前不久，我在阿姆斯特丹的 ING 总部与该公司全球技术战略负责人 Marco Eijsackers 展开了对话。ING 为全球超 4,000 万客户提供服务，企业技术团队拥有数千名工程师，它面临众多企业 IT 管理者都在思考的一个核心问题：如何打造一套灵活的技术战略，既能拥抱 AI，又不会被单一供应商的路线图锁定？
本次对话围绕自主架构展开，探讨 ING 如何在业务规模、严苛金融监管、快速迭代的技术周期三者之间取得平衡，也供其他企业管理者参考借鉴。
- 依托开放标准化解复杂性：ING 正在对遗留系统进行精简改造，迁移至可全局复用的平台能力之上。依托开源技术、Kubernetes 以及标准化 API，企业既可以保障跨环境的灵活适应能力，同时消除供应商锁定问题。
- 原生设计实现数字主权：要满足 DORA 这类监管要求，需要采用“智慧上云”思路。ING 在私有云中承载敏感工作负载，同时为非核心系统有选择地使用公共云提供商资源。
- 赋能工程师团队：通过 One Engineering System，ING 为开发人员提供自动化护栏以及“黄金路径”。将合规要求直接嵌入工作流，把预配置耗时从数小时缩短至数分钟。
- 迎接智能体优先的未来：除 Vista 平台等现有 AI 应用之外，ING 正在搭建沙盒环境，以便安全地试验智能体运行时与全新运维模式。
当被问及对其他企业技术高管有何建议时，Marco 分享了一条令我深有共鸣的原则：
“对愿景要多一份坚持，但实现愿景的具体方式不妨灵活变通。”
我本人也一直秉持相近理念：观点鲜明，但不固执己见。坚守核心信念，但若有相悖的数据佐证，也要乐于转变思路。无论正在推进云迁移、提升开发人员效率，还是布局企业 AI，ING 的实践都为现代 IT 战略提供了极具价值的参考范本。
