This is not a sustainable approach and it will be noticed by your users if you attempt to build more substantial applications with these tools. In most cases these applications simply can't be deployed to end-customers because they can't be integrated together to form a cohesive experience.

Our models, code generators and infrastructure components were selected and designed with modularity in mind - while at the same time, ensuring that each module could be wired into a complete and cohesive end-to-end experience. With the Korio stack, you get the benefits of small modules and the advantage that comes with seamless, integrated experiences for your users and end-customers.

In our experience, rich data and analytics capabilities are a major gap in most organizations. Even when data can be "found" and, eventually, compiled - it comes too late, at too high a cost or it paints an incomplete picture.

Because we design solutions and whole platforms around value-creating flows, the right metrics and analytics capabilities can be baked right in.

Our Business Architecture modeling, Value Maps and Process Models all start with the modeling of metrics. Data is a "first-class citizen" in any Korio-developed platform. By starting with metrics, we ensure services are designed to be optimal at first launch and continuously optimized based on a flow of real-time data.

No more guessing. Optimize based on fact.

Incremental and Modular By Design

Most enterprises that have a mature platform are virtually paralyzed by a monolithic architecture. While modular architectures aren't new and while the benefits of modularity are widely accepted, most platforms leave these principles behind and, instead, evolve into a tangled web. Commonly called a "ball of mud", these systems become impossible to change and optimize.

The Korio Platform allows for modularity through the strict enforcement of service boundaries because it directly leverages the Value Map and Journey-based models developed as part of the Business Architecture. The guidelines for model creation are designed to ensure that the boundaries of each service - also known as a "bounded context" - are set carefully and effectively. Typically, these are set around segments of the overall customer journey which ensures both technical integrity and direct traceability for Small Autonomous Teams back to the ever-evolving needs of the end customer.
