I thought a good place to start would be with Rippling's product design architecture. From what I understand, you have many reusable platform components incorporated across different products. I'd like to understand this better. Can you provide examples of the most common platform components and explain how these components are used across individual products, using as little jargon as possible?
If you're using two separate solutions, they must communicate with each other. Rippling has created a unified "employee graph," a single source of truth for all employee data, and built products on top of it. You have payroll, HRIS, benefits, time and attendance, performance, and other modules on one unified database. If you make a change for an employee in one place, it cascades across all modules, updating them seamlessly. This is where the name "ripple effect" comes from; a change here ripples throughout.
