Central Repository Components in DBIM

A successful DBIM journey relies not just on process orchestration but also on structured reuse, governance, and shared visibility. Calibo’s Digital Business Innovation Methodology introduces foundational repository components—like the Use Case Bank, Internal Marketplace, and Global Marketplace—that serve as your single source of truth throughout the innovation life cycle. These components are not one-time inputs; you will return to them repeatedly as your use cases evolve from discovery to development to reuse. They standardize how innovation assets are captured, enriched, reused, and scaled—accelerating delivery while ensuring alignment and traceability across teams and initiatives.

It’s a centralized hub in Calibo’s Digital Business Innovation Methodology (DBIM) that helps teams capture, organize, and track business use cases from across the organization.

Each use case is logged with key details like goals, KPIs, timelines, team size, and feasibility—making it easy to sort, filter, and search. You can tag use cases, track their status, and avoid duplicate efforts by seeing what’s already been proposed.

Goals

Outcome

  • To act as the single source of truth for all discovered or proposed use cases.

  • Enables advanced search, discovery, and tagging, helping teams avoid duplication and leverage existing solutions or components.

  • Feeds directly into the Use Case Management lifecycle, supporting seamless transition into discovery, rationalization, prioritization, and development stages.

  • Establishes a centralized intake and curation hub for all discovered and proposed use cases.

  • Supports data-driven decisions by standardizing metadata (e.g., goals, KPIs, complexity, feasibility).

  • Facilitates reuse of proven use case components, workflows, or templates.

  • Establishes a transparent and structured path from ideation to execution.

Tagging Guidelines

Tagging helps categorize and filter use cases easily.

  • What to tag?

    • Business Function (for example, Finance, HR, Sales)

    • Technology Enabler (for example, NLP, AI, API)

    • Status (for example, Draft, Submitted, Under Review, Approved, Rejected, In-Progress, Delivered)

    • Priority Level (for example, High, Medium, Low)

Calibo’s Digital Business Innovation Methodology (DBIM) proposes to create a tenant-specific repository or flag within the use case bank for storing, managing, and governing validated business assets derived from use case execution. It serves as a structured vault for reusable components—such as data models, ML algorithms, dashboards, APIs, and more—that are elevated from isolated project deliverables to strategic, reusable enterprise assets.

Each asset is enriched with metadata to enhance discoverability, searchability, and traceability. The repository supports role-based access controls, versioning, and audit logging, enabling secure collaboration across teams while preserving compliance. This underpins DBIM’s goals of accelerated delivery, reduced duplication, and standardized execution.

Goals

Outcome

  • Establish a secure, tenant-specific repository for asset storage, governance, and reuse

  • Transform validated components (for example, data models, ML models, APIs) into reusable, shareable, and scalable business assets

  • Enable intelligent search and classification using metadata, tags, and asset lineage

  • Support persona-based access, traceability, and compliance via audit trails

  • Efficient search and retrieval of reusable assets, including dashboards, APIs, workflows, and datasets

  • Rich metadata attached to each asset to support governance, versioning, and traceability

  • Audit logging and access controls mapped to user personas to ensure secure collaboration

  • Problem statements and value propositions linked to each asset for contextual understanding

  • Support for market and SWOT analysis to validate business viability and positioning

  • Full technical and functional documentation to ease adoption and reduce onboarding effort

  • Defined user journeys and integration points for faster implementation

  • Cross-team and cross-tenant scalability of assets across geographies and business units

The Global Marketplace extends the principles of reuse and scalability beyond organizational boundaries. Managed by Calibo, this publicly viewable environment is where production-validated business assets can be shared across customers, partners, and ecosystems.

All assets published to the Global Marketplace undergo a rigorous asset analysis to ensure they are scalable, secure, compliant, and broadly reusable. This promotes cross-industry collaboration, drives faster time-to-market, and enables ecosystem-wide innovation. With built-in audit trails and persona-based access, the Global Marketplace maintains the high standards of governance required for enterprise use.

Goals

Outcome

  • Establish a unified repository within the Calibo platform for sharing validated business assets across organizations.

  • Minimize duplication of effort, accelerate solution delivery, and encourage adoption of proven best practices.

  • Make assets universally accessible within the Calibo ecosystem, outside individual client environments, for cross-tenant utility.

 

  • Enables access to reusable and scalable business assets, including data models, ML models, dashboards, APIs, and applications.

  • Ensures only production-validated assets enter the marketplace through a rigorous asset analysis process.

  • Facilitates collaboration between SI partners and Calibo to assess shareability, reusability, and scalability.

  • Provides a structured repository outside individual client tenants, making assets universally accessible within the Calibo ecosystem.

  • Encourages innovation and efficiency by reducing redundancy and promoting best practices across industries.

  • Supports governance and compliance by maintaining audit logs and persona-driven access control.
