Domain-Driven Design

At Info Support, we have focused on bringing added value to our clients for years. That’s how we know that no two projects are alike. It’s also why we like to embrace methods and techniques that can help us better understand what clients want. Such insight is especially crucial when the project involves a highly complex environment. Domain-Driven Design (DDD) offers an appropriate solution to this challenge.

Domain-Driven Design

What is Domain-Driven Design?

Domain-Driven Design (DDD) is a concept within software development which states that the language and structure of the final solution should be fully in line with the (business) domain. People often use the same terms for different things – or vice-versa – without realizing it. To deliver added value to our clients, it is therefore essential that the business and IT sides speak the same language and understand each other.

Why choose Domain-Driven Design?

One concept can easily have different meanings. Take the term “customer”, for example. Is this a business client that purchases products from you, a prospect from your marketing campaign or a supplier? The key is to listen to each other, understand the nuances and, most importantly, recognize and identify the context in which terms have an unambiguous meaning.

DDD brings business and IT closer together

By truly understanding each other, we ensure that the IT landscape and the final applications fit perfectly within your specific domain. The concept of Domain-Driven Design offers tools and models to achieve this perfect fit. The defined domain concepts and the domain itself are what matters most – not the technology or the solution behind them. The strength of DDD therefore lies in designing a software solution that matches the “language” of your domain. The result is complete alignment between IT and day-to-day business operations – right down to the heart of your (new) software.

Client needs come first

Other projects prioritize client needs as well, but DDD doesn’t look at these needs with a specific technology in mind. Instead, we search for the right solution based on a shared understanding.

Domain-focused, scalable solutions

Strategic processes often require specific domain knowledge to find the right solution. A DDD approach provides insight into the domain and facilitates mutual understanding, paving the way for a domain-focused solution. The scalability of the solution is considered at every stage, so that you can expand anytime and anywhere you wish.

Cost efficiency through greater ease of maintenance

Solutions that are designed using DDD focus on the application’s ease of maintenance. This allows the final solution to be managed more efficiently and saves you money on any additional maintenance costs.

Domain-Driven Design helps us prioritize the service instead of the technology: that is what businesses expect from us

Info Support as a partner

Thanks to our many years of expertise, we are able to develop future-proof solutions that large groups of users depend on. In doing so, we introduce and work with technically and functionally complex systems, all with a high degree of scalability. This means you can confidently rely on our experience. At the same time, you can implement changes and improvements in a controlled manner.
Drawing upon our vision for the future, we create solutions that you can continue to use in the years ahead. That sounds static, but a highly maintainable architecture makes it easier to implement changes and allow the system to grow in sync with your own wishes, in terms of both functionality and scale. This approach is also efficient when it comes to costs.
We deliver custom solutions and take a critical look at the fit for purpose: how can we fully integrate the solution into your existing IT landscape with the appropriate level of agility, security and desired productivity?

Domain-Driven Design ensures that everyone is speaking the same language
