Future of Industry Ecosystems: Shared Operations and Expertise

Future of Industry Ecosystems: Shared Operations and Expertise

This IDC Perspective details the current approach and opportunity for shared operations and expertise as part of a future of industry ecosystem strategy, complementary to shared data and insights, and shared applications. Within the piece, we include data from our recent Future of Industry Ecosystems Global Survey related to shared data, as well as analyze the key use cases that organizations are focusing on today."Organizations are looking to industry ecosystem partners to enhance their operational approach and augment their expertise, knowledge, and innovation practices. This could be for talent to help fill some of the skills gaps that exist in most industries today, whether in engineering, production, supply chain, IT, operations, or customer/citizen/patient service. Shared operations could also be providing physical assets to produce, move, or service goods or augmenting IT and networking capabilities to ensure smooth and secure collaboration and communication among industry ecosystem participants," said Jeffrey Hojlo, research vice president, Product Innovation Strategies and Future of Industry Ecosystems.
