Slalom Composable Platforms
The Future
is Composable
Companies are moving off of monolithic martech platforms. Slalom, with Contentful, Bynder, Algolia, and Vercel, wrote a practical whitepaper on what the move takes and where it goes wrong.
Slalom's perspective
Monolithic platforms were built for one channel: the website.
The original web-CMS platforms were the right answer for the 2010s. They consolidated content, delivery, and personalization behind one license, one release cycle, and one team. That trade of capability for coupling worked when the channel was the website and the pace of change was measured in quarters.
It doesn't hold up anymore. Marketing wants a new channel every month: mobile, in-product, voice, kiosk, AI agents. Engineering is carrying a platform that was never architected for any of them. Licensing climbs while time-to-ship slows.
Composable is the operating-model response, not just the technical one. Best-of-breed platforms, API-first delivery, and a team shape that finally matches how digital actually gets built, for whatever channel comes next.
Whitepaper
From Monolith to Composable
What it takes to run a composable MarTech stack in production.
Slalom with Contentful, Bynder, Algolia, and Vercel break down the integration patterns, operating models, and migrations we've seen work in real-world scenarios.
What we ship
Solutions across the whole composable stack.
Slalom ships composable platforms end to end. From the architecture decision to the launch, with the operating model that keeps it running after our team rolls off.
Contentful CMS Platform Optimization
Open the hood on an existing Contentful implementation. We audit content modeling, performance, and editor workflow, then ship the fixes that compound.
Composable Platform Modernization
Multi-platform modernization end to end. Headless CMS, DAM, search, edge delivery, and the team operating model that ships and runs them.
