Technology Provider Roles in European Digital Industry Ecosystems

In this newly published report, IDC senior research analyst Anielle Guedes takes a look at the unique role that an ecosystem orchestration platform plays in powering Digital Industry Ecosystems – a role that is crucial to connect all the ecosystem players and enable cohesive business processes. This report aims at understating the role of tech providers in digital industry ecosystems, investigate the dynamics among tech providers to create the solutions behind digital industry ecosystems, and explore the role of the ecosystem orchestrator platform (EOP).

EOPs provide orchestrators with a modern architecture and deployment flexibility to avoid the undifferentiated heavy lifting of building a proprietary platform. IDC cite Beyond Now’s Infonova Platform as representative of a mature digital-native platform for consolidated digital industry ecosystem orchestration. IDC sees the platform as a best-fit for:

• Ecosystems oriented to creating and selling new products with partners
• Internal ecosystems to reduce silos within organizations
• Ecosystems to address multimarket geographies (multiple languages, catalogues, billing systems, etc.)

This report builds on IDC’s ongoing research about a new type of IT, which they refer to as Ecosystem Orchestration Platforms (EOP), that enables new digital business models and partner ecosystem innovation.

Read more how Infonova Digital Business Platform is designed to support the monetization and orchestration of partner offerings at scale, giving you the edge to rapidly experiment, launch and grow, while starting small and scaling up with success. It powers the end-to-end dynamics of a partner ecosystem including channel partners, solution partners, marketplace and B2B2X.
